Let it snow

So I'm still not in the Christmas spirit, but we've got snow. I love snow. Love it like I love books and yarn. See that's serious love.

Shockingly the kiddies had a snow day today. It barely snowed 6 inches on Saturday night/Sunday morning but the city couldn't clear the side streets in time for school on Monday. Now I find this very strange. I remember just a few years back when the city used to be much more efficient in snow removal and non-school closing. We would get 6 inches dumped after midnight on a school night and schools would still be opened---typically the only ones in the area. Don't mind me, I had two kids at home today. Sadly the teenager acted worse than the 3 year old (who is desperately missing his mommy--8 days down, 6 to go).

Not sure if I've already mentioned this, but mommy dearest is in Qatar visiting her sister and niece for 14 days. Since I'm home due to the complete lack of a payable job, I can easily fill in for preschool watching duty. It's fun, but stressful. Especially now that my other sister has gone to London for ~ 10 days.

You know that sounds a lot more glamorous than the mundane reality of my everyday existence. But isn't that always the case?
