8 kids down and I was ready to tear my hair out!

My children are finally going back to school tomorrow! They'd been off since July and we moved house in August! They haven't been back to school since as nowhere had places but FINALLY the younger ones have been accepted! It will be just me and my 1 & 3 year old at home. My 12 & 13 year old start in a couple of weeks! I finally feel like my life is starting to get back to some normality now as being at home with 8 kids day in and day out was driving me INSANE! Thank God for small mercies!
