I here you buddy been there most of my life. 8 kids all by myself and now retired and hope I live long enough to enjoy my ride.
But you heard that before just a reminder to hang in there.
Holy crap! You have 8 kids? I'm the youngest of 8, lol. I don't know how my mom and dad did that.. one kid drove me nuts! (and is continuing to do so.. 17 yr. old that doesn't know to check his oil.. we've been through this, guy..)
