[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 17703, member: 1697"] well, our schools did NOT cloe when it was so bitter cold out but...they called school off today. We got around a foot yesterday, but we did have school here yeserday altho some of the schools in our tate did not have school yesterday cuz of Lincolns b-day and some did not have school cuz of snow. Our school dist very very rarely calls off school. Worse, our school does not report to the TV and radio in a timely manner and most of the time when they DO call off school they do not get word out until most everyone is already AT school dropping off kids. (our elem begins at 7 am) Last Mon? we had bitter cold, and my car would not start so I could not get easy child to school, so I called her in sick (weather is not an excuseable absence, neither is not having a ride- but she IS recoverin rom mono.....so I have some leway) BUT school called me later Mon to tell me they were NOT going to excuse her absence, so I DID get a docs note. (otherwise it was onna e a $500 fine for "cutting" 10 classes) Well, PCs bfs mom drives a bus and at 5 am she called to say she knew we had no school today... it took till 10 am for it to show up on the emergency closings list and TV and radio. We got around a foot yesterday and during the nite we had 50 MPH winds. we have a new foot and the winds are still 45 MPH and it is supposed to continue to snow and stay this windy till midnite. Sadly the bitter cold broke thru the new medications I began last spring and I am in my first flare since then, so I cannot shovel. Oldest difficult children boyfriend came yesterday and shoveled some, (usually we do not get shoveled out at all, but thats when it is just 2-4 inches) and this morning my lil guy did his best, but he came back in to say as fast as he could shovel, it filled back in. and as fast as he brushed off car, it got covered again......so then PCs boyfriend came over and helped my lil guy and it was kind of clear, LOL, but it is filling back in yet again. ANd it did finally go above zero yesterday finally, tonite it is supposed to once again drop back down. Darn. My apologies if this posts more than once. It is a technical glitch between the new site and my antiquated Web TV. And update on kittens? The "sick" one continues to drink formula every 2 hours and the other 2 are growing like crazy and they ALL keep us ALL very happily busy.... Becuz of the dog, and the sick lil one it is more work than I remember kittens to be, BUT it is also so much joy and happiness. And my kids have surprised me happily with how well they are taking care of the new "babies" Truth be told it is easy child who is least "maternal" Go figure. [/QUOTE]
