Hmmmm....
someone should make "Prayer Chocolate" Big flat bar, lots of little squares, a cross on each one, and you are required to silently say a prayer as you let it melt in you mouth! The women of the world would increase their praying BIG TIME wouldn't you say?

great idea faith! you develop it and market it, and i will support you anyway i can!!

 

[faithmom]

Supporting me in it would include eating it and praying you know.....

of course!

today I am truly a SAHM! The schools are closed due to snow and ice....the boys are in their super hero costumes tearing up the place!

 

[faithmom]

Cuhoool!

They don't cancell here unless we have -60 below windchill...then only the busses get cancelled.

OR ALL streets and roads are officially shut down by our Department of transportation (only happened once in 1997).

Parents here get in an uproar if the schools don't stay open because most of them have 4 wheel drive and can get to work.

The public schools stated, "if children have a parent who is available at home, it is at the familie's discression if they would like to have the child counted as absent for the day in challenging weather. School will only be cancelled in the most dire of weather."

The private schools simply said they follow the public school's lead on if school should be closed.

They did cancell (early discharge) for a tornado warning at our own school last spring.

wow!

And yes, we did have a -61 below windchill once back quite a few years ago. The busses are made better now than years ago, but those big open fuel lines freeze up at that point.

 

[marezee]

brrrrrrrrrrrrr! I don't believe I've ever been in weather that cold!!

 

[faithmom]

Keep in mind, that is wind chill factor, and we really don't have much to stop wind here.

what are you SAHMs up to today? I have to run to get milk....other than that...it's a SAH day! My son Nick had school today. He didn't want to go. He had only been going to kindegarten for 3 months and already he is giving me a hard time about going to school.

 

[faithmom]

Happy St. Nicholas day, a good reminder that it is a season of giving...a time to remember those in need, and a time to teach our children the value of giving over getting.

Ringing my bell loudly today!

 

[marezee]

thanks faith! Glory to God and giving to the needy this Christmas!

My sons are going to go through their toys this weekend and gather items to give to charity.

I LOVE being a sahm. I didn't at first though! Boy was it tough to get used to it for me. Now I love it. I was a social worker for about 10 years and really enjoyed my job. I like being involved with people on a social level too. So.... I joined a moms group. We have play dates and get together twice a month for meetings and I've made soem wonderful friends and so has my son. He's 2 btw. It's been good for both of us. I am also a volunteer at my church and that gives me an "outside" sense of accomplishment (if that tmakes sense)

 

[faithmom]

Welcome C! (what do you go by for short on the threads, or do you go full name?)

 

[marezee]
