Due to hazardous road conditions here most of the school districts made the decision to close today. I actually got the call early yesterday afternoon, but I never told the kids. I let them go toned at regular school night bed times and told them this morning that the call came last night after they were sleeping. husband is staying home from work today, too. He says he spent all weekend shoveling and wanted a day, so at least he's home with me.
difficult child was actually pretty good during the storm. I could see on Friday that he was going to start with easy child because easy child wanted to stop stop playing with difficult child (they had been playing together for 2 hours at that point) and wanted to play on Club Penguin, but just as difficult child was starting to complain that easy child "being mean" to him husband walked in the door. Talk about good timing! After that, difficult child never bothered easy child for the rest of the night.
He made it through the rest of the weekend with only one outburst, which was Sunday when the two kids were playing outside in the snow, but other than that he managed to keep himself together. He was outside in the snow a lot, and he even tried to help shovel, and realized that shoveling really heavy, wet snow is a lot harder than he thought it was.
So, I'm hoping that the town gets the roads cleared so that the schools are able to open tomorrow, but at least today I don't have to worry about anyone getting anywhere.
