Empty Nest Setting in for this Stay at home MOM?

This is my youngest son who is 4 1/2 years old. As you can tell he is quite the character. I was cleaning out cabinets and asked him to throw this box away for MOM and he walked around all night with this on his head. Proud Daddy moment especially if you zoom in to see what type of box it is! Yes, this MOM is going to keep this one for a great high school graduation picture. lol

Today, me and Brenden loaded up for about our weekly trip to town and living in the boonies we have to drive 30 miles one way to the nearest Walmart. We do have a grocery store in our town but we only use that for emergencies due to being a small town the prices are high and with a family of 9 we can't just shop there full time so I love Aldi. I love, love, love Aldi because the money I can save there is outrageous. I can get a heaping cart full of food there for over half I would spend at Walmart. My husband made fun of me for shopping there and he thinks he is too "good" for off brands when I first met him but he sure likes it now. Some of the off brands there are way better then name brand or maybe this MOM is just used to it. I know I am getting off the subject.

So on the way home from town as Brenden was back there jamming to his fav song "Ice Ice Baby" I got to thinking that in a year and a half I will officially be an empty nester during the school year. WOW, where has the time went. I also got to thinking that in almost 15 years (minus 6 months of my 2nd oldest son starting kindergarten and the birth of our daughter together happening) that I have NOT had a kid home through the day with mom but only 6 months in 15 years...WOW.... I have always had a little one with me at home or going shopping with me. How will this mom handle that? I know Brenden is a momma's boy big time and he is my right hand man. We have so much fun in the car rides and shopping (ok, not today when I looked up and he was trying to get out the store doors) but most of the time we have great times jamming in the car and just talking. How will I handle getting in the car without a little one to get ready to go..making sure they are strapped in and having someone to chat with or hold their little hand while we walk in to the parking lot and NO ONE to spoil in the stores since he is being so good. Have you ever had that moment where your child isn't with you and you are driving in peace and quiet and your heart stops & you turn around thinking "Oh my...where is ..........."? (in my case would be Brenden) you think you have left him at home or the store. If not, maybe all these kids are making me senile but I know if he is at his grandmas and i go to town alone I can immediately get startled looking for him before realizing where he actually is. This is how bad this empty nest mom is going to be. Thankfully, my husband agreed to let me quit work and raise our children so this is the only child that I have been with since they day he entered our world so I think it is going to be a major change. Another good thing is he was a middle of August baby so he missed the cut off date to start kindergarten this year by 15 days...yaaa, a whole another year of a few hours of preschool 4 days a week.  Also, he is a boy and could use that extra year to expand his intellectual side a bit more but what in the world am I going to do when he is in kindergarten? I am too old to have another one...lol...nor, do I want too so will try to find that perfect work from outside my home during school hours. Being I am an RN, I would love to get a school nurse job but in our school once they get in there they never leave so let's hope within the next year and a half they will.

I have seen jobs open up that I would LOVE to have, several of them but I had a newborn or no one to watch my kids so I had to let those jobs go. When I finally CAN get a job they won't be available for nothing. Isn't that how life goes but in the mean time I have my work from home business that is doing very well. I banked $230 for just a couple hours of work from home last night and I LOVE it. This mom couldn't be happier finding a true legit business from home that is helping support my family without having to sacrifice my time with my kids. If anyone would be interested just let me know and  I have a business page on Facebook that I will give you the link too so you can get a hold of me. I would be happy to help you obtain your future financial freedom but in the mean time, I am going to enjoy every moment of this next year and a half that I have with my youngest and I am going to stop getting house cats/dogs to fill up my house on those lonely days! lol

Link to my Facebook business page and if you would go "like" it I would greatly appreciate it. It would make this MOM so happy, happy, happy!     https://www.facebook.com/momof7makingmoneyathome

My Valentine's Day gift is the GIFT that will keep on giving!

Hello guys! I haven't been on for awhile as I have been busy with Valentine's and doing my work from home job and making that money, money, money! Good thing too, as Valentines Day took a little chunk out of our wallet for GIFTS! I surprised hubby when he got home from work with the GIFTS that men love best! You got it, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries and shoot em up kill em men movies with wine. We had a great Valentines day. The kids all were excited that morning when they first got up all of them came down bearing GIFTS for mom and I gave them the gifts we got them all little box of chocolates. They also got movies rented from Redbox, McDonald's for supper, popcorn, cookies, candy and a sleep over upstairs in the girls room! The best GIFT the kids got me was staying upstairs doing their own thing while me and hubby had a great time eating, drinking wine and watching movies uninterrupted. A first for us!

The next day we drove 3 hours to pick my up Valentines day GIFT from hubby and there is her sweet little picture. He got me a tiny teacup Morkie and we named her Tiana (princess from "The Princess and the Frog) since we have a shorkie named "Belle" and a boxer names "Jasmine" (see the theme with Disney princesses in our home) This little girl will melt anyone's heart she weighs about 1 pount 8 oz and is the best GIFT ever (Well, at least she won't add inches to my behind like chocolate does) She was born on my husband's birthday so she is 2 1/2 months old. I bought her a handmade xxxs dress that she has on and it is a little too big for her. She is spoiled rotten and is like a newborn baby that if you put her in "time out" as we call it (with these tiny puppies their blood sugars can drop low if playing for too long without rest and we have to give her Kayro syrup twice a day and protein supplement three times a day) so we put her in our bathtub with her puppy pad and food & water and her little squeaks of a howl are pitiful and as soon as you pick her up she is happy, happy, happy! Has not been scared one bit...she goes up to our boxer and smacks at her and Jasmine (the boxer) is scared of her so Jasmine thinks she is smaller then she is and Tiana believes she is big and bad! She is so quick you walk through the house and those little legs are moving and you turn around and there she is under foot...so we have to be careful but today I got her puppy playpen in so she is in it with me in living room and still howling but settles down for awhile. Super smart puppy as she goes in puppy pads when you put her on them.  Any tips on Morkies would be helpful too if anyone has one of these adorable kids!

So as I sit here blogging and snuggling my sweet little GIFT I hope that you all got a lot of great gifts or at least the gift of having a romantic uninterrupted evening with your significant other. I am off now to go help people who are ready to go make some legit serious money from home! Have a wonderful beautiful day!

I would also like to ask you if you could please go to my business page on Facebook and "like" it for me. I am trying to obtain a goal of 100 people at least! Thanks a bunch and here is the link:

Valentine's Day with KIDS!

The day meant for couples in love is fast approaching! I have to shamefully admit that I normally plan in advance what I will be getting my husband but this year I procrastinated so I am know paying out the bootAY for expedited shipping! I hope you all didn't procrastinate. I have been so busy with the KIDS and appointments that time gets away from me and not to mention I live in the boonies so getting to a shopping center is at least 30 minutes one way so I plan those trips when we are down to the bare necessities in household goods!

My question to all you other parents who have children what do you do for them? I usually buy them all a box of chocolates for the day. I must admit my children are more excited for Valentine's day then we are as they have been working for over a week on our homemade gifts so that means time to clear off my refrigerator from all the hanging art work of the kids and make room for new! 

My plans for my husband includes, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolates, wine, movies and hopefully a quiet evening at home. With 7 kids in the house, it is hard to ever get any alone time in this house if it isn't the kids it is our 2 four legged children that are constantly sitting between us on the couch in the evenings. So this year, I am hoping to bribe them to their rooms with movies and popcorn to celebrate the day. We will see just how long it takes for a kid or KIDS normally to come asking mom for something that they think is a life threatening situation. So what do you do with your kids on Valentine's day?

So what does a stay at home MOM do anyways!

As some of you may know, I am a stay at home MOM of 7, if you don't, well I am and some days I feel really down about myself as I am not out in the "working" world! I have worked full time since I was 15 years old and let's just say that has been many, many, many years of working outside the home. (not to give this MOM's age away)  I quit work 4 1/2 years ago when our youngest was born and we decided it would make sense financially for me to stay at home then get day care for 7 kids. I loved being able to be a full time MOM to my youngest son as with the others I always went back to work. But there are days that I feel like I am not pulling my weight around here and that we are financially set back by me not working and I my self esteem takes a nose dive but then I realize that I have worked hard in my life to be able to be right where I am now. I have wonderful, beautiful, smart children that I can be waiting on them when they get home from school and not be completely exhausted from working 12 hour night shifts like I used to do. I am the one that they rely on at all times. My husband is active duty military and he works so hard for our family and our country but even when he is home on weekends the kids still run to me....even though I would like to have weekends off like he does I don't get that luxury but what I do get is priceless beyond measure. The hugs, the kisses, the excitement of the stories from school, the performances, dance recitals, ball games, the quality time of reading bedtime stories to them and tucking them in each night etc. Those are all the priceless things in life that money can not buy.

I have to tell myself when I am on my death bed that the only things that will matter at that time is God, my family and my friends. Not what I did in this life as a career. Sure I have a college degree and sometimes when someone asks me their "medical" questions..I always say "I'm not a nurse anymore!" That irritates my parents to no end because I am a nurse and much more. I am the maid, personal shopper, cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, secretary, accountant, referee, supporter, counselor, teacher, librarian. tutor, sports fan, nurse. I wear ALL these hats in my job as a stay at home MOM! 

Yes, today MOM got up and got 6 kids on the bus and 30 minutes later got #7 on the bus to preschool all ready for his Valentine's day party today. Then MOM got to go to the salon to get her hair styled with no kids running around the salon...today was MOM's day. Sure, I get my hair done every 6 weeks and my nails every 4 weeks. I wanted to quit doing this to save money for our family but every time I tell my husband I am going to quit those luxuries he tells me no and says "that is the only thing you do for yourself"  (insert your AWWWW's here ladies) yes, my husband is great and you know what he is RIGHT! MOM does need MOM time and I am going to quit feeling less of a person because I am not driving to a job to a health facility or a corporation because what I do........is a billion times harder then any of those jobs can be as you are 24/7 on call..no vacations, no weekends, no sick time because you are super MOM! So ladies, take some MOM time and go get those mani/pedi's, massages (if that is your thing..I am seriously considering one) hair done and sit back relax and let someone else wait on MOM! Cheers to the stay at home MOM's or DAD'S because we are what helps mold our children in to the responsible adults they will one day become and they won't know all the hard work you did at your outside job but they will know all you did as their MOM!

Grateful MOM following Langerhan's Cell Histocytosis diagnosis on my 3 month old son!

                         This is how big the area got from 3 weeks of age just looking like a tiny bruise and this is at 3 months later when we were diagnosed!


Today, like many days that I have to go in to town (30 minutes one way, yes, I live in BFE in the boonies) I have my youngest son, momma's boy & sidekick with me AKA: Brenden! He was #7 in our family and was a surprise when our first daughter together between my husband and I was only 8 months old. From the get go this little boy gave me gray hairs. I was working half a night shift at the hospital when I came home to bright red bleeding when I was 9-10 weeks along with him. Scared to death as I have NEVER had this happen in any of my other pregnancies I called the doctor and was basically informed if i was miscarrying nothing you can do about it at this stage but rest so that weekend I called in to work and laid in bed most the time. I bled off and on for 2 days. I remember my heart dropping to my stomach seeing that blood as even though he was a surprise I was already in love with him (I figured with hubby's track record of 4 girls prior that this one would be a girl too)  I had bought a home gender prediction kit just for fun to see if it would be accurate and since I was bleeding I had it there & just did it when the bleeding subsided in which it said we were having a girl again! Finally, I got a hold of a nurse that I had gotten friendly with during my pregnancy with our daughter the year before and talked her in to making the dr do a sonogram since I had not yet had a dr appt.  So the sonogram was scheduled & I was on pins and needles thinking we had lost our baby. Went in with the fullest bladder imaginable they started the sonogram and there was our little baby heart beating away and everything looking great! Whew, how relieved this MOM was to know our baby was still with us. The remainder of the pregnancy went great with no further bleeding other then the false labor we had a good month prior to his due date. Due to my advanced maternal age..ha ha...I was 36..jeesh..I had to have a genetics counseling with sonogram so we went and had it done. That morning we had finally agreed on our baby girl's name of Ava (yes, we just knew it was another girl due to my poor hubby's track record) and the ultrasound tech asked what we wanted...I said well, he has 4 girls at home so he wants a boy and I just wanted a healthy baby (though boys are easier..lol) and as soon as, I mean literally put the wand on my tummy there it was in all its glory (me having 2 boys before was positive I saw what she was seeing but I didn't say anything) cause she said to my husband "BOY, did you get lucky..It's a BOY!" Complete shock..my hubby never said a word almost all the way home..shell shock, I think so, and then it was back to the drawing board on names! We did a few days later do another sonogram to get it on DVD and it was confirmed we were having a little boy. He was due August 17th and we went in a couple times with contractions but no real dilation so we had our dr appt on August 17th (DUE DATE) just for him to get eviction orders for the following day! August 18, 2009 we welcomed our son together and hubby's first biological son in to the world weighing 8# 8 oz..my little porker out of them all.  Our family was now complete, yes, I had my 4 kids as I wanted that were biological but I also have three step daughters that are not considered step..they are MY daughters. The great thing was all four of my bio babies were born in the same hospital I was and ALL four born in the exact same labor room. How neat is that and with 3 of them I had the same nurse! I love small town hospitals!

We had a cancer scare when he was 3 months old. He had a bruise like area on the side of his neck at 2 weeks of age and I thought the car seat strap had pinched him but it kept getting bigger, raised, red and crusty. Took to our local dr to be told it was a healing heamangioma for weeks and it wasn't getting better so I demanded a dermatology appt. Thank God, I had the instincts to know as a MOM and a nurse that something wasn't right. Of course, at the beginning they told us it was something else, can't remember what that was but we went back in 2 weeks and it was still the same so the dr biopsied it. Then two days before Thanksgiving as we plan to celebrate with family the doctor himself called me early evening time frame to inform me that Brenden had Langerhan's cell histocytosis..whew a mouth full, didn't think anything about it, had never heard of that in all my nursing years and he says "You have to get Brenden up here to Children's mercy first thing in the morning for full blood work and body scan! This diagnosis can easily be cancerous and it normally spreads to organs and bones" my stomach hit the floor, what? Cancer in my newborn that doesn't happen to us! The doctor said to me" What ever you do, do NOT go researching it on the internet. All the stories are bad so DO NOT do it!" I was stunned and I didn't research it because what you don't know with prognosis is better at this time.  I was sick...dry heaving in the trash can and called my husband who was grocery shopping to get home NOW the dr just called! We had to call my family as we were celebrating the next Thanksgiving early and my mom cancelled as no one would feel like being joyful until we got the news on Brenden's results. My world was crashing down around us. We got up early the next day loaded our baby in the car and took the 1 1/2 hour trip to the Children's hospital. The bloodwork Brenden didn't even cry even though mommy was he was such a champ. Then on to the full body xray scan...we got to stay in the room and I remember the techs trying to get him to lay down and not move but by then he was screaming at the top of his lungs thrashing around and again mom is crying and we got to stand behind the xray "tv" screen and as a nurse I was checking every picture on that and I didn't see anything that looked bad but I'm no radiologist so then we were given our baby and told they would get the results to our doctor. Thanksgiving day our doctor (who was on vacation visiting family) personally called us to give us the results that he was clear no cancer but we needed to start high doses steroid treatment and see an oncologist regardless so we did and now it is just a big scar of his shoulder. They say it can come back but if the spot clears up 99% of the time it does not reoccur. I thank God for our dermatologist and was so mad at myself that I screwed around with our home town doctor who kept telling me he knew what it was and this MOM was overreacting. So needless to say, Dr Newell is our angel on Earth. He knew about this diagnosis but had never seen it so since he has had Brenden he has two other children have the same thing and he knew to look for it sooner now! Last year, Brenden was officially discharged from seeing him every 6 months! We are in the clear Thank you God but I still have to make sure dr's check his lymph nodes and internal organs on each dr visit to make sure no enlargements and feel his spot once a week.

Now he is a healthy, comical, fun, crazy, silly little 4 1/2 year old boy who enjoys Spongebob, playing with cars and loves military airplanes, helicopters, dancing, preschool, tormenting his sister who he says is his "buddy" and all that boy stuff! He is truly a joy to his MOM and dad and is a big momma's boy! I am so thankful to God for watching over our son and that he is healthy to this day and to my husband who then allowed me to be a stay at home mom to him and our other 6! That was the day I learned very well that things do happen to people like us and not other people and that you should always tell those you love each day how much they mean to you and show them love cause you never know what tomorrow will bring! Writing this stir a lot of emotion for this MOM and to know that we were lucky to have our little boy even if he has added a few gray hairs to MOM's head that is fine that is what my hair stylist is for!

Gearing up for Valentine's Day! The day dedicated to LOVE!

CLICK HERE TO CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND MAKE MONEY SO YOU
                                    CAN BUY YOUR LOVE THE PERFECT GIFT! 

The day of showing how much you LOVE your significant other is fast approaching this year! Do you have any special plans or gifts you will be giving to them? I am just now beginning to think about the day of LOVE and wondering what I will be getting my husband of 6 1/2 years. I know he would LOVE a Jeep but if the man hasn't been seen in a jewelry store for at least 3 years then I don't see this lady sitting at a car dealership on the most romantic day of the year! Sorry hubby, I LOVE you but not to sit there for hours filling out paperwork. Maybe next week!

I do know that my kids are all excited for this day and are moving and grooving at the last minute trying to make money so they can buy mom and dad some sentimental goodies. They are selling candy bars at school for $0.50 so I am sure I will soon be presented with 7 loving bars of chocolate but is this mom complaining! NO, I LOVE chocolate but it does make wreck havoc on starting my diet plans so I guess I will tough it out then until after Valentine's Day. I do not want to disappoint my kids by not eating their candy bars! lol  It is a tough job but someone has to do it!

Is money tight this year and you can't give your significant other something that they have been wanting and would LOVE? If so, I have a great work from home opportunity that I have been doing and would love to show you how you can make money from home too! I LOVE my at home job. I was a big skeptic on any work from home ads and never once looked in to them as I, like most of America think "scam" but then again a great friend I personally knew was making money from home and I was super excited to see her making money from home so I joined and I LOVE it! I would LOVE to help you change your financial future like I have done. So come on what are you waiting for? You can make hundreds of dollars between now and that wonderful day of LOVE!  There is still time to make money for the perfect gift! PS: You men, you can not go wrong with chocolate, roses, and diamonds and if you really want to impress her get her all three like she deserves!

Keep Calm the kids are back at school! Woot Woot! MOM is doing the happy dance today!

What a beautiful new day here in the Belmore household! Not because it is Friday mind you, as this stay at home mom doesn't get weekends off but because 6 out of the 7 kids were lovingly placed on the big ole school bus this morning. They had  2 hour late start but hey, I am NOT complaining except when #7, my 4 year old son is pointing at the clock asking me every minute when they kids will be home from school since he is in desperate need to go play his big brothers PS 3 game. Last night they told him to wait his turn and then it became their bedtime for school so I had to call the lil one downstairs and he was just crying up a storm as it was "almost his turn." So to calm the crisis I told him he would have to wait until they got home from school tomorrow to show him how to operate the system as I am positive he could even set it all up before his techno illiterate mother could but still, I am not being held responsible for any systems or games being destroyed so he can just wait. But why does he have to keep pointing at the clock to show me the time when I know my time of quiet and freedom is quickly coming to an end so they can be cooped up for another weekend with MOM!

I know that other MOM's out there feel my pain but it must have been pretty bad for some of the kids to yell "woo hoo" when I told them they were having school today just a 2 hour late start. I must mention that these children that yelled "woo hoo" right a long with MOM are females! LOL...you wouldn't EVER hear my boys uttering the words "woo hoo" after being informed that school is in session. The only woo hoo'ing I heard from their room was when they were told school was out and that it was supper time!

But, another reason I am thankful is that my 15 year old that is 6 feet tall was eating me out of house and home. Like stated in an earlier blog, it was like having a million termites eating through all your food in the cabinets & the fridge! JEESH, thankfully I shopped at Aldi on Monday. I love, love love, LOVE that store. Did I mention I love Aldi? My little ones love it to because they fight over who is going to pay for the cart but they only pay for it with MY money! lol  My husband HATES Aldi and when I met him he thought everything was to be name brand in food. Shoot, I have found many off brand food items that were even better then the name brand so I have slowly worn him down to eating food that is beneath him but when you have a family of 9 with 2 4 legged daughters named Jasmine (a boxer who is worse then my 15 year old on steroids in the eating dept) and a beautiful lil Shorkie Prnicess named Belle then you add in that my 6 year old daughter who is a cat lover/hoarder then you have a financial disaster for a one income family! ( As you can tell the 4 legged furry daughters are both named after Princess's) So, now that I am off and rambling (see any verbal communication  that is more then kid talk or Spongebob I jump all over so forgive the ramblings) Now I have whipped hubby in to shape with my Aldi food runs that he now doesn't complain when he sees the actual savings we are getting! I love that store..I can have a heaping loaded cart for under $100 and if I was at Walmart with that amount of stuff you are looking at least $300! And did I mention those cashiers can empty a cart at lightening speed? They don't fool around and I know the little elderly people with their bread and milk behind me are glad that they work that fast cause when I go I hope to not go back for a couple of weeks at least!

Well, my faithful followers or just the ones that want to make themselves feel better about their lives by reading my blogs. My time is nearing to an end before my door is busted open with 6 kids all talking at once, red nosed from the cold, shoving book bags in my face to check for homework. But I just had to share my joy and SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS that the kiddos HAD SCHOOL today! YAH!!!

Did I mention I found a FREE easY way to make money at home? Of course, being the frugal MOM I am I had to research it and found several friends doing this but you get paid $1 to answer questions and you get $0.50 for each person that you refer! WOW, how easy is that? You need a paypal where you can get paid or you can have it paid to your favorite charity! Here is the link just copy & Paste and register and your on your way to making money! HEY, every little bit helps..It will help pay for MY CART AT ALDI! :0)

This stay at home MOM is going stir crazy....day #4 kids out of school due to weather!

Now, I know you other stay at home MOM's or dad's can relate to this! I saw this on my Facebook timeline and laughed so hard because well, it is so true! lol  Ok, it was all fun and games the first snow day as we cuddled with our kids and watched the snow falling looking so beautiful outside with the sun glistening off the heaping snow drifts but bring on day #4 from school combined with the weekend which means day #6 stuck in the house with 7 kids this MOM is about to be rocking in a corner sucking my thumb mumbling for my MOM!

As I write this, my wonderful husband of 6 1/2 years is working away in his little office as he is a MSgt in the Air Force smiling ear to ear even though he sometimes thinks I have the luxurious job of being able to sit at home all day sitting on the couch, popping bon bons left & right, watching soaps, filing my nails and talking on the phone all day! I am not sure how he thinks his kids get off to school, house cleaned, cats and dogs taken care of, dishes, laundry, cooking, homework, baths, errands, dr visits, extracurricular activities for kids to be dropped off & picked up from,  etc get done but it possibly couldn't be from this MOM who has a permanent butt imprint on the couch. HA, let's just say that he has his days where he says the night before going back to work (and only being home with the kids a few hours) "I can't wait to go to work tomorrow!" REALLY...so some days this MOM wishes I could hide in his trunk and spend 10 hours actually filing my nails talking on the phone eating a frozen bon bon since is is below freezing outside but I would enjoy those moments stuck in the dark cold trunk! lol  I am not putting my husband down at all but I know he couldn't do what I do without being insane and I couldn't do what he does every day for our family and our country without being insane so I guess we both do what we are good at but as he is a MSgt in the Air Force I make sure he knows not to confuse his rank with MY authority! This MOM rocks the taking care of 7 kids a lot of times on my own. Our house is run like a boot camp but all chaos breaks loose if it isn't...scheduling is the key to success for this MOM!

I do know regardless of the amount of kids in the house there is one thing that is easy for me to do and that is my job in online marketing from home! I love it and it works for this MOM in supplementing our income and feeding these kids since they have practically ate us out of house & home being home 4 days when they should have been in school...it is like a pack of termites was let loose in my cabinets and fridge. Dear God in heaven I pray that you allow school to be in session tomorrow. Thank you for my wonderful kids but some time apart for a few hours would be splendid for MOM!  Thank you and Amen!

Stay tuned for possibly a more rational and ecstatic blog tomorrow or I may be pecking one key at a time with a pencil while I am in a beautiful white jacket tied in the back! Who knows what will happen to this MOM if another snow day hits this house combined with the upcoming weekend! Stay tuned! Did I mention "I WANT MY MOM!"

How a STAY AT HOME MOM survives snow days from school!

Another day with kids out of school so this is day #3 in a row for my 7 kiddo's and you throw in the weekend that means they have been cooped up together with their stay at home MOM for 5 days and counting. I have not heard if they are having school tomorrow but I do know that this cooped up MOM of 7 kids would gladly pull their sled to get them there! lol

Here are some ideas I have done during snow days with the kids that they absolutely LOVE!

#1: I let them go scoop their snow in a cup (preferably white snow) lol  and let them pour snow cone syrup on their snow & have at it. Not only is this fun for the kids to get their own snow & make their own snow cone in a cup but it helps clear my sidewalks if they eat enough! :0)

#2:  Break out the kiddy movies, hot chocolate & popcorn

#3: If you are brave, you take over an hour getting 7 kids ready to go outside to play in the snow that they have begged for before it even snowed only to have them come in crying 10 minutes later that they can't feel their feet & hands. So there you go stripping 7 kids off and cleaning up the wet mess. Why do kids not realize how much trouble it is for MOM to hear snow is coming cause you just know this huge mess is going to happen right? So now you have a crying wet red nosed and hand kid that begged for that torture!

#4:  Family time to make a snow man, sledding, 4 wheeler rides, snow ball fights

#5:  Make snow ice cream another solution to your snowy sidewalks..forget the shovels let the kids eat it

#6: If your a lucky MOM (which I am not) suggest nap time for a few hours

So the question this MOM is asking is if there is school tomorrow. If you are a lucky MOM, you will get the notification before you put the kids to bed so they can sleep in or if your an unlucky MOM like me you will get it at the time you have all the kids up and dressed ready for the bus so now you have 7 kids wide awake ready to start their fun filled day of asking MOM for the schedule of activities that she has planned for the entire day! Whew, please let there be school tomorrow. I pray to God that the roads are cleaned off enough that the kids, teachers and school staff are able to make it safely to school so this MOM can have one quiet day of just sitting here not hearing "mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mommmmmm  I want....(insert request that is normally denied)

Another thing that keeps me sane is my work from home job that I can still do all the above mentioned things on snow days while making money at home! Who says you can't be a stay at home MOM and bring money in to the family? I am here to tell you that you can do it. It is legit. I was the biggest skeptic when it came to working from home job ads...I never inquired as most of the people think the same thing I did "it is a scam. The only at home job you can do is daycare!" Now I love kids don't get me wrong but why would I get 7 kids off to school and just reload the house with more? I like my sanity and so does my husband! If you want to see how I help supplement our family's income then comment or go to my link to see what it is all about. I got started by spending $10 and have made that and hundreds more so come on a little investment could change your whole life!

White out conditions outside but seeing green in my bank account!

I am seeing white outside the windows but when I sat down at my computer in the warmth and comfort of my home I am seeing green bars which in my at home business equals MONEY in my bank account! The most beautiful sight in the world is seeing green bars and being able to stay home with my kids as they have no school due to the snow.

I know there were several people in Missouri that had to call in to work due to the weather so now is the time to make up the money you lost today not going in to work and start supplementing your income at home! If you are a stay at home mom or dad and wanting to make money so you aren't living paycheck to paycheck then this opportunity is what you are looking for!

Love my team and the support I get with my job at home! Not just team mates but friends

Wow, who knew that approx 3 weeks ago (making the best decision I have done in a long time) by joining a work at home team that I would meet so many wonderful people who are a big inspiration to me, such support and just my very own cheerleading section. I have not met these people in person but I have kept up to date with them daily on facebook. The true amount of caring from this group just astounds me that there are true kind hearted people in this world and very special angels here on Earth.  (you know who you are Chris & Donita) I LOVE my new work at home job. Being a stay at home mom is entirely a BIG job in itself but there are times where you feel like you aren't contributing to the family like my husband who is active duty military the past 18 years and bringing home the bacon. I realize most will say "WHAT!?!?! you have 7 kids you tend too" but there are times when the older 6 are in school and that it is just me and my youngest son that i feel like I should be doing something out in the world. Yes, I have worked since I was 15 years old full time until 4 years ago when our youngest son was born. Before then I worked 12 hour night shifts at a hospital as an RN even when we blended our families and I had 5 kids and pregnant with #6 in our blended family. I do look back on that time and think "MAN, was I Super Woman or what!? Who does that kind of thing?" But to be honest there are days I feel less since I am not out in the work field bringing home any money BUT NOT NOW.....I am finally making money and I am still able to care for all the kids and make sure  homework, baths, supper, extracurricular activities are attended for them all (dance, baseball practice, youth group, Boy Scouts, tutoring, Science Olympiad, basketball, etc)

There are also days where you feel completely disconnected from the world where you no longer know how to communicate with adult people and only speak "kid" lol ....so that brings me to social media sites where I can connect with old friends, distant family, old school mates, etc but who knew that I would learn about a work from home job that was actually LEGIT and also where I can form new bonds & friendships with those that are in the same boat!

Is there any other stay at home moms or dads out there that are looking for a little extra income without sacrificing their children's growing up days at home or special school concerts, dance recitals or sporting events. Let me help you find this perfect opportunity for someone that has a home computer & internet service. That is all you need (other then knowing how to copy & paste) and approx. $10 to complete your three levels and then you are on your way to making money too!

Hello to all my fellow wonderful stay at home moms and dads. Just to give you a little info on myself. I am a mom of 7 in a blended family of yours, mine & ours. I had to give my up RN career to raise these critters and we are literally living paycheck to paycheck, My husband is full time active duty military and has 2 more years before he retires at his 20 year mark. Before our youngest was born I was managing to work nights with 5 kids and we got pregnant with our first child together and I continued working nights but after #7 was born there was no way I could go back. So 4 years later of living off credit cards when we couldn't stretch the paychecks so now we drowning in debt and I still have another year and a half before I can get back out there in the medical field. I found this most wonderful work at home job that is giving us that extra money to get us through to the next paycheck. Was I skeptical? ABSOLUTELY...never have I seen any work at home jobs that were not scams OR as is the majority of the public opinion they all are! Well, I saw a good friend talking about her stay at home job and seen her income she was getting and just knew that we had to do something to support our family. To go to being financially stable with 2 full time workers to one..was devastating to our finances. As all parents they try to give their kids the best of life but when you have to tell them no for something small cause you have no money until next week is just a horrible feeling for a parent. They have ALL their NEEDS but it their wants that tugs at a mom's heart strings that we can't get them. So I joined this at home company and I am fired up as this company is going places! I am a part of a great supportive team that teaches you how to be as successful as possible and they lift you up when you are down. I would LOVE to give you this opportunity as well and let ZNZ change your life as it has mine! Please don't wait as long as I did to change your life. I did sit on the fence for a couple of weeks not sure if I wanted to do this but I saw numerous people having success with this company and I just knew in my heart that God was leading me this way! I would love to thank my husband who never once doubted what I was going to do and has supported me every day and roots me on every single day. I know that working as a stay at home mom is a full time job in itself but it does make me feel down as I am not contributing to my family and my husband feels down on himself that he feels like he isn't supporting our family enough...well, normally people do not have 7 kids to care for so we are the exception to the rule but we are blessed and rich beyond our means that we have a roof over our head, food in our bellies and everyone is clothed and warm. SO PLEASE do this for yourself and for your family!  Message me and I will be more then happy to tell you how you can change the direction your life is going and I am also on Facebook and would love to friend you and keep in touch so I can root you on or answer any questions you may have! God bless and thanks for reading!

Snowy, Icy Day here in Missouri and planning my son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony with the money I am making from my at home job! :0)

Well, another snowy icy day here in Missouri but that doesn't keep us down long. I headed to KC to pick up my son's Eagle Scout patches for his uniform. ( 1 1/2 hour drive one way..I live in the boonies) Yes, my oldest just earned his Eagle scout last month and you talk about one proud mom here! Now we are working on planning his Eagle Court of Honor in which mom is going ALL OUT which brings me to the subject of money for this ceremony that will be needed! I am so fortunate that I can stay home with all of our 7 kids and still make money at home. We no longer have to stretch out each paycheck and pray that we make it until payday. I don't have to tell the kids they can't participate in something because we have no money until the next payday. I am so fortunate that a good friend lead me to ZNZ where I can make money even while I am sleeping. It is easy....takes approx $10 to complete Fortune 500 company trials and then you are on your way to waking up to money in your bank account! It is seriously that easy. Just copy & pasting ads online that is all you need to know other then  how to deposit your check from ZNZ into your account.  NOW, don't get me wrong, this is not a get RICH QUICK job but for our family every little bit helps supplement our income. SO now I can give my son the Eagle Scout court of honor ceremony he deserves since mom is now able to make money while watching all my children grow up. If this sounds like something you might be interested in then please comment or follow my link. I will be with you every step of the way to show you how it is done and give you all the support and tips needed to be successful at ZNZ! Just click on the link below and I will see you there! :0)
