Tuesday the 16th of February and the kids are still not back to school. So far this month they have attended school for a total of 4 hours for Declan & Killi and 0 for Marg. Having the home would not be bad if the weather were better and we could get outside and do stuff. The weather is not and we spent alot of time inside as the only other option is shopping and boy does that get costly;-)
There seem to be snow showers or at least flurries everyday and melting is slow to happen! For a metro area with an average snow fall of about 15 inches, this winter at 50+ for everyone, has not been easy. Costs are adding up fast for communities. From employee overtime to plow and salt/sand for roads, costs are climbing high! And people's patience is very low!
I will be happy to get the kids off to school tomorrow, even if it is 2 hours late and Maggie will still be home. I will be happy mostly because I think they are incredibly bored and need a schedule back. I hope we miss the snow they are predicting for next week:)
