Whew! Haven't posted in a while. Strange how 2 weeks goes by in a blink. Of course it's not that I haven't thought of some stuff to write, but life just moves too quickly sometimes. I started a new job in the last 2 weeks...so that's been keeping me very busy. I'll be working from home for the most part, writing ads, editing/proofing websites for a friend's business. It's a big task...his business is crazy busy and growing by leaps and bounds. It's a great opportunity that came knocking at my door and I'm thrilled...and thankful.. God is always so faithful....I love how even when we're not neccesarily looking for something He can just bring it right to us.
So that's my little life update, but in reality I just wanted to share with you about a four letter word today. ~SNOW~ I know, I know...the weather...it's a dull topic...talked about WAAAY too much on Facebook and used as conversation filler all the time. So I won't lament and complain and whine on and on about how much I hate it...about how SICK AND TIRED I am of it...nope I won't do that. I'm just going to very quickly give you my top 9 reasons why I love snow in April.
Here they are...
~TOP 9 Reasons I LOVE Snow in April~
1. It will melt.
2. It will melt sooner rather than later.
3. I like melting snow.
4. MELT is a much better four letter word than SNOW
5. It's not December snow, so it will melt quicker.
6. April is the rainy month, and that causes snow to melt.
7. I like Patty Melts...and snow melts in April, so that's another good one.
8. Melting snow is better than deep drifts of non-melting snow.
9. I can see brown grass. And that's becasue the snow is melting.
I know these reasons are complex. Very deep. I tend to wax philisophical when I talk about snow, so I hope this isn't over your heads. But just try and comprehend what I've said. Meditate on these 9 reasons and see if they speak to you. Carry them with you in your heart.
Put away your shovels... have a patty melt.....and celebrate April!!!

Which answer do you want?
People often ask me the usual question? "So, do you work outside your home?" I have a few different answers depending on who's asking and how much time we have for conversation.
ANSWER 1: "Yes, I'm a PCA for a great little boy a few hours a week at his school."
ANSWER 2: "Yes I'm a PCA for a great little boy a few hours a week at his school, I also have my real estate license, but since we feel like we need to homeschool for a while I'm not doing as much with that right now." ( this answer usually generates more questions, which I don't mind at all) But if I'm racing to get home to make that gourmet supper for my family (said with sarcasm) I might not be able to get into it.
ANSWER 3: "Yes, I do a few different things. We homeschool right now, so I try to keep my schedule flexible for that. But I'm a PCA for a great little boy a few hours a week, I have a real estate license that I keep current, I do some painting on the side when it arises, (I had my own business doing that before we moved) and I also help run our family's company Grandma Myrtle's Specialty Foods & Gifts."
As you can guess, ANSWER 3 is the 'sit down for coffee' answer....or the answer you can give if you're waiting in grocery cart gridlock because the lady at the check out can't find the pricetag on a 99cent pair of socks...so we're all waiting for management to come and do that magic thing with her key at the register. You know what I mean right? I think I'll blog about that one day. It deserves a whole post of it's own. But, back to the here and now.
I've shared with you about our homeschool journey....not too much on real estate, cuz there's not much to tell right now. Refer back to ANSWER 2. But Grandma Myrtle's gets their attention. And if people really want to know about it I love to talk with them. It's something very close to my heart and my husband's heart too...in fact the whole family would call Grandma Myrtle's something very dear. Something that holds such great promise!

Grandma Myrtle's Gift Basket
Even though I haven't spent a lot of time talking about Grandma Myrtle's on my blog, I may end up doing so more often in the future. Partly because as time goes by I'll become more busy with this adventure. And partly because I believe that Grandma Myrtle's has the potential to be a household name one day! So if you want to know more about our family's company there is a link to our website on the homepage. You can see our products that we currently offer and learn more about who we are. If you want to know the story from my perspective....a longer, more personal version, I've created a tab on the top of the homepage... A Family Dream. And lastly, if you really couldn't give a flyin' rip about it that's fine too! See we all can have ANSWERS 1, 2, and 3.
I love hearing comments from you here and on Facebook. Thanks for taking time to read and may you enjoy today...and may you also not get stuck behind the 99 cent sock lady.
