I'm a mom too!

. Whew!! We accomplished a lot in the month of February. We worked on our house every spare minute of the day. Feb. 1-  Drove 40 miles to pick up this desk I found off the local swap site.  This is for M's craft room, walk in closet.  I am so excited to have the mess contained!  Feb. 2-  M's room was pained in January. Benjamin Moore, Fairytale Blue.  Egress window trim being finished. Feb. 3- Groundwork being laid for extra outlets. Feb. 4- Oh no!  Both girls have influenza!  With the flu shot though it was pretty mild.  This teacher took advantage of the sick days to catch up on laundry! Feb. 5- Hubby is preparing to take over since I had to go do conferences.  I think he was a little afraid of getting sick himeself.  What do you think? Feb. 6-  Hubby was more productive on his sick day.  Old desk spray pained and conduit outlets finished. Feb. 6 Feb. 7- Shaw caramel carpet in...

July 1 to me is like January 1 for many.  It is always the time a year I try to take control of something that bothers me to get it in place for the upcoming school year and my crazy (signed J up for soccer last night) soccer, dance, softball, piano, church, school schedule!  I have tried fly lady and failed many, many times.  I found Nony, read this book and July 1 I begin!!  Anyone care to join me???? If so download Nony's book from my affiliate link here>  Click here to view more details .  If you want to join me in a Facebook accountability for the month of July please comment.  If you find this mid July you can really jump in.  We will basically be working on one habit the whole month!!!  What a concept, make it a habit for a whole month before adding more to your plate.  I am not gonna give away what that habit is but my hubby is gonna love me!!! (Hint: it is something he normally does.)  You have to read the book ...

 This week started out a little rough.  Last Sunday M tried to cram all her homework into Sunday night and then when I went to sign her January reading log (which I totally trust her with) I was appalled by the lack of minutes.  There was a meltdown and anyone with a 9 year old probably knows, it wasn't pretty so we came up with this contract and had a good rest of the week. Phew! J on Reading Eggs.  I discovered Reading Eggs on Mrs. Willis' blog  so I signed up fro my 30 day trial.  I am loving it!!!! I discovered that J knows her letters and sounds but cannot hear what things start with.  She also has trouble remembering things in sequence so this probably goes hand in hand.  Not a huge problem, she's three, but good info to have.  This is what I woke up to.  J playing with her Kindle, watching the snow come down.  We had a very pretty snow this weekend and ended up with 8-9 inches of heavy white snow.  ...
