we have a lot of students who walk to school Got it. We are large geographically so we mostly bus. Kids do wait outside for the bus though. My district has a one mile walk radius. And it's one mile as the crow flies so a lot of kids walk farther than that.

AJ fell at the library today and he was fine but cried like he was hurt cause he was an overtired mess. I just brushed it off and was like "you're ok, move on". I'm sure the other parents thought I was a monster, but this kid falls constantly! I'm not coddling every trip 🤷♀️ I hope E is ok though! We are getting 25 below wind chills. Not as bad as a lot of people are seeing, but I'm guessing they will close schools here. Trapped inside with 4 kids... nightmare Looks like a lot in your area already is closing. We were sent some vague and scathing emails about Thursday so we'll definitely be closed... And by we I mean the kids. Staff is apparently going to have PD from 8-5, so that's a giant load of shit. No clue about tomorrow. They won't call anything tonight, because it's just too considerate. Nothing yet so I think we're still open. When they close both H and I get a phone call, a text, and an email so they better not close while I'm sleeping! I'm guessing they'll maybe close early tomorrow and all day Thursday. Ds1 just texted me to let him know before he goes to bed... like I have any control over that shit lol It looks like they're making all the staff go in in the areas that are closed. I'm sorry. That blows

Ds1 got sent home from school with pink eye. I took him in because I had a sneaking suspicion it was caused by an ear infection and I was right. So now I'm trying to force him to take augmentin but at least I don't have to hold him down for eye drops too. Daycare is closed tomorrow due to the wind chills, luckily my mom can take both boys so I'll be heading into work. I found out that the pediatrician and urgent cares are closed tomorrow too so I'm glad I took him tonight and avoided an ER bill!! good job mama! Sorry about the sick kiddo though 🙁

They have already closed our schools for tomorrow and the high is going to be a balmy 10. But I’m a little further south than most of you all.

Wow, sorry for all of the crappy weather you guys are dealing with! It must be so stressful trying to manage school closures on short notice when you're still supposed to be at work. It was 12c here today and sunny, so practically spring. PNW for the win. Also DH just read that my city is the sunniest in BC, so it's not even that gloomy here 😁
DD did pretty well today, finally at dinner she ate a bit better because I made her favorite cheese quesadilla with sour cream to dip 🤷 DH gave her a bath today and since she has kind of boy style hair he did a way better job of styling it than I ever do. It just always looks messy when I do it. Maybe it helps that she didn't go right to bed after though!

That blows We get a district call, text, and email, then I get a barrage of texts and GroupMe messages from people at school. It's so annoying. I suspect they'll cancel after school stuff today and be closed tomorrow.

Ugh to the pink eye, jules1614 and double UGH to the augmentin - it was such a struggle to get N to take it when he had the dual eye/ear infection back in the fall. It just looks like it tastes worse than chalk Hope he is feeling better soon!!! Last night I was all set to get annoyed that N woke up at 2/230ish for like the fourth night in a row... but his overnight diaper was like, at the pee-limit. So, never mind lol.

Last night we tried it in chocolate milk which worked last time but he was not a fan. This morning I mixed it in yogurt and he took it perfectly 🙌

So it's cold here, real temp is -20* wind chills down to -40*. But I gotta say, it doesn't feel *that* cold. Granted I wasn't out in it for long and I 100% support cancelling schools because kids shouldn't be waiting for buses or walking in this but I guess I thought I would instantly freeze and I didn't lol.

I'm not awake when he leaves at 6:30. We will see... teenagers never get cold lol

Dh has to work until 10pm tonight so I'm on my own for the hellish part of the day. Oh well. It's cold and windy here (though not nearly as cold as where some of you are lol).
I've been looking into prek programs for ds1 for the fall. There's a good one right in our neighborhood that is actually part of a private school so we shall see. Intellectually ds1 is there. Not sure about emotionally. But I have the first appointment with the therapist for him tomorrow. I'll see what she thinks. 🤷

Daycare is closed again tomorrow, thankfully my mom is willing to watch the boys again! Ds1 fought his augmentin hard again tonight.. it'll be a long 9 more days of this! I would pay serious money for someone to make augmentin taste better lol.

grumpycat, good luck tomorrow ❤️ jules1614, I'm worried we're headed towards antibiotics too since Jojo has a bit of a fever today after being fever free yesterday. Hopefully it gets easier as the days go on. She is the snottiest I've ever seen and also has a cough now. I hope our night goes ok, we have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning. I'm hitting the wall of exhaustion after being sick for nearly a month myself, work being busy with my manager away for a month and DD being sick now 😒 she slept ok last night, but coughed so much in her sleep I didn't sleep as well. I don't think I complain much, but I'm hoping February is an improvement!

Oh yuck to extended day. We just get PD days tacked on at the end of June. Today is our last snow day before they start adding back on.

We're at -19° ETA thatgolfb need not answer 🤣 -1 air temp and -21 wind chill. Not too bad. Honestly, and you know this too, we always get at least a couple of days like this every winter. Ain't no MN temps up in here. Did you see Jefferson and Lewis county are getting SIX FEET of snow right now? SIX FEET. On top of these crap temperatures.

Schools are closed again today. I went to my friend’s house yesterday and it didn’t feel *too* terrible, but I only spent like 30 seconds actually outside. She’s got a two month old baby so she’s definitely feeling cooped up. I brought them a bunch of food, bath bombs/face masks/a candle for my friend, and one little outfit for the babe ha. He was very sweet and it was fun to cuddle, but I surprisingly didn’t get baby fever!

And FX if you do need antibiotics, it's amoxicillin and not augmentin (amoxi is usually flavored - N's was bubblegum last time and he actually loved taking it lol)
