Wow, I tell you my friends, thank you for all of you who relate to my experiences with intense kids. I don't know how my baby Matisyahu will turn out, but compared to my older two, he is just a go with the flow kind of guy. Eli Tzvi and Ziona Sofia are non stop all day, their energy is mind boggling, demanding, and intense. I am literally exhausted at the end of the day, and am grateful that they love their sleep, and most nights sleep a good 11 hours.
The end of the day is heaven for me, when hopefully all three are asleep, and I get to regroup and and focus on planning my following day, and focusing on my own needs. Overall it has been a wonderful Day of Rest, my kids had fun with friends, and I had fun socializing, and then we get home and the "fun" begins. The kids are not tired at all, it is mid afternoon so I don't really want them to take a nap, I would rather them go to sleep latest 7pm. So that means I get no relaxation at all, and even if the baby goes doesn't for a nap, my other kids are climbing all over me, want entertainment, and its all me, because on this day there is no TV or computer, there is just me. Yeah they have fun together, but fights always erupt, and I think they are tired in the middle of the day, so its just really not relaxing once we get home.
So the older kids are out, now my baby after a good nap is quite full of energy, I am going to head out for a big for a New Month celebration, we have one every month in our Jewish community. I love connecting with people, adults to be exact, it really recharges me, I love adult conversation, and when there is a spiritual gathering, even more so, I learn what its all about and what and why we do it all for (sorry if that sentence doesn't really make sense - it just puts life in perspective.)
I wish you all just appreciating the good in everything,
Life is tough,
Would you want it any other way?
I would NOT.

We would be bored otherwise,
