I have to look up local storage facility pricing today. We are going to put things away so we can start getting ready to sell our home in March. I am excited and also nervous about everything that has to get done between now and then!

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. Hope she feels better soon. DS1 is home with the same thing (with MH)--fever with no other symptoms. And he just finished a round of abx for strep on Friday.

Back to work today! First day back since the 22nd of December. Half happy to go back and half wish I could stay home.
Coffee right now since I am on afternoons.
Kid is having a dance party in the living room at the moment 💃

I am like a bottomless pit this morning. Already has a breakfast burrito and two pieces of cheese bread. I need to stop eating!

Got another 3 inches of snow last night. It never ends.
Back to our full routine of work and daycare. So much to do.

I was all gung ho for starting this week off not buying food at work and I promptly bought a kolache. 😒 I'm side eyeing myself.

The good news is that it's no longer 4 degrees out, and I bought a bunch of chocolate at 75% off to stock the office; bad news is it snowed overnight and is now 33 degrees, so my commute was a slushy, slippy nightmare and now I'm at work. The chocolate may not last the day.

I have peanut butter crackers in my lunch bag so it's not like I didn't have another option. Grr. I need to cut this spending and unhealthy extraneous eating out.

Good morning. I’m stuck on a train waiting for crews to break ice ahead. And thanks to crazy traffic this morning I’m already a half hour late for work. Happy Monday.

My kids are home still. No word on when they can go back. This time it’s because a water main broke and we are on a boil water advisory. The earliest that might be lifted is tonight but there are no guarantees. Without clean water- no school.
So far they have just expanded the area of the advisory a few times so I’m not super optimistic about it being lifted tonight. Last week was a 2 hour delay, a 2 hour early release, and two days off for snow. Now this.

The kids start swimming lessons today and I’m touring a new preschool that we are considering for DS1. My boss will surely be thrilled that I am an hour+ late for work and asking to leave early.

This week won’t be fun. Lots of driving and going and doing when I really feel best being extra still. Still 3 weeks away from second tri and that is no guarantee that any of this will go away 😞

Schools are closed here bc it may ice later. I am just glad DD still goes to daycare, which is open. So far this year schools have been closed 3 days in a row for it being cold. I am dreading next year when she goes to K and DH and I have to figure out the logistics for these closure days.

Dh and I had a come to Jesus talk yesterday about my spending and his lack of quality family time. I think we are in a better place now that we’ve laid our issues all out on the table. Of course, this was just in time for him to leave for another week long work trip. Glad we did it though. I feel lighter today. Got up with him at 3 to see him out the door and wasn’t able to go back to sleep. I need to tackle the master closet at some point this week because it is a straight up disaster but not today Satan. Did not get enough sleep to even think about tackeling that monstrosity. I think a little laundry and housework is on deck instead.

Thankfully we have school and it’s a delightful 20 degrees outside.
So I’m trying to use this information to cheer myself up because I’m stressed out and exhausted and it’s only going to get worse.

I also would not want to be making the call on school closings. Based on our town Facebook pages people rage either way. If they close schools, people are upset. This morning schools are open and people are angry because not all residents have cleared their sidewalks. Then the town gave warnings to residents to clear the sidewalks or face fines, and people are angry about that.

Snow day over here! DS is thrilled and I’ll take a bonus day off with him.
He’s got hot chocolate and I’ve got hot coffee. SO is still sleeping. No idea what we will do with our bonus day together.

We are watching The Lion King and my kid just loves it!
I bought it when we were at the store yesterday and she is enamoured with the animals and all of the songs.
So snowy today and it is nice to sit and relax before my shower and getting ready for work.

The heat is out at my job. My fingers are already ice. Thankfully, I keep a snuggy in my office and that is keeping my trunk warm. Snuggie, snuggy...I don't know the official spelling.

We just booked a trip to DC for February and I’m so giddy. I used to travel there A LOT for work so I’m excited to go back and take my kid to all the museums!

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.

I’m surprised schools are cancelled so easily for a lot of you. I live in NC. They don’t have the equipment to deal with the snow and cold that we got. Also kids don’t have the gear to walk to school/wait at a bus stop in this cold. On their late start day I saw kids being dropped off in just sweatshirts. It’s was still only 20. I’m pretty sure the water main breaks were from the cold too. They just can’t handle the weather right now. As a native Ohioan, I’ve learned a lot about what happens when it’s cold/snowy in the south. Also NO ONE can drive in it here. It’s nuts

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.
