My children are never going back to school. Got the call at 6:30 am. Entering Week Four of Togetherness. Same here. I’m over it at this point. Between Christmas break and snow days I’ve worked 2 school days since dec 15th. So much togetherness 🙄

12 days until we leave for Disney and I'm keeping every body part crossed that we don't get a snow storm. Also, I have no idea what or how to pack. This is our first big family vacation ever and I'm freaking out. Pack it all. Last week it didn’t hit 55. Today it’ll be 70. I’m assuming you mean Disney World. Disregard if it’s the other.

Hi! We had a crazy busy weekend. I have so much to do. Instead of being productive, I'm on Pinterest. Spiraling on first birthday plans for the little guy. I've decided the theme will be Winter One-derland. So many cute ideas. We did this theme with DD. So cute!

Yes, Disney World. So much checked bag fees.

Our schools closed pretty often, but we have Blizzard Bags. If 80% of students complete their blizzard bag assignment on a snow day, the day counts as a school day. I like the concept but I fucking hate the actual Blizzard Bags. Since it counts as a school day, the assignments are loooong and DS1 is only in kindergarten so I have to work through it with him. I actually enjoy helping him with his weekly homework, but the Blizzard Bag assignments are so fucking boring and take forever. That’s a pretty cool concept.

My kids are off school for the third day. Reason of the day is that we might get freezing rain later this afternoon, so they just said fuck it. The daycare where the girls usually go on snow days didn't have room because they had overflow from another flooded facility. I didn't have the option of working from home today, so they are at work with me. Good luck! My mom has a lot of stories of when she had to take me into work with her. I was a spirited child.

I've already yelled. Fuck everything. Sometimes I think I need one of those OSHA-type signs in my house: "It's been _ days since I didn't lose my shit".

It says it’s per eligible person, not household, but they reserve the right to limit quantities. Doesn’t hurt to try!

The good news is that she will be feeling better really soon since she can start abx! Exactly! DS went though two or three years where he’d get it pretty regularly. We learned all the symptoms. And also that you want it diagnosed sooner than later. It makes the recovery so much better and quicker.

Of course Addie is watching the ipad with her headphones on so every time she says something she yells it.

Thanks guys. I'm just hoping we don't get it. I'm feeling my anxiety spike lol No sharing of anything! DS had it many times and H and I never got it.

scoutboo your pics always look tranquil, which I’m sure sounds funny between STD antics and WFM with kids. Enjoy the latte!

I'm sorry for the school closings and sick LOs. Ds2 just passed his hearing screen and out discharge orders are in so hopefully we can break out of here soon. I'm excited and nervous for DS1 to meet the baby.

Back to school today for DS. While not happy about it-because school is stupid-he wasn’t as bad as he usually is on a Monday. I eventually need to do stuff around the house.

My sister and I got strep a ton as kids. My parents never got it. And I remember being psyched every time I had it, because it was a “free” two days off school, plus “the pink” medicine that I loved. Hope it’s just as breezy at your house!

Thanks guys. We're sitting on the couch watching Spirit on Netflix. She got a box of TimBits when we left Target.
Last night when MH put her to bed she cried because she wanted to be Lucky from this Spirit show. She's a mess.

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 I'm so disappointed by your 2nd paragraph.

Hope it’s just as breezy at your house! I remember getting it a lot too. I remember once my sister being pissed because she didn't think I was really sick (I was practically bouncing up and down excited about missing school), so I showed her my disgusting bleeding throat and she almost threw up. Good times...

Our daycare is closing at 3, which... fine.
I am working from home. H's school is closing at noon and he asked if I wanted him to pick up the kids on his way home.
NO. WE HAVE UNTIL 3 OCLOCK GET ON MY TEAM, H.

I'm now armed with DS1's favorite sick day food/drinks, Tylenol Kids' cold and flu, and a brand new bottle of bleach. I'm taking advantage of the bright sun and opening all the south face windows even though it's cold.
This too shall pass, right?

I’m torn between being productive or being lazy. I did two loads of laundry, made beds, cleaned the bathroom before the kids left for school. That’s something, right? Eta: oh I also vacuumed. Sit down and relax! That’s enough for a Monday. You’ll make the rest of us look bad.

We are having a very peaceful morning which I am enjoying after a crazy weekend. My early riser slept in until 6:30! And DS2 didn’t wake up until 7:30! Big kid is at school, the middle and little are playing while I drink coffee. Going to do some meal prep, laundry and save cleaning for nap time.
