School is closed yet again but it's about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. W.T.F.  Like, seriously. They've had school in these temps before. I know because I'm a weather checker. I know these types of things. Methinks they just want the whole week off because Friday is going to be really cold. They could have had school today & tomorrow easy but in their heads they're like what's the point. The point is THESE KIDS NEED SCHOOOOOLLLL! 19 days & counting... |

What are your temps NamasteBirches? I think we have to be below -10, either with windchill or not for our schools to close. |

LED - After looking at the reviews of Colorista product you provided a link to, I found another product that might work for me. One of the reviewers suggested using Color Oops before anything else. That is supposed to strip your hair down to it's natural color (or close to it), rather than bleaching it. The reviews of it are good and everyone says it doesn't seem to do damage to your hair. Soooo....I am going out today to pick some up and we'll see how it goes. FX! Thanks again for your recommendation.

We are expecting a "bomb cyclone" tomorrow as our weather. I'm hoping for snow days for all 3 of us.

What are your temps NamasteBirches ? I think we have to be below -10, either with windchill or not for our schools to close. Today's high is 17. In the morning it was around 3 with a real feel of -8 around the time they would be doing arrival. Yesterday's real feel was -22 so that was understandable I suppose. The high yesterday was 7. Today is seriously a regular day. Last month we had these temps. There is no weather standard for closings here either. It's at the discretion of the superintendent which is total bs. I was watching the news site last night for closings. We went to bed with only what looked private establishments closings. Then this morning a ton of schools either delayed or closed so I think our district just jumped ship & followed what everyone else was doing. Have a freaking delay then. Our district NEVER has delays. Ever. So annoying. |

Our district NEVER has delays. Ever. So annoying. That stinks and must be so frustrating. Our closings are semi-discretionary. The superintendent of the district has final say, but with the cold temps there is a threshold that the districts use and have to adhere to. I think each district gets to set their own threshold though. In "the city" that is closest to us, they close or have delays due to cold way more often than we do because of the number of kids that have to walk to school there. We are under a windchill warning for the next couple days, so I suspect we may have some closings or delays. Especially Friday when the high for the day is 2. |

We are supposed to get snow tomorrow too. The superintendent already sent out an email letting parents know that they will be watching the weather closely. I’m sure we will have a snow day. I’m hoping my husband also decides to close the store if it is bad.
I was all excited this morning that I didn’t have to leave the house today. Then I realized it’s Wednesday and I have to bring my son to dance after school. Womp womp.

DS had school today. I’m actually really surprised since my county is under a wind chill warning. I drove him in and will drive him home so he’s not waiting for buses (he does a bus transfer). I’m actually annoyed he has school (our temps are really low to me being in such a big “walker” district) but I’m enjoying my day to myself. My guess is he may be out on Friday but probably not tomorrow.
A friend and I are catching lunch later. I have my plumber coming to hopefully tell me how to fix this problem we keep having. I’m hoping it’s not too expensive.

Me too NamasteBirches! I know our schools are getting a lot of angry calls over it. He’s in the only district in our area back to school- the rest go back like me on Monday. |

Schools here are still on winter break but after two weeks of DD and being sick and now almost two weeks of break, I was really, really happy to drop DD off at gymnastics camp and go wander the mall and have coffee alone.

What I really wish is if they're going to close school for the rest of the week, they get to it with the announcement.
Like today, they waited until 6am. Seriously? The weather wasn't going to change. We're not talking about snow. It would be nice to just mentally be prepared for it.
I can't wait for vacationnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!

NamasteBirches, I can imagine 3 weeks off is rough! I feel like that is going to make it harder for the kids to go back too. DD was only off for a little over a week and by the end she was starting to go stir crazy and was driving me nuts!

This is my biggest issue with him  non stop whining about food. Like, dude. You don't eat this much at school. Would you be whining at your teacher about this? Then don't come at me! BLAHHHHH & we're going to be over the 3 week mark if they actually go back to school on Monday.  |
