Baby decided 4am was a good time to be up for the day. Now that I’ve got a cup of coffee he’s snoozing. 😭

DD's school was cancelled and MH got called at 3 AM to go salt the streets. Between that and the call from the school, I didn't sleep for shit this morning. I'm also taking DD to the doctor because her fever is down but still spikes and her throat and head hurt. She has no other symptoms though.

We had crazy weather roll through last night. Lightning, thunder, rain, hail. Lasted for hours. Post-Harvey anxiety in full effect last night.

DS and I both ended up with a snow day.
He had no idea, had gotten up early, and was getting ready for school.

Our furnace stopped working properly around midnight and the landlord can't get out until tonight to fix it. I'm cold, and actually looking forward to going back to work since it will likely be warm there.

They closed school. I just... can't. It's going to be almost 40 today. Cars are zipping by & they cited "severe weather & poor road conditions." I smell bullshit. DH has been pushing his day off until when he starts school back & he commuted into the city burbs just freaking fine. They could have had a damn delay. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Took a long walk to get blood drawn this morning, now laying down while DD naps.
My Mom brought the 8 pounds of American candy I ordered on Amazon.us and I’m giddy.

My kid is still sick. She had a 104 fever at bedtime so I gave her motrin and had her sleep with us. It never went below 102 last night and she has a horrible cough that made her sick in the middle of the night. She woke up now and it's back up to 104. Mh is going to WFH to stay home with her because I have to go to work. But her cough sounds horrible and she looks so sad I wish I could stay with her.

My baby threw up 2x last night. He seemed fine otherwise so I am hoping he will be ok with MIL today. I told her to call me if he gets sick again (fx he doesn’t). He is only 4 months so I hope he is not coming down with something. He didn’t leave the house this weekend and no one else is sick.

DS2 kept fussing last night so I brought him to my bed around 3:30. So yeah, I’ve basically been up since 3:30 and he is still sound asleep. School is cancelled today for ice or something so we’ll likely have a lazy day.

Today should be the final snow day at home. I’ve been out of school since Wednesday, so I’m over it at this point. I really need to do ALL the laundry today. It’s out of control.

DS has no school again... he hasn’t had school since December 19. Work has a 2 hour delay that they didn’t announce until I was just about to walk out the door. I can’t go back to bed because hair and make up are already done.
The roads still look messy, and I hope they clear a bit before I have to leave again.

I’m feeling pretty peppy for a Monday in January. Seems like the sub 0 temperatures are finally over, DS1 starts gymnastics today, and I made butter for the first time last night. My big plan for today is to buy good bread, haha.

We had a two hour delay too. they put it on Facebook 45 minutes before sending out any texts or emails....if I were working I would have already left for work by the time I got the text. Annoying.

I have had that song of the Pentatonix counting to 5 from Sesame Street stuck in my head for 3 days. Every time I think it is gone, it creeps it's way back in.

Both kids had the stomach bug and it is starting to look like H and I might come away unscathed. They stopped puking Friday/Friday night and so far so good for the grown ups
I threw the children at the daycare teachers and practically sprinted away. Two days of school since December 22. I am NOT cut out to be a SAHM. I'm just not. I audibly gasped when reading that some of your kids are still home.

I started my membership at my new (fitness) studio this month, and I am so sore that Walking is a challenge. Nevertheless, I soldier on because I have approximately one million tasks on today’s to do list.

DS1 woke with a 101 fever. Not completely out of left field since he was being a grouchy ass last evening.
I'm ready for 2018 to end now. We're 8 days in and something shitty has happened every day since Dec 31.

The commute this morning was not fun. Days like today made me wish I worked for a place that either delayed/closed when necessary or that I was able to work from home more frequently. Hoping it all clears up by the evening commute.

Yesterday we had friends over to watch football. I knew we were going to have bunch of kids in the house so I actually cleaned our bonus room. The bonus room has been a dumping ground for outgrown kids clothing and items to be ironed. I would say it hasn't been in a usable state for at least 18 months.
The bonus room looks amazing but now I need to tackle the closet in that room and my laundry room. Both locations became stashing grounds for totes of clothing and blankets. Slowly my house is getting purged and organized.

I just got an update text that one of our campuses is closed and I’m terribly disappointed it’s not mine...
DH took the kids to grandmas, because they live on a hill and his car is better than mine in the snow, so I’m lounging for another half hour. As much as one can lounge in work clothes.

We got a good 2 inches on top of ice so school is canceled but since my school is still on break I'm at work.
While the streets weren't horrible they were still covered and ice was underneath and people were driving like assholes

Not one tiny itsy bitsy drop of any type of precipitation but all school systems closed?- I sure wish I could have stayed home cuddled up, but we are having a food truck at work today to celebrate the Game! Gooooooooooooooooooooooo DAWGS, SIC 'EM WOOF WOOF WOOF
I'm done with that except to say I'm in a weird spot as a grad of University of Georgia but a lifelong/family love for Alabama... I'm so excited and thrilled for UGA but the only team in the world I would not be upset to loose by is Alabama! So ROLL TIDE!
edit for spelling
