Good morning

Well, winter is now really just fucking with us.  We are on course to get sleet/freezing rain/snow...some or all of it this afternoon.   It's supposed to be in the 50's by Thursday.  

How was the weekend?

Ours was OK.  The kiddo had a friend spend the night Friday.  DefConn has this gross sounding cough. No fever or any other symptoms.  I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be croup again.   DH and I had a date on Saturday.   We saw Ride Along (super meh, wait for it on TV or whatever...I did love Kevin Hart in it, but he wasn't enough to make it good).  DH worked yesterday.  I was gloriously alone to work out, grocery shop, and shoe shop.  I found no shoes in store.  I ordered 4 pairs online last night.  :)

    We are getting the freezing rain now and it is supposed to turn into heavy snow by 10ish.  They cancelled school.

    Our weekend was great.  Saturday my mom and dad came to watch DD1's last basketball game and then we went to lunch with them.

    Saturday night we had some friends over.  I set up a taco/nacho bar and we played a couple games.

    Sunday I felt hungover all day even though I only had 2 glasses of wine.  Seriously if I'm up past midnight anymore, I just want to die the next day.  I made myself presentable to get groceries but then just camped on the couch the rest of the day.  Thank goodness the girls were ok with snuggling most of the day and when they did want to rough house DH took care of it.

    Got some things done, but not nearly everything I wanted to complete, both work and personal wise.

    FI and I watched the entire second season of house of cards on netflix.

    I called his grandma to find out where they've booked their hotel room for our wedding March 8th, as they didn't use the room block (yes, I can see who did). Grandma had no idea- apparently her son is supposed to make the arrangements, and doesn't know if he's made them yet. I got to explain to her that the block rate has now expired, and hotels are booking fast in our area due to the legislative session (all of which is on the wedding website). She's calling her son to find out wtf he's doing.

    Also, she told me they (Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, and Uncle) may not make it to Friday night's rehearsal dinner, as Aunt has some work thing now scheduled that they don't know what time it will end, and once she get's back, then they will drive down from Atlanta (about 6 hr drive). I'm bummed for FI's sake, these are his late mother's relatives.

     

    I'm watching the northern weather reports and only half jokingly telling FI we should have reconsidered going to (insert random tropical island here) instead of going to DC the week after our wedding.

    The freezing rain just started here.  School was already closed for President's Day.  Our district won't cancel any holidays, but tomorrow was a flex day, so they're going instead of being off. 

    I wonder if some schools will cancel early. I know some did on Friday when we got a 'surprise' 2-3 in of snow (which put us over the record).

    The freezing rain stopped already and the snow started immediately.  The plow went by about 5 minutes ago and the road is already completely covered.

    I want to smack people who are complaining that their kid is going to be going to school "well into June."  First of all, with today's snow day, the last day of school will be May 30.  Second of all, would they really rather get their kids to school when the roads are this dangerous?  Is not going to school in June that important?  I'm so sick of people complaining about the school calendar.

    The freezing rain started here around 7:15 while I was mid-commute.  Meh.  I suppose I will just hunker down at work and head home like normal at 4.  Slip-sliding home should be interesting. 

    I would've stayed home, but I have a job bidding on Wednesday and I need to get my shiz together.

    Schools were canceled this morning, again.  People are freaking out when they cancel school and when they don't.  Seriously?  Just get over it.  SERIOUSLY.  It's not an easy decision to make.

    We're going to be going 'well into June'...as in June 4th.  

    They got a three week winter break and have only had one full week of school since winter break (I think).  It is what it is.

    Sure, it would be nice if they shaved a few days off their spring break, but it's probably not going to happen, so simmer down.  This winter is not the schools' fault.

    Exactly, Taw.  The schools don't want to be open either, as well as the Teachers either.  Stop acting like they're out to get your summer vacations.  *smh*

    I almost think that trying to alter spring break now would be a disaster.  For most people, if they're going somewhere...it's already planned out.  We're a month and a half away from our spring break. 

    So schools would probably be facing a lot of attrition that would be counter-productive because all those kids would have to be caught up when they got back. 

    When SIL/BIL lived in MO, their school district had the built-in flex days over spring break and that was stated at the outset of the school year.  And they often used those days.

    My mom's school has 5 snow days built into the calendar that do not have to be made up.

    Oh, and I agree, conn, that trying to alter the spring break at this point would be chaos.  People keep talking about it on FB, and I just don't think it's going to work.  Sure it would be nice, but not worth it at this point.

    GAH!!!! Parental snow day kvetching drives me insane. Huh, the entire school district does not rotate around one parent's work schedule and heated SUV with snow tires and 4WD.

    Weekend was not too bad. VDay was not too bad with DH OOT...although it started to rain, which want it took an hour and a half to pick up DD. The commute normally only takes 35 mins. DD's friend had a birthday party, so we went to that, chatted with the other "party circuit" parents. Did a little shopping for some extra bed linens

    Sunday was freakishly nice outside, DH came back from his conference on Sat...so we can do chores....or go to the zoo :)...we did the latter and went to a nice dinner after...DD slept through pretty much the entire meal. Can't say she was misbehaving ;)

    And today, daycare's closed for teacher inservice...which means loading up the DVR with tons of videos so mama can get work done.

    MO does have built in days, but I believe they're starting to get used up.  There was one year I went that they finally just said eff it and we ran a short school year.  It's not about the education process, it's about how the schools get paid.  And I know it sucks, I'd hate it too; I just think that safety is more important.  It's a bit better here now that all of the schools finally have AC, so going into June isn't such a big deal, but that wasn't the case until maybe 3 years ago now.

    I'm having a day.  I'm losing some heart over a process and I don't know if I can keep slugging away at it.

    Also, H's gma had a bone marrow biopsy and is finding out the results today.  MIL all of a sudden was "man, the weather is going to be bad, I cannot drive".  So after months of obsessing over her mother not being well, she just shrugs her shoulders and says, I can't drive.

    H of course was all "HELL NO, DON'T PULL THAT CRAP" and offered to take them, and immediately regretted it of course.  I told him to call me with results when he's ready because I'm sure he'll just be fit to be tied after dealing with is mom, gma and sister at the appt.  Seriously, this is a 85 year old lady who doesn't feel good, what do you expect?

    I'm so not emotional about it.

    Let's see: stayed "home" from work on Friday and slept. I was feeling so ragged and needed it. Watched House of Cards. Saturday, about 30 minutes before we were supposed to leave for our date night, DS pukes. Just all over his bed and had fever/chills. My mom was coming over and sent us out anyways (former ped ICUS nurse so I felt okay with leaving him). Came home and DD was a mess because she didn't get her normal boob and bed routine. DH and I had a good night out and had awesome sushi. And I got drunk-ish. Sunday we relaxed. Today I'm working, kids are home but DH is watching them.
