Stairing down the barrell
of a 3rd YES count them 3 snow days in a row.. when actually they aren't snow days at all... they are FLOOD DAYS... almost half of the roads in our school district are un-usable... so if busses can't accomidate school is closed.. i have to say there are allot of homes with out power so that is probably a huge factor as well. Hopefully tomorrow the Library will be open so we can at least get out of the house! it is getting old.. Ben asked today if i'm so tired of 3 snow days what am i going to do in the summer.. here's the difference.. i know that there is no school every day during the summer.. we get into a routine, we know what is expected etc.. when we don't know from day to day weather or not there is going to be school it throws everything off.. KayLea is miserable because her routine is completely wrecked the boys are bent because they feel like if they are home they should be able to rule the TV or what ever else and the biggie.. when the weather is crappy i can't just sent the kids outside to run play etc... today it finally stopped the wintery mix (snow/sleet/rain) so the kids begged to go outside.. they did and lasted about 20 minutes and came in completely soaked through winter jackets, snow pants boots etc.. it was a muddy mess!!! but i'm glad they got to go out side even just for a bit!!!..
I'm grateful though that even though we are having a very minor water in our basement issue we aren't flooded, Ben can still get to work (there are many, many homes who are trapped because there is no outlet from their homes) and fingers crossed the water issue for us will be cured tomorrow (happy day!!!)... so i have many many things to be thankful for i just need to remember them more than my frustration over snow/flood days...
we will survive this i know this for sure!
