Uh, Hooray? (I think).
I got up early to get Richard off to school and checked the closing reports online. I was happy to see that the local schools are closed. When I first checked at 0600, there was a two hour delay, now they are closed!

The temp is about 12° right now with 16 MPH winds, plus there is an inch or two of snow on the ground. So, instead of having school, the kids get another day off. It does not bother me. I didn't really want to drive them there today anyway. I try and always drive them when the weather is this terrible. If that makes me a push-over, so be it. I don't want them sicker than they already are.
The weather is supposed to stay the same all day with a high of 20° and more snow. Too bad we don't get a blizzard. At least that way, it would be a feeling of justification for the kids staying home. Right now, it just seems like we are keeping them home for no real reason. 20 years ago, it would be snowing and they would still have open school. I guess things change with time.
All of us have bad colds. I have completely lost my voice and have (if you can believe a little more of the compounding bad situations I am in)
two bloody ear drums and a bloody nose.Bridget thinks that are both ears are infected but who knows. I can hear fine. They're just not working at 100%.
William is coughing and Richard is even moving slow (but that might just be a case of apathy). Maryann is my daughter. She practally never gets sick. But, since she can annoy her brothers, she has to force the issue and push them to the side and sit between them.
I should be able to get some more work done around here now that I have some 'volunteers' sitting on the couch with the remotes glued to their hand(s).
