Today there is a south wind blowing but it's making the temp feel like -30 out there. Not fun for sending kids to play so I guess we'll have to begin the process of cleaning up after Christmas Festivities and try to get some of our routines back before the New Year hits. We took a rather long break prior to Christmas in order to prepare for the Church concert and other thing, but now with my due date anywhere from April to June depending on what happens and how many are in there... plus Josh's grad to plan, we need to get things done earlier and work hard. I usually take January and February anyway and push the school, longer hours, harder at it, so that while the kids are not playing outside due to the cold and dark hours, we work hard inside and once the warmer weather arrives, they can then slack off on the books abit and enjoy fresh air.
Right now, my oldest boys are still in bed! Josh doesn't usually sleep in so late, but we stayed up last night and he does have to work at 2pm. All the younger ones are up though and Derk's decided to make pancakes for breakfast so he's at it in the kitchen. I am pretty sore still from that shopping trip, but at least I can move! So I'm going to work on making up some charts for the kids so that we can do flylady's system a bit better this year. We have renovations that need finishing too so we've got a long way to go in the next 5 months, but with baby steps and doing things 15 min at a time or even an hour or two (renovations or other projects) we will make it!
Well... here I go... wish us luck!
My timer is my friend in 2010.... now I just have to get a new one lol. The microwave or oven is not convenient.
