This year is off to a dandy start

So we are snowed in... The "light snow turning into 3-6 inches by 10 pm Saturday night" became 3 - 6 inches over night and still falling. The plow guy came down our street at after 1030. We live on private property not city streets so even when the regular street is plowed we may not be. Anyway we got a message that church was canceled today due to snow which is a mixed blessing. I was really looking forward to church this week after not attending last week. The girls however weren't going as they ALL have the sniffles and coughs.

I got my syllabus for the new semester. OH MY. This is all online but each test is a proctored exam. I called the closest base and basically got brushed off because I am not an AIR FORCE spouse. I will be calling again on Monday to speak to them again. Between the two classes I will be very busy between now and April 22. 20 weekly exams, 2 case presentations, 1 research paper, 1 midterm and 2 final exams. So this equates ONE busy mama. After 14 years of being out of college and having 5 kids and 2 extras in the house, this semesters scares me a little bit. I have to locate a testing proctor site if the base doesn't work out, which I may have done through one of the local community colleges. My books still have to get here which hopefully they will be by Monday or Tuesday.

We are having movie night with the kids tonight, just quietly chilling out at home amongst all the snow, so far I think there is about 6-8 inches now.

Mission Statement


I would like our home to be clutter-free, inviting and peaceful. My goal is to decide which tasks I need to do or delegate each day so we can maintain a better, more organized lifestyle. My goals also include providing an environment where my children can learn to be productive and Godly people. I want my family and others to know that this house is one where they can be free to live simply, love deeply and laugh abundantly. I want to be able to invite friends over without having to clean up for three days beforehand.
