We’re going to get a whopper of a snowstorm overnight, yesssss! I am happy because the testing day we have for the kids (they are homeschooled but they take weekly tests with a group) is canceled. Usually, I am not happy– usually I want the testing day because the kids have worked hard over the week and I want to get the lessons out of the way. But this week I am flipping. I am starting a babysitting job at home, and my house, to put it lightly, is a DISASTROUS MESS. lol! I need to clean and organize before the troops come marching in. So… I am relieved.
We were thankfully not hit with the ice that ravaged New England over the weekend, but we may get ice tomorrow. We’ll see. I jusy wish winter weather would COME. You know, like, SNOW! Enough of the rain and ice! :-p This is New York, not Virginia….


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
