The girls were off school Monday for MLK day, Wednesday for ice, and today for cold (I guess).
That is just too much time off for us. Yesterday we did workbooks in the morning, built satellites, erupted volcanoes, and learned about the layers of the earth. We had a picnic in the foyer for lunch and did the dishes. We used Google Earth to visit all of our friends and families houses and practiced writing our first and last names. We shoveled and had a snow fight after dinner and then the girls each read a book with Daddy.
I need to think about how we will fill our time today and my God these children better be back to school on Monday or else.
My kids like to watch tv.
ReplyDeleteI feel totally inadequate right now. I'd write more but we are watching sponge bob and I feel even worse.
Maybe it's because my mom didn't do stuff like this and instead she popped antidepressants, and my dad and step mom were too busy throwing killer parties to do this stuff, so anything I do that does not involve drug dealers, learning math at the village pony keg (which is the better price per ounce on vodka), or unnecessary trips to the doctor/ER makes me look like Mother of the Year.
Until I read this. Crap. Back to sponge bob.
And we have not had off school- just the ice day this week. Is it just that in mid to southern ohio they are not prepared for large amounts of snow?
Ha! Well let me tell you what we've done today....not a damn thing. I made the girls clean their rooms and that is it. No inspiration. Yesterday they were bored so I got creative. Today they are playing together nicely and I haven't been needed for anything other than feeding them...yet, and I am not complaining.
ReplyDeleteBut so help me God if school is cancelled Monday I will lose it. I don't understand why they cancel it all the time, pansies.
The cancellations have a lot to do with the rural kids and walking kids. It's a liability issues.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't buy the liability issue thing. Students in much colder areas still go to school even though they walk or live in rural areas. The only thing different is that if school was cancelled everytime they had 4" of snow in those areas they would be making up lost days until July.
ReplyDeleteI understand places in the south that close and freak the F out when it snows because they are not equipped to deal with it, but this is OH. It snows. Time to move on.
