The kids had another snow day today. At this point that really isn't news or blog worthy. We all get excited over the first snow day maybe even the first couple, but at this point we are over it. Rachel has an AP class and is starting to stress over the missed class time. The teacher can control what she covers on in class exams, but the national AP exam material and test date are set in stone. Our schools already start later than most in the country and now the kids are missing instructional time due to the weather. I agree with the officials that school should be cancelled when the weather is bad. I would much rather be safe than sorry where our kids are concerned. I just understand the stress that it causes.
We had some ice last night and were on a two hour delay this morning. PK left around 4:00 am and said the roads were clear. Doug and Shannon were going to be out of town so we had already planned for Lori to be here tonight. They were also on the road early and decided the roads were clear enough that Lori could drive to school. We were shocked to receive the call around 8:00 am that school was going to be cancelled. Our county extends northward and my understanding is that many of those roads had significant ice.
Lori came over to our house early and I decided to run to the store to make sure we had things for lunch. I went bebopping down the stairs and the next thing I new, I was planted on the ground. So in this day and age what does one do when one flies off the steps? Take a selfie, of course!
I was really thankful that I took the fall on my backside and didn't hit my head on the bricks. I slowly moved my parts to make sure there was no serious damage and then looked around to make sure no one witnessed my slip. The part of the step that looks wet over my shoulder is actually ice. I guess that is why school was cancelled today!!
