SNOW DAY!!!!!!

            We are having a snow day at the Shier Academy!  Unbelievable, I know.  My kids cannot believe it and I am sure Zack would say, so not fair!  He never got snow days at the Shier Academy.  Maybe I am mellowing with age.  haha!   The snow is beautiful of course and everything seems more quiet and restful and slow.  I love it!   I love the way it makes everything you see everyday look totally different.  I love that it makes me slow down and drive much more carefully and with extra caution.  I love that my kids run out to play in the snow and get all wet and miserable and then want to come in and drop their stuff everywhere and have some hot cocoa (which reminds me, I need to go get some more cocoa mix today :o)  I love it when they build snowmen.  Some of my favorite pictures from over the years are the ones of the snowy days!    

  so this is mom & me from 2008!  Lotta snow that time, too much for mom's liking!

                       I can't remember what year this was.... maybe '06?

               This was 2003, I know because Tessa couldn't walk yet!

                                      Our beautiful PiperJayne!

                                                      2005!

         Happy Tessa (before!) & sad Tessa (after & too cold & wet!)
         
              According to the weathermen and women, we will be getting the REAL snow tomorrow!  HA!  If all goes as they are predicting, it will be just right.... several days of rest and then~ back to schedules and routines.  Just enough and not too much for me.
            I think I am going to get all the ornaments off of our Christmas tree today oorrrrr maybe tomorrow.  The kids want to play board games today.  I am going to get some exercise and maybe move another bookcase today.  I am really liking this new arrangement for my computer desk.  Changes the whole perspective of the room.  I am still interrupted on average, every three minutes.  No wonder I go on strike from the computer so often these days.  I will just have to implement my signage idea.  I was telling my sister yesterday that I would make a reversible sign~  WORKING, do NOT interrupt / AVAILABLE, please talk to me
            We shall see.  Nevertheless, it is time to go be productive.  And so I shall!  Enjoy each breath!   Each one is a gift!!
