Ice Storm

Holy Cow it is crazy out there. Our screens are covered in ice, as soon as the sleet hits the screen it freezes, you can look at the road and its all shinny and its all ice! We went grocery shopping last night and man am I glad. Power went out a few times this morning. No school - Of Course! Chase woke up early and thought he was late for school and since he has been threatened with detention if Will and him are late again he jumped up and started getting ready. He said he ran into walls a couple of times he was in such a rush, and then he came downstairs and realized that no one was awake, then the power went out and that really freaked him out. When I woke up Will and him were in his room laying on the floor reading and they were freaked out about the power going out. Lets see how long this lasts.

Snow Day

This is really a trying time! Another Freakin Snow Day! Ok so last week they went for three days, the week before they went for two days, and today is only Tuesday and they are home again. I love my kids I do but at least in the summer they can go outside and play. They have stayed longer outside than on the first day, but the little guy can't hang for that long outside. And of course they make a huge mess and don't clean up after themselves..

New Church

We are looking at other church's in the area. I was doing the study on Every woman's marriage, in one part the lady was telling her husband about how he should be more "holy" than he is and that he should take more of an active role in their spritual life. His reply was that he has tried but she hasn't let him, because it wasn't what she wanted and that she needed to release that part to him. That the Lord intended the Husband to be the leader and that all though it may be hard for us women to step aside and let our Husbands do this because we wear so many hats, its just easier for us to step in and take the reigns. But that isn't the way God intended it. Maybe we as women have enough jobs. Mother's, Wife's, Daughter's, Aunt's, Book Keeper, Secretaries, Referee, Mediator, Taxi, Negotiator, Plaintiff's, Defendants, Teachers, Students, Mentors and I can go on and on. We don't need to add Spritual Leader to it, maybe for other women but our husbands need to be that person and we need to let them. Well after I red this I was talking to Steve about how I was unhappy with our current church and he said almost the same thing that the Guy in the book said. So I decided to do what God intended me to do - allow my husband to lead me. Currently that has been to a Lutheran Church, parts of it I love! and Parts of it don't hate but I don't understand so I'm not sure I agree with them or not. Either way this is where my husband is leading me and I know he has our best interest at heart, so I am going to do something I normally don't do. Step aside and let someone else take care of it. As hard as that is for me, a sense of relief also comes over me that. I'm doing my part as a Christian Wife

Injury

It's never a dull moment in the Boyer house. We came home and started cleaning up, we had been out with Barbra (She had us drive 45 mins, to a church she used to go to then wouldn't get out to go inside so we turned around and went home) Were making dinner and relized that the boys didn't clean up the basement so we were having issues getting them down there and clean it. Will is coming down the steps and starts bleeding all over. He was coming down and stepped on a broken piece of his desk. It was a staple that was really big, its a puncture wound. So I'm putting pressure on it, all the kids run over, Barbra is complaing that Netflicks isn't working, and my carpet has blood. We were able to get it to stop bleeding, went online and found out how to clean it, dab the spot with an absorbant cloth then get detergent and scrub it with a toothbrush (I just used a cloth) then put amonia on it. Band aid on it and back to cleaning up the basement. aaahhhh and that was a good night :)

Will's Contacts

Will has now been given the green light on his contacts. He is so hard on the glasses, he mends them, pushes them on his face so hard that they are angled from the bottom up. We told him that he had to get plastic frames that he wouldn't do that too or he could get contacts. At first he was resistant so we told him that's fine we will get you different frames. He refused it so he went for his check up and wore them for 4 hours the first couple days then 6 now 8, as long as everything goes ok for the next week, he will get his prescription and that's that. He put his contacts in the other day, then Steve took him to get a hair cut and he looked so much older. He's not my little man with a lisp and glasses. He looks so much older now........

Mom's Night Out

Last night was Mom's night out for my mom's group. It was the first time I have been out by myself since we moved here. We went bowling and then me and Jen went to Applebee's and hung out. I had one beer while we were bowling and I had half of a margarita at Applebee's, it was so strong! I couldn't finish it. Jenn goes to the church we are going to try this weekend, it will be nice to have some one you know there. I bowled 84 the first time and in the 60's the next time. And that is a good game for me! We had fun. It was so nice to relax and be around other women, there was no pressure or time limit to do anything. We just talked and hung out and it was great! I am so glad I went especially since the kids school was cancelled again! This was the 3rd day this week!

Watching Balls of Fury with my Hubby and loving spending time with him. We have been talking about him going back into the military as active duty, moving back to Washington and what would it be like and just the whole situation. Sitting here with him makes me think that I enjoy him more than I enjoy money or the military. I have a wonderful husband! Situations are hard. As long as we stick together we will make it through anything, sshhhh we have 5 kids, a mother in law, military, work, and we do awesome! Just thinking outloud :)
