The highways are still shut down from the storm. I wanted to leave early today but that's not going to happen. I'm hoping I can leave by lunch time but I'm not finding any information on when they expect to open the highways back up. My sister had to go to work but her kids daycare closed today so it's my BIL, me and four kids just hanging out. My parents are at a hotel but will be coming here shortly and then we will caravan back home when we're able.

Everyone around us lost power but we are still on! It's a February miracle! The boys' school is closed though

Good luck jules1614! And yay quinn, nice to get some good luck. Morning grumpycat. DD is still sleeping at ten to 7. I need to do my hair and makeup so I can get her up shortly. I'll send her breakfast to daycare and she can eat there. She's been waking and crying a lot in the night the past few, so I want her to get as much sleep as she needs. I'm not quite sure what is causing it since she had slept through the night the previous two! I think we're pretty much down to one nap with some quiet time in the morning, but her crappy sleep nights have happened on both two and one nap nights 🤷

My in laws just left. I predict a day of ds1 wanting to play independently and ds2 bugging him with love lol. I got a new desk this weekend so I'm excited to get it set up in my room and then I have some work to do this evening.

I'm at work. DS1 didn't want to get up this morning so long story short he got dressed in the car at the babysitters and I was late to work. Oh well. I've got an all day meeting in a bit that I'm not looking forward to so this will be a long day.

Another snow day. We're going to be in school until July at this rate. But we're getting dumped with snow and 75mph winds, so it's totally warranted. The wind had me up all night so I'm super sleepy and definitely not complaining. I'm on my fourth cup of coffee and struggling to keep my eyes open.

I follow his cues and base it off what we need to do that day. Like if we have somewhere to be early afternoon I dont have him take a morning nap and just put him down for his afternoon nap earlier.

Ds3 was scared from the wind and came into bed with us at 3am. He poked my face every 30mins asking if he can have breakfast

This is me as well. Depending on when E is up for the day will depend on if he has one or two naps. At daycare, he only gets one but he might nap before going. At home, he often gets 2 naps. They vary in length and time of day. He's not a good night sleeper so he definitely needs sleep during the day.

Today is the first day of extended days. Yuck. I won't get home until 5:00 now. I didn't even get to see E this morning when I left because he was still sleeping. So basically, I get to see my kids for less than 3 hours a day for the next 25 school days.

B only gets one nap at daycare and we keep to the same schedule on weekends best we can. He normally is down 12-2 at school but on weekends he’s usually spent by 11:30.
But he sleeps most nights 7pm-6am with one wake up which is nice.
Minus lately when he’s been a hot mess between molars and a cold.
Do we get a break after molars or straight to canines?

Ds2 does one nap mid day (usually 12-230, today he's going down now -- 1230). He sleeps 630/7-8am with one wake up (but sleeps through the night every so often). He was up chatting for about an hour last night. 🤷 He started walking backwards this morning. His sleep is definitely interrupted lately by developmental stuff plus he is a drool fountain. He's teething like crazy.

We're straddling the one or two nap line as well. DD1 went to one nap on her own basically the second she hit a year old. I feel like this indecisive nap situation is much more annoying to work around.

And the wind was much quieter on her side of the house.

Is that all you have left of your school year though?? NY gets out so freaking late.

The 25 extended days is equal to 5 full days. Plus, we are changing a workshop day to a student day. That means we gain back 6 of our 9 snow days.

I’m at work. Day 3/4. Ugh I hate days. We have some wicked wind but no snow. Lots of flooding around the city because of a bizarre rainstorm yesterday.
Is it bedtime yet?

But we don’t ever have to worry about making up snow days so I guess that’s a trade off?

Ours is 170, which is why we have to make up days.

Well happy Monday to all! I did not want to go to work today because I am exhausted and my stomach hurts, BUT I came in and saw an email that I (and everyone at my hospital with my certification) am getting an across the board 15% raise effective immediately! So exciting!

We are also straddling 1-2 naps. As PPs said, I follow her cues. She has been a cranky mess lately between her mild cold and maybe teething, and just generally being a baddler.
