Plans

Quite honestly I have today planned out.

Kids off to school
Good, hard workout for myself
Drop Smiley off at a friends house
Dental appointment for myself
Pick Smiley up
Quick stop at the grocery store
Home for lunch
Read a few books
Put Smiley down for a nap
Prime some trim ~ around a door and two windows
Clean the house and work on laundry
Listen to the sound of the mood of the house change as Sassy and Action blow in from school
Homework
Have one of Sassy's friends come over for the evening to help her Dad out
Church for Sassy and Action
Dinner
Hang out/family time ~ probably with American Idol on in the background.
Bath night for Smiley
Chat with Sassy's friend's dad
Prayers
Get Sassy, Action and Smiley ready for and settled in bed
Put my feet up and relax.

But I received a phone call at 6am and my plans kind of went right out the window.

The phone call was from the kids' school.

Today is a SNOW DAY!


This will be the first snow day since Sassy started going to preschool 7 years ago.  (When I was growing up it seemed we had at least a couple per season)

The kids are still asleep and they will be beyond EXCITED to hear the news.

Me, well I will need to adjust my schedule and my plans for the day.

I guess a snow day is a small reminder to me from God, that I am not in charge.  He is truly in charge.

Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans of the human heart,
but it is the decision of the LORD that endures.


update....
The kids were/are excited 
their typical cereal breakfast turned into french toast and strawberries 
and now I am savoring the laughter and giggles as they play together...nicely for now anyway :)

Oh, and what are they playing you ask?

School, of course!

It's official


I'm giving myself a SNOWDAY!

(I know, we are only expected to get 5-9" ~ nothing compared to MANY of you out there in blog land, but it's a nice excuse to skip the Health Club today)

Meaning....

The kids just left for school.

The coffee is brewing.

and now it's time to:

clean up after our Superbowl get together from yesterday (thinking I should have soaked these babies last night, but was too tired).

and

since it's monday.....

LAUNDRY!


With a little help from this one ~ I'm sure:


Oh, and one more thing:  since I'm not going to the health club today would it be wrong to eat this for breakfast with my coffee?


a chocolate mint cupcake with swiss meringue buttercream from Marzipan's blog ~ made these yesterday and have one word for them ~YUM


What are you doing today?
