BRRRRRRR!

Today is day 3 of no school for the kids because of the weather. We don't have that much snow it's just the cold. I woke up today and it's about -20 or so outside. (without windchill). I looked out the window and you can see the ice forming on the INSIDE of the windows! The cats won't go outside, I don't know how long they can hold it! The kids want to go outside and think I'm crazy when I tell them that their fingers and body parts can actually freeze and have to be cut off. They think I'm exaggerating, I'M NOT! I slept in my sweats last night, I even had on socks and a sweat shirt with a hood over my head. That is just not like me. Usually it's the less the best. Yes, we have a heater but it just can't seem to keep the chill out of the air. It's weird.

Today we are staying home AGAIN! I don't know how much more the kids can take. I'm going to girls night out tonight at least I can rest up and maybe not kill them this weekend.

Amen! I am sitting in my office and it's FREEZING! I kept a fire in the fireplace all day yesterday and it did keep the chill out of the air, but last night we both bundled up for sleeping. You know it's bad when you think about braving the cold to go to Walmart because the store might actually be warmer than your house!
See you tonight. I won't be at the pre-dinner (budgetary restrictions for the next 5 months), but I will be at the event. I'll be the one in a full on snowsuit and eskimo boots.

That happened here a few weeks ago. I had never seen ice on the inside of windows before. Just keep reminding yourself - at least it won't be 120 this summer!!!

I will be thinking warm thoughts all day just for you.

We got ice on the inside of our windows too! Really strange. We are beyond cabin fever!! And, we are sharing it with a neighbor's kid. He's usually in the before and after school program, but now he is hanging out with us! I should make some of those cinnamon rolls!!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
