ahhhhh!!

seems like it’s harder to get back to normal… got some great reviews coming up!

We are in the midst of a snow day – AGAIN!
ok, this is getting tiring, it’s not even winter yet and we are on our 3rd or 4th home bound snow day! It’s really nice to have the kids out of school, BUT it’s also nice to have a schedule and of course there are only two more days til school is out for the Christmas break and I need time to organize! Yesterday was girl2004′s Christmas pageant during the time I normally have to do things and collect my thoughts. Here’s my abbreviated list:

**menu
**schedule: crafts, Advent activities
**laundry so I don’t have to do it til next week
**some homeschooling lessons with hooked on phonics and susan bauer’s book, working on handwriting for girl2004

not to mention my favorite things to do, products to test and books to read

Dear Blog,
I miss you dearly, I’ve been busy with other projects and have neglected you lately, don’t worry, you’re back in my heart and my thoughts.
I’ll be back soon, promise
kisses Delphine

I want to look into Zillow.com for realestate, looks interesting.

when I’m feeling down I’ll sit down and write a letter to the future and cheer myself up imagining my kids at that time.

Get started on seeing more of the new 7 wonders of the world, so far I’ve been to Chichen Itza and Christ the Redeemer new7wonders.com

*** What’s the longest you’ve ever waited in line?

I don’t know but I remember the emotions, I am pretty sure I waited the longest in line with my mother when I was a child. I remember Department stores like macy’s and that smell of women who’d been in their pantyhose too long all around me, remember I was a shorty back then. eeewwww Waiting forever myself and the other children would lay down on dirty carpets, some falling asleep some crying.

*** It’s been said that, “The best things in life are free.” Do you think this is true? Why or why not?

Yes, I think that is true, you really can’t buy the best things in life, family is something you create and maintain. Another thing is nature, sunsets and long walks are enjoyed by young and old.

*** If you could go back in time and re-live one day in your life, which day would you choose and why?

This is a toughie… I have several days like this and I’d have to say it would be the day before boy2001 was born.

I would have lived that day as if it were my last, I know that sounds bad, but having your first child completely changes your life so quickly from one minute to the next (admittedly I’ve had easy pregnancies and childbirths) that I wish I’d taken some more me time before hand. Although you may love the experience the second and third time around you will have other children at home and feel more directional pulls. that day before the first child is crucial.

Total spa day, full body massage, haircut, mani/pedi. I was so concerned with saving up because I’d be a SAHM I didn’t treat myself well… now when I look at the pictures of the ABSOLUTE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE with boy2001 I see my furry eye brows and non-manicured hands.

Thanks to the Manic Monday Meme for this great Meme
