snow day

Since I have 2 kids in public school, I'm a slave to the schedule.  Which means, when they close for weather my homeschooled kids don't do any schoolwork.

Last Friday and again today we had school cancelled for the weather.  This throws off my normal groove, even when we're on a winter break from lessons.  I have to completely restructure my day to get things done, and triple the time it takes to do things because of added interruptions for questions and to break up fights.  Ah so goes the life of a mom with a bunch of kids.

I did, however, get to pause long enough for Missa to use my crappy iPhone to take a quick picture of me sporting my latest baby bump.  Enjoy it folks, because I do not like being in front of the camera.  I know it is slightly fuzzy, Preston was trying to climb her so that he could snuggle his "babwit sista" as he'd say (that's toddler for favorite sister if you don't speak this fun language).

Yup, there is totally a baby in there.  Now we wait for the kicking to start, darn that anterior placenta that I'm rocking this time around.  I'm still 5lbs below the weight I started at, but that shouldn't last too much longer now that I'm starting to look like there's a baby in there instead of looking like I ate one too many pieces of pie.
