Are we twins? I too have a grade schooler, a preschooler (I'm a room parent in both classes), and a baby (14 months old, and in the past week has gone from being just a clingy 31 pounder to a holy terror!!!). I don't cook alot from scratch (Hamburger Helper is a favorite around here. Does growing the beef myself count as my share of scratch?). I was going to bible study, but the baby had to come with me, wouldn't stay in the nursery (it was an 8 week session that is now over). I write two weekly columns for the county's newspaper (for my tiny community and the school), and I help DH with our farm and ranch, mainly go-fer (go for lunch, go for parts, feed cows, etc).

One thing that has helped is the Flylady system. Have you heard of it? It's about how to keep your house and life in order and not in CHAOS. Check it out at www.flylady.net, then come join us on the Flybaby thread where we post our TODO list, our TADA list (what we got done), or just rant and rave about how awful our day was (what I did today).

I think with three kids, you don't stop going, especially at the ages ours are. Between naps at different times of the day, taking the kids to and from school, helping at school, Cheerleading and going to the games they cheer in (PTA in your case), night wakings (thankfully, those days seem to be over for now), never ending laundry, etc, it's going to stay busy.

Anyway, check out the flylady thing, and welcome to this site! I hope to get to know you!! Baby is calling, must go!
