Okay, the first time was fun. The second time not so bad. But today too? School is canceled for the third time this year today! What is wrong with the state of Illinois that they close school all the time? It's not like Chicagoland doesn't know how to deal with snow. When we moved here, we wondered why the fire hydrants all had 3 foot poles with flags on top--it was so they could be found in the snow! I grew up in Utah and had only 2 snow days in my entire school life! Also, I know they probably do it for safety reasons, but if that's their reasoning, they should keep school closed permanently! Yesterday, Matt's school bus was hit by another car. (school was not canceled yesterday due to weather or slippery conditions) All the kids were okay, but the police had to write a report, check out all the kids, and then clear the bus to leave the scene. Those kids were on the bus for and hour and a half! Matt got home and said, "Guess why we were so late?" He thought it was amusing, so at least no harm was done! So today, we will all stay home and mom will go just a little crazy.

No, no, no!!! I hate snow days as the mother. I feel your pain, seriously. Plop them down in front of the telly and read a good book.
I wish I had a snow day....I guess I could just not go into work. Hmmm...
I totally agree. Ryan was sent home early from work today. So unlike Utah!
My kids are off track right now. With the cold we've been inside most of it and I am going CRAZY! I'm so sick of cleaning up after them :)
Oh my goodness I feel your pain... we had four snow days in a row in Spokane and really only one of them was justified. We are still just living with a giant ice rink for roads... Utah knew how to take care of the snow :) I am so glad you found me. It was great hearing from you and I plan on continuing to check out your blog. Let's catch up!
