It is the third week, right? It’s throwing my whole week off but also I guess kind of fitting since it’s been a “short” week for a lot of people. I don't know where I am, so you are asking a lot. It's been too cold to matter. It's just one awful day.

DS has become a certified 4Townie. He constantly asks for “Mimi” (Meimei) and goes HAM singing to the 4 Town songs. It is hilarious watching him wave his toy in the air like a lighter to the slow song (I have no idea where he even got this, but his general signature dance move is one arm in the air), and sing “come on! Oh my oh my”.
I gotta get him some merch.

I made myself put on real clothes and go into the office today vs working at home again. The week feels weird long and short simultaneously.

It’s been a really weird month. Started back at school in the middle of the week. One normal week. Then throw in MLK plus an ice day and we are back to starting the week on a Wednesday. Moral of the story? I have no idea what day it is, barely know the month, feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, but somehow it’s the end of January. Ok then.

It's usually within a minute for us. People really say it takes weeks?! ETA DH, our expert, says she may have a credit in her account that she has to convert to/purchase Robucks. It's confusing! Okay that worked immediately. That is the dumbest fucking process. 😂😂😂 If this hadn't been answered, I was ready for my tirade on this. Easier to just buy them straight on the account but obviously people gifting them aren't going to do that!

We are getting another 2-4 inches of snow this evening. I thought for sure dance would be canceled but they are just closing early, after our class. It's going to be a fun drive 😬 And my dumbass scheduled a grocery pick up for after dance because it wasn't supposed to get this bad so I have to drive into town anyway 🤦🏻♀️ Fun times. I'm so over this snow. And then tomorrow it's back to wind chill advisories so we may have a delay.

We already have a flexible instruction day called for tomorrow as we're supposed to get more snow overnight and all morning. My family is also flying to Orlando for a Universal trip tomorrow evening, so I'm worried flights are going to be messed up, but trying to stay hopeful it won't be a total nightmare.

Neat.

DS had school today 🙌🏻. It was SO quiet here. It snowed all day but like super pretty delicate wispy snow and no wind. It was so lovely.

They are calling for 4-6” tomorrow. Schools have already closed. Some districts are doing asynchronous or virtual and people are complaining. Our district is not doing either and people are complaining. I’m staying off social media for the next 48 hours. Haha

We already have a 2hr delay for tomorrow. I don't think it's supposed to snow anymore but it's so windy the snow is blowing and making the roads crap. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up canceling.
Then next week it's supposed to be in the low 30s and rain/freezing rain so that will be just great.

Haha Our school never got set up to do virtual or anything so we don't have that option. I'm sure they are kicking themselves now. They are already stressed because due to all the snow days the past two weeks we are probably going to have to have school past memorial day. The horror 🙄 Strangely I haven't seen much on Facebook complaining about the schools but people are very upset about their Amazon packages. I think Amazon has given up temporarily on deliveries, lol.

DS1 has another snow day and so does SS. The boys are super excited since it’s SS’s 13th birthday today!
They’ve got plans of sledding, gaming and hot chocolate. We moved our plans for dinner with family to Sunday evening with the snow forecasted but I’ll still make something fun.

We have a 2 hour delay here but STBXH is keeping the kids home. Our school has a very large hill that he got stuck on yesterday, and a slightly smaller hill he almost got stuck on again. School drop off and pick up has been a mess, on Wednesday the drop off line took an hour and a half. With a 2 hour delay it's just not worth the hassle. I am very grateful for my new 2 mile commute or else I would be calling in today, too.

It's not snowing here yet so school is proceeding as normal. We aren't expected to get all that much snow today, maybe up to 3" but it's supposed to start at around 10am and continue all afternoon and into the evening. So we shall see if they switch to early release. This week has been so wacky. I really feel for all the parents who struggle with childcare arrangements because of these last minute changes.

We went from extreme cold and ice this week to possible flooding next week. I really cannot.

The kids have school today, which is great, except that I was expecting them to have a cold weather day. I was going to use that as an excuse to use a sick day, because I have had sciatic nerve pain for a couple of days now. I worked through it yesterday, so I know I CAN, but standing for seven hours with what feels like a cramp in your entire leg is not comfortable. Trying to convince myself to use my small amount of sick time for something I know I can work through is hard.

We have an early release and I’m nervous. It’s already coming down and I feel like dismissal is going to be a shit show with the snow.

My daughter’s school is out of commission for 4-6 weeks. They’re setting up a temporary campus at a local community college 😳
This storm was no joke.
Really hoping DS building opens next week.

Foam rolling my bum muscles is the only thing that brings me any relief.
