The Old Saying...

You all know the old saying "when H-E-double hockey sticks freezes over". Anyone who has ever said that, prepare to pay up. It has. Hell has frozen over. We have snow on the ground, and more on its way, with the exception of a half day on Thursday, the kids are on a streak of snow days compliments of the school district, and I am going bonkers!! Friday the 29th of January was the last day of the semester for the district. The kids had a half day. They hit the door off the bus at noon and by 3 I was looking at the clock thinking it was time for dinner and then bed. Sigh, not so. Saturday we got about 9 inches total. Sunday we were still buried and church was cancelled. Monday was a scheduled "teacher work day". Tuesday and Wednesday all we had was sunshine glaring off the snow in the yard. Streets were clear, temps not too bad at all and yet... no school!!! Thursday I though, "surely, there is school today!" Well, sort of! School had a "2 hour delay". The bus picked them up 5 minutes before 10:00 and then Jaden and I raced off to a very, very packed commissary. We got home just in time to unload and put away all the groceries before the kids got home again. Friday, on ONLY the threat of a few flakes in the early afternoon, school was cancelled again!! What in the world are they thinking?! We got a total of about an inch yesterday and then some rain. Nothing that would have hindered the teaching of our kiddos and the saving of the sanity of hundreds of mothers across Colonial Heights. Today it's at it again. Snow, snow everywhere... is this week to be a repeat of last week? Oh, I hope not!
