Parents being responsible, kids well dressed, did they all have backup plans???

Inquiring minds want to know.... ::::

Well, it's warmer today than it was suppose to be. Our schools closed but I am open and just told my parents that if being at work isn't prudent, do NOT bring your children.

I have 4 families (5 kids) that still brought their children.

Only one family was NOT working but in their defense, it is the dad that's a teacher and off work but they are remodeling their home and he needs to get something done and I can understand not wanting to do construction work with an 18 month old running amok.

It's a nice mellow day at work for me so it's all good.

LOTS of rearranging and paperwork that needs to get done so I've got plenty to do.

Nice

It is ridiculously cold today, but absolutely beautiful. We had become so blah from the grey days, this is such a huge relief.

All the kids arrived safely, on time, are well dressed (for indoors, too) and one Mom even brought an unopened box of instant hot chocolate and mini-marshmallows for us... It was a pretty awesome surprise.

Yesterday I had 3 out of 4 today I had 2 out of 3 show up. All the parents are home (A couple of teachers and one mom on her last week of maternity leave). They just showed up 1-2 hours after I open (without me knowing until I sent out the text asking if anyone was coming ... would have been nice to sleep in a bit). They were late because one had to dig their car since it was stuck sideways in their driveway since yesterday evening, and the other one had to go through 3 cycles of auto-start on his car before it was warm enough for him to go in it ... I think that's a sign it's a bit too cold to bring your kid out if you don't need to. Oh well ...

We aren't going outside, but everyone is coming in all bundled up, so that's a plus.

Its been a crazy day already this morning. My daughters school was just two hours late. I totally planned on it being cancelled as seriously they are like the only school open in the area or anywhere around for that matter ! I thought about keeping her home as I do think its crazy they are having school But she wanted to go. So had to get her up, ready and fed put a baby to sleep my son was needing to be wiped screaming in the bathroom. And a set of twins that were just going crazy this morning. Hopefully it will all calm down now. What a morning. Baby only slept an hour but twins will nap early as dad comes at 2. But have my afterschool kids now today also. Gonna be one of those LONG days. time to slam something down for breakfast for myself ! Im starving.

Dcg wasn't here yesterday (payday) bc dad didn't work, he's a teacher. He dropped off this morning and said that he forgot the check and he would just pay tomorrow. I said back oh ok, we don't really need groceries tonight anyways! Um, I will go to the ATM after work. Wonderful! We didn't want to eat a PP & J again! ;-) yea for sarcastic backbone!

I had 2 families, 3 kids drop off without hats and/or gloves.

Well, that stinks... Notice would have been nice, I would not go out today, either. Hopefully they all sleep well for you, you deserve a break!!!

Hope you get a nice long lunch to make up for your missed breakfast. :hug: My daughter is the same, wants to go to school... Afraid she will have to make up the days during her summer. :::: At least that is what she tells me, I think it is because she wants to leave the infants and toddlers and hang out with people whose noses don't blow bubbles when they laugh...

Reading sounds like a dream!!! I am not sure it is worth those temps though... Holy Cow!! I can never complain about my temps ever agin... well, unless they hit 120 this summer, again... I may whine a tad bit then....

2 of 2 kids are here today, one late as dcg is teacher in district that had 2 hr delay.

Kind if irked as she brought her in and said "she has a low grade fever, gave her tylonel, probably teething" -- I would have kept dcg anyway as the temp mom gave wasn't higher than my illness policy states...i am just irked she didn't ask..just told :P so that makes it a normal morning here . Oh and the 6, 4, and 3 year olds are bickering hard today, finally gave up and put on an educational tv show...ahem....

Whoops lost my sense of humor sorry!

Ha ha I love your disclaimer at the bottom!
My DD didn't have school yesterday, but all the kids were here yesterday and today. This was the first time everyone came prepared with all outdoor snow gear. Too bad it's too cold to play outside

Nah.... You will get it back after a little naptime chocolate. lovethis

Hope you don't catch a case of teething, DCM may have to pay for two providers, then.

Ha ha I love your disclaimer at the bottom!

I was waiting for someone to call me out on name calling..... Idiot is a bad word, doncha know... ::::

The article just made me smile over coffee this AM and inspired a great mood...

I think I'd not send the gloves/hats home, toss 'em in their cubbies and call it a day.
