We threatened our son the other day with a cattle prod. Instead of becoming upset, he merely scoffed at us. “You know,” he said, “they don’t use cattle prods anymore. They use tasers.”
Adam and I are so trapped in the 20th century.
With school canceled, Adam’s office closed, and a snow emergency in effect, we’re guaranteed a nice quiet, sunny day tomorrow. I wouldn’t mind some real snow–my snow shoes are crying in the basement from lack of use and the kids have been looking longingly at their sleds. But I’m skeptical. Too much hype. Two feet of snow? We’ll see. But just in case, I did load up on hot chocolate and I’m steeling myself for the onslaught of “Can I go on the computer?” “Can I watch a show?” “Can I play Wii?” I plan on standing firm. The kids have valentines to make, a book report to write for the little one, a science project for the big one, and loads of books to read. So, yeah, we’ll be watching TV all day.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Snow day for us today, too :-/ Between Presiden’t Day, MLK Day, teacher work days, snow days, and the upcoming mid-winter break, I think my kids have been out of school more than they have been in! Ugh.
Can you believe it, Angela, between our two “Sandy” days and this, we are now up to June 26 as the last day of school!!! I’m with you on the “ugh” part!
