so maybe I won't so my homework tonight

my dear husband brought me home a lovely bottle of Merlot.
I Managed to do some some school work but it is beginning to look like my Sunday is now booked this week while the boys go out to a movie. I would totally go to bed now but I know C can not be trusted to go to bed on his own once wrestling is over.

feel sorry for the teachers this morning

after 2 1/2 days of "snow miracle" I am sure the kiddies will be hard to corral this morning. We had troubles here getting out of bed, eating breakfast you name it it took C twice as long as normal and he is not a morning person to begin with soo I had to drive him into school no way no how were we going to make a 6:50 bus.
I really do think they could have gotten by with just a delayed opening yesterday instead of a complete day off. I also think that Knox county should look into their policies regarding school closures and perhaps consider dividing the schools up into some sort of sub-sections by location for closures etc because the roads out here were fine yesterday and while my son had a great time playing Wii at his grandmother's all day I think school would have been a better option.

day two of snow day miracle

Monday was only 1/2 a day of miracle so this will be second full day. Yes they are out of school again today except there has not been more snow it is just very very cold and they say we maybe might have more snow at some point today upshot being no school today. I have some school work to do myself this morning and then I will see if Mee-Maw doesn't mind a visitor again today, hopefully the Wii has cooled down after much play yesterday..

the snow day miracle

first thing out of C's mouth this morning. There was more miracle talk when the weather came on and they started in with more snow coming tonight. So a snow miracle??!? Not really quite sure it qualifies as a miracle but whatever....
While my class was technically cancelled the teacher sent out the word she wanted us there at 10 ready to start on the exam. So I went and did what she assigned then found the rest of it online to be finished before noon tomorrow & I have plans to finish it tomorrow morning in my pajamas & slippers with my morning coffee. Isn't technology grand?
David dropped C over at his mother's house for the day so he could play Wii and probably eat pizza or Mickey D's for lunch as well as various & sundry other bits of junk food throughout the day. Not exactly the most productive use of a day off but what are 'ya going to do? I think perhaps the full snow day today might have been a waste especially if we get the snow they are calling for tonight and really need a snow day tomorrow. I don't know I realize it can be a difficult decision, can't please all of the people all of the time etc however I think they could have managed with just a delay this morning. They never do delays here for some reason I just don't know what that reason might be.

snow day dance

The early dismissal was kind of nice. I napped. After C finished his homework I broke rules and let him play PS2on a weekday so I could nap. It was a good thing. Tonight finds him wishing, hoping and praying hard for a snow day tomorrow. We have made him go to bed regular time just in case but I am thinking it will be an icy mess tomorrow morning so they will call school. I would prefer they do it before I go to bed but no big deal I suppose I am usually up fairly early. I do have an exam myself in the morning that I am wondering about. The snow event 2 weeks ago gave us a 2 hour delay cancelling class so I suppose that the same is likely for us tomorrow but I have studied just in case. I thankfully have signed up for text alerts so any delays will go right to my phone no need to hover around the tv,radio or computer for an update. Growing up my brother & I would use our back porch as the snow gauge and depending on how high it was on the ledge we would analyse the likelihood of a 1 hour delay, a 2 hour delay or a cancellation.

need to rethink my snow event protocol

rather I need to figure out what my snow event protocol is and then perhaps rethink it. As it started to snow and stick I kept checking the news sites for school closures and by the time they called it I had already decided to head west and fetch the kid. I had called daycare earlier and confirmed that they would have the bus out to collect the kids from school which was good because(bad mother alert) I have no flipping idea what I wrote on the emergency card as to what C should be doing in an emergency. He could get picked up by several folks including myself or he can take the bus home although he does not have a key so maybe not a great idea, there is a friend's house the next street over that he could go to if he were to ride the bus, assuming, that they are home. So fine, finally Knox calls it for 12.30 however I did not have enough time to get him & notify the aftercare van that I did have him in fact if I could have gotten him first. Soooo I went to this daycare and wound up waiting almost an hour for him there. Quite honestly the scariest road conditions were the road & driveway of the daycare. And I had to wait almost an hour till he got there. A wasted hour at that! I should have stayed at work and done some work, or taken my lunch with me and had that while waiting, or if I had brought my textbook with me this morning I could have got some study time in which brings me to my next question my exam at 9.10 wonder if that will happen, safe bet C won't have school but will I?
