Join me in my search for the skinny me, while trying to learn to dance in rain and juggling motherhood, homeschooling, wifedom and many, many other issues!

Earth Hour
Did you or are you taking part. You still got time. :))
Hey Mich - we did ours last night ( the joys of being the one of the first country in the world to greet each new day). We had fun - & apart from a couple of lights to stitch by extended it to 3 1/2 hours, no even turning the computers back on before bedtime....*gasp*! I did the math this morning - pretty amazing!
We tried it, but with a DH who said, "that's a nice idea, but I'm gonna watch the hockey game," we didn't last the whole time. Figuring this might happen, I decided to show the kids some things about how to do things without electricity. We lit candles and talked about how people arranged their day before electric light was available-- talked about doing all you can during daylight and not sleeping past dawn because you lose sunlight time. Talked about what people did to entertain themselves. Talked about winding clocks and not having cordless phones :) It was good, if not entirely what everyone else was doing.
Me... I turned on the lights... I have no desire to live in a cave without electricity... and won't practice doing so even for an hour... Sorry... on this point we'll have to disagree.
I'm a Stay at home mom (SAHM), who should be melting glass, and lives day to day and beyond as well as operating as mom's taxi to my two stunning boys. LOL I'm with my kids 24/7 and I love it, okay, not all the time. My blog is here to remind me of all the good and bad times as well as the UGLY!! The people who cross my path and share my journey. Enjoy!! Right now I'm learning to dance in the rain.
