FOG
There is just one word to describe today....fog! The kids were supposed to have an early out from school today, but because of the dense fog they changed it and had a two hour late start instead. When it was time for the kids to get ready to go I was quite surprised to see how dense the fog was, and that they hadn't cancelled like some other area schools. The good daycare provider that I am I packed the kids up and sloooowly made the way to the school. We made it safely thankfully, but got home to discover that someone had an accident on the corner by our house. When we pulled into our driveway it looked like it had just happened...the two drivers meeting and talking, so I took Miss M and walked over to make sure everyone was ok and see if they needed any help. It turns out that one of the drivers was one of the local preschool teachers, one that I have known from the church I used to attend with my parents when I was still in jr high/high school. Everyone was fine, it was all cosmetic damage and a blown tire on the preschool teacher's car. The wrecker came and they put the spare tire on her car and she is now off to the school.
It was actually a nice little lesson for Miss M...she and her brother seemed to be afraid of police men and would yell if they saw a police car. While waiting for the wrecker to come this police officer got down on Miss M's level and talked to her, asked her who it was on her hat and when he was leaving made it a point to say goodbye to her too! After we got inside I told her how proud I was of her and we had a nice little talk about how the police men are there to help and how he helped the preschool teacher, we don't have to be afraid of them.
I have to say though, that I am VERY thankful that I was not the one involved in the accident! Although it could very easily have been...this fog is just crazy today...you really can't see much more than a half a block or so ahead of you. I will have to try to take some pictures to see if I can capture just how foggy it really is. It's crazy!

I'm Crazy!
I decided that my schedule just wasn't full enough! I am now officially a piano student again. I have lessons Tuesday nights with one of the girls from church. I had my first lesson this week and it went pretty well concidering that I haven't played in about three years!
I also started a new counted cross stitch project. I bought a Precious Moments pattern book on ebay and when I saw that it was C's birthday (Pastor's wife) and she collects Precious Moments, but has commented that she doesn't have enough space for the actual things themselves so I thought this would be a good gift for her birthday. It is going pretty quickly, I have stitched an ice cream cone and a hand and got a start on the shirt. It has big blocks of color, no switching colors every couple of stitches, so that helps. I am really enjoying stitching it, unlike the one I am stitching for my brother in law. That one has soooo many color changes! Good thing I have until July to finish it!
The sun is finally out today! I think I must have a solar battery! I get really tired and depressed when it is gray and dark out! I can't wait until Spring! Better yet, Summer!
Guess I don't know much yet, live has been pretty quiet.
Laters!

Lots of fun!~
Today has been a good day! I started the morning by sleeping in, after practice last night and then getting a phone call from the friend of ours who just lost her husband, I just couldn't get out of bed, I was just too tired!
Monster's Mom told me that she didn't have to go back to work after Monster's Dr. appointment at ten! That means that after Mr C and Miss M leave at 4/4:30 I will be done!!!
We are going to run to church and clean the mouse in K's computer there as he says that it has gotten pretty bad and hopefully catch Pastor to ask him a couple questions and then it is off to the T family's house again for a birthday supper and games for Little B! It definately won't be such a late night tonight though, they have a basketball tournament for J tomorrow and they have to leave before 6 am to get there on time! I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow!!! Then my big plans for the day are to clean the house, do my Sunday School, and maybe meet with Pastor and C to scan some pictures for their son's Awana counsel time on his trip to Brazil.
We took Miss M out for Chinese today, K only worked a half day, and we thought why not since it was just the three of us. She ate really well! She was spoiled by one of the waitresses too! She left the onions out on the side of her wonton soup, the sweet and sour sauce on the side of her sweet and sour chicken, gave her an extra fortune cookie, and some extra take out boxes. She kept calling Miss M a little princess and told her that she looked like the next Miss America! Miss M just LOVED it!
Hope that everyone has a great weekend!
Big hugs!

Sleepy!
Pretty quiet day around here so far. The girls played nicely so I just let them play for as long as they were getting along. I had them help me make the pigs in a blanket and then we watched a bit of tv as they were cooking.
Last night was the last night of the Prophecy Conference and we had a good time visiting afterwards. After we left the church we headed over to the T families' house as B needed K's help with a project that he is working on. L made chili and fed us since K was out there to help. We finally headed home around midnight. I gave up on the idea of going to the Fitness Center this morning and went back to sleep after K left.
Tonight is the first of two talent nights at Awana. One of the girls in my group wants to play her saxaphone, Amazing Grace is the song she picked, I believe. I am nervous for her as she is more of a shy quiet girl, but I am excited and sure that she will do wonderfully well!
The girls are napping so I think I am going to go and try and close my eyes and relax for a bit while I have the chance.
Big hugs!

http://kevan.org/johari?name=Ravenmad Ok since I can't figure out how to post this the correct way to make it a link, I will try it this way. Just a little something that looked like fun so I decided to try it!

Am I Coming or Going???
Yawn...I am so tired!! This week is a busy one for us, of course we made it a little worse Friday night, or should I say Saturday morning, but it was just so much fun!
Friday was K's birthday and we started the night out by going over to my Mom's for supper. We got a phone call just before we left to go there from LT saying that the cousins they had invited over for games for the evening had cancelled and asking if we would like to go over after we were finished at Mom's. We agreed to go and left Mom's around 8 to head over to their place. We looked at counted cross stitch patterns, some music to pick out a song for me to sing in April because BT is going to play the piano for me, and then played a game of Tribond and almost a whole game of Beyond Balderdash. It was great fun! We finally headed home at 3 Saturday morning!!!
We got up around 8 or 8:30 Saturday morning, and I grabbed a shower and worked on my Sunday School while K ran up town for something and grabbed some lunch from the Chinese restaurant. We ended up having to make a quick stop at the Dollar Store and Fareway (since the Dollar Store didn't have any pretzel sticks) so we could make a snack for Sunday School the next morning. We had the story about the good shepherd and so we made little lambs out of marshmallows and pretzel sticks afterwards. We got to church around 3 so K could work on some things on the computer and I knitted while we waited for the man who is doing our special meetings to call so he could come in to church and K could get him set up with his computer for the power point that he had on the topic he was speaking on that night. He called around 3:30 and came in to church around 4 and after getting things set we visited with him until people started arriving for the Prophecy Conference at 6. LBT asked if we could go back out to their house after the meetings that night, but we all decided that we needed some sleep!
Sunday morning we had to get to church early for K to get this guy set up with the computer again, so I went to bed as soon as we got home Saturday night! After the morning service LT asked what we were doing for lunch and we ended up going out with them for a breakfast buffet and then going out to their house for games after we had changed and let the dogs out! JT helped me put the sandwiches together that we had to bring for the potluck after the evening service that night and we played most of a game of Trivial Pursuit. Not without the manditory Mt Dew and M&Ms and Rolos to go along with it though! I was WIRED Sunday night, and to prove it woke up EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR that night! I was dragging Monday! Thankfully Monday was already established as pajama day so we spent the day hanging out and watching movies all cuddled up in our pjs. Of course a bit was lost for me as I had already gone out, worked out at the Fitness Center and gotten a shower before changing back into my pjs for the lounging. But the kids enjoyed it so that's what counts!
We had to be at church early again last night, we were there around 6:15 for the meetings at 7, and I practiced piano while K got some things ready and then got the man set up with the computer again. The meetings were really good, once again, I just can't seem to write fast enough to keep up with the notes! I am learning alot though!
Today I am finishing up a couple loads of laundry that I just didn't get finished last night ( soooo very thankful that Mr. C is back in school today!!! It is just harder to get things done around here when he is bored. Thursday and Friday went pretty well, but yesterday he just didn't know what to do with himself...got into trouble and took more supervising than normal. He needs the structure of school. And in the summer I can take them out to the park, or in the yard and let him run off the energy, but now it's hard when they don't bring boots or snowpants, or even hats for that matter! But that's a whole other post lol!) The last of the meetings in the Prophecy Conference is tonight, and then tomorrow is talent night at Awana. Thursday brings Prayer Meeting and Worship Team practice after that. I think I will be ready to crash Friday night!

Bored again!
Well, as you can see I got bored again and changed the look of my blog. I am enjoying playing with the different looks now that I have figured out how to work with them all.
I got the Precious Moments counted cross stitch pattern book that I won on ebay in the mail today. I love the patterns in it, I am going to have a hard time choosing what to stitch first....well, first I have to finish the one I am working on for my brother in laws wedding, so I guess there is plenty of time to decide. Maybe that is what sparked my Precious Moments look here too.
Little C is here today so his Mom could go and get her cast off. Another family from church came for a visit today too. K wants little T used to other kids and people as he is clingy to Mom and Dad. He did really good today, and I told her that we should schedule another visit, start off slowly, having her here and she and I can talk while he plays to start off getting him used to it before just leaving him.
We are going to go to have supper with Mom tonight for K's birthday. It will probably be an early night, it will probably be the last for the next week or so! Hopefully I can sleep in in the morning too. Hopefully I can get some knitting or stitching time in too.
Well, I need to make a couple phone calls, so I guess that is it for now.
Big hugs!!!
