I woke up this morning to utter silence…We live right off of a main road and one house down from an intersection, so usually there are always cars going by. This morning there were none. Last night about 5pm it started raining,,freezing rain. This morning, to no surprise, everything was completely iced over. Things are just now starting to thaw and the rain has changed to regular old rain. I rather enjoy storms like this. They don’t happen very often around here,, maybe once a year. While everyone else is dreading the ice and snow,, secretly I get a little excited and hope for it (-:

A Sad Goodbye

So I have to say farewell, after all these years to a faithfull appliance. Our microwave finally gave up the ghost the other day. Very unexpectedly. Dinner time is not a good time for a microwave to quit, especially when you have food to thaw. Sure you can use the oven, but that’s just awkward and takes too long. But I must say, the thing lasted us a little over 9 years. We bought when we got married and it’s been very faithfull, even after several moves. I googled White-Westinghouse, but it seems they do not make microwaves anymore, so I will probably just have to buy an Emerson. Seems that’s the only brand sold in stores around here now.
Well, farewell my micro-friend!

End the Chaos!

I’ve decided to end the chaos. I’ve made that decision many times before, but this time will be different! As a stay at home-trying to work-at-home mom with 3 boys (4 if you want to count daddy. hehe) ages 6, almost 3, and 3 months, it can be very difficult, at least for me, to ward off chaos and keep it away. But I know it can be done! There are moms out there,, I know some personally,, That are able to keep a spotless home, homeschool, and have a home business, all at the same time. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true! So I’m embarking on a mission to do this for the sake of my sanity, and my family!

Here are my goals for one month. I will start on these goals officially on Monday, since I will be trying to crash clean for my sons 3rd birthday party and I’ll be gone all weekend. But I will list these goals now and hopefully I’ll be ready to take on this adventure this time with no turning back!

My problem is, that there are so many things and ideas running through my head and so many things that need to be done and things that I want to do. So I try to impliment these things all at once, but it gets too overwhelming, so I end up crashing and burning. So I’m going to list my goals, but then I’m only going to take a few at a time each month. So here they are for this month….

Get up by 7:30 am each week day
Study Bible every morning
Prayer time every morning
Add one Fly Lady babystep each day

Now of course I’ll be trying to work on my homemade candles business and doing homeschooling with my oldest every day, but I do have goals that I need to set for those too in order to do them better and more consistantly, but I’m not going to officially start on those untill January.

So here we go. I’ll keep the updates coming and we’ll see how this thing goes!
