NO!!! School is cancelled tomorrow

We have been on Christmas break for the last two weeks. Then last night we get snow and ice and now school is cancelled tomorrow! My boys are at each other's necks, I'm not sure if I can take anymore.

Secondary to that is that tomorrow I have a day full of MS scheduled. I haven't shopped in over two weeks to be home with them, and scheduled a full day when they are supposed to go back. Oh, the frustration all around!!!

I need my Mommy! She always fixes everything, I'm sure she will save the day for me!

Our dumb schools had the kids off from the 23rd to the 2nd. Yes, they were supposed to go back for 2 days, Jan 2, 3. Then this coming week they have a waiver day (stupid nonsense) scheduled for Tuesday the 7th, the following week will be a day off for MLK day. I give up!

My son went back on Thursday the 2nd, then Friday was cancelled because of snow. Tomorrow more likely than not will be cancelled. They already have Tuesday off and probably won't have school Wednesday. Go back Thurs, Fri and off again Monday.

Just go to school, I am so tired of the messes, the fighting, the arguing, the messes, the fighting, the arguing, the messes. Lol!

I agree with EVERYTHING you just said! Go back to school already! Maybe I can get the house in a semblance of order.

When my daughter was younger, my favorite commercial was the back to school commercial set to the tune "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." LOL.

My daughter is now in college & they have an entire MONTH off. She is driving me crazy because if she's not doing nothing with her friends, she is bothering me. I can't believe they have a entire month off--especially when they're freshman, living in the dorm. Their jobs on campus are on hiatus and they can't get a job at home for just a month. She won't MS even when I find jobs that she would be perfect for.

Don't you guys long for the days when parents were allowed to beat their children

LSTL---->You know that is a hot topic

If I were being my smart-ass self, I would say those days are not over. However, since I don't want DHS to show up at my door, I will refrain.

Probably not ok to say you can beat little brown dogs who chew up the furniture either.

I have no problem reminding my kids who the parent is with a quick smack to the rump. No where near beating, but the tears flow just the same.

I may be in the minority, but I actually enjoyed having my kids home over vacation and won't mind at all if school's cancelled tomorrow! They were at each other's throat till they went back on Thursday (yeah, we had to go back for Thursday and Friday, too, which seemed kind of stupid to me). Then we had off on Friday due to weather, and they were wonderful! They shoveled snow, without hardly complaining at all, and I fixed them hot cocoa when they came in, and they were so good the rest of the day! I think when they went back to school on Thursday, it made them realize how good they had it at home over vacation....

I'm not sure they'll close school tomorrow, although it's awful here right now with freezing rain. Supposed to warm up by tomorrow so the ice melts, but they said that for today, too, and it never did. Warm up or melt! If they go tomorrow morning, they may have early dismissal, as a storm is supposed to come in the afternoon.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I'm guessing they'll be home on Tuesday! And we'll make cookies.... As long as they stay busy, they don't fight too much (knock on wood!).

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

I love it when I just had my son. Then my daughter came along. They are 10 years apart and fight constantly. I would have never thought that with the age difference there would be so much to fight about.

She calls it Hot Cocoa, he calls it Hot Chocolate...so lets fight. She isn't allowed in his room, so she stands outside of the door telling him he should be cleaning his room. She is quite the instigator, he is quite the arguer. I would like to go outside and let them go until there is only one standing, but I think the little one would win.

The are best when they are outside in the snow together, going to be way to cold for that the next few days.

Yep, Mom to the rescue, she's going to keep them for me tomorrow.

I have probably spent the last three months worth of MS wages paying for the entertainment over the last couple of weeks. Ice skating, Incredible Pizza twice, movies, pottery making, aquarium. Three days making cookies/brownies/fudge. We have stayed busy!! I have got to get back to work!!

My boys fight about EVERYTHING!! Absolutely everything is a competition. Who can eat the fastest, who can eat the most, who can run faster, who can throw the ball farther, who can shoot more targets, the dogs love me more. Everything! I do let them duke it out sometimes with boxing gloves, it's a pretty fair fight, the little one is scrappy. He will be beating up the older one within a year.

My boys are almost six years apart, and I also thought it was enough of a difference so they wouldn't fight. How wrong I was! They go through phases--they're best friends for awhile, then fight like crazy, then friends, etc. Overall, they were really pretty good over vacation.

And they're great when they're both outside in the snow, too! It's great to see my older one making snowmen with the little one, although the weather's been so weird there hasn't been any good snowman or snowball-fight weather! And not going to happen any time soon, either, it looks like.

And we're cancelled again tomorrow. Fortunately I don't have any shops scheduled. Then we are supposed to get a boatload of snow Weds. Hopefully will not be out all week.

We homeschooled. We had many interesting activities. Our sons had little in common but they didn't fight. They had maybe four fights in their young lives. I enjoyed having them near me all the time even when we were doing different things. I told them that when they are grown, I would like it if we were next-door neighbors. I told them to save a place on their front porch for my rocking chair. I don't know what my husband has told them. So far, that hasn't happened. It always made me sad to hear parents of children in public school say in front of their children that they wished they would go back to school. My parents never treated me that way.

Some activities for the kids to do while still on break while I am waiting for them to go back.

I think we are going to do these tomorrow.

That is awesome, I think we'll try a couple as well!

I loved having my kids home. No lunches to make, clothes to wash, alarms to set!
I guess I sound lazy--I prefer to think that I live on a different schedule.

My daughter stopped by over the weekend. She got the call that her office was closed yesterday
and today so everyone was to work from home. She stayed over and we worked at the kitchen table
together...and ate..and made fun of the contestants on "TPIR" who don't know how to play the games.
Good times.....Then I packed up dinner leftovers and her Dad took her home. Nice weekend.

I love this story! When I was a little girl I watched that show religiously and always said I was going to go on it someday. My Mom and I planned a trip to CA in 2000 to go to a taping, and while we were there Bob Barker was in the hospital and they cancelled taping. I was so disappointed! Then we planned to do it again in 2003 and we did make it. It was an all day ordeal, and the magic completely died for me after being it the studio, it was so tiny and cheesy! Of course they didn't call our names, but we were on the front row clapping and jumping around like idiots the whole time.

She just retired, I should go over there and watch that video with her! Definitely good times

No school again tomorrow.

Today we had WW3 in our house. My son (14) decided to fart on his sister's (4) teddy bear, after he shoved it down the back of his pants between the first and second pair he had on. Lots of screaming after that.

Right now, everyone is in bed. They are really beautiful when they are asleep. They still look like the babies I brought home from the hospital. I will enjoy the quiet a few more hours before I carry myself to bed, I almost have my hearing back from the great war.

ROTFLMAO!!

Been there, done that and then, before you know it, they're gone.

Not that that is a bad thing, mind you. :-)

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Best advice I ever got was from a dog trainer. He said,
"When the dog misbehaves and does something bad, like chew up your sock, etc. get a newspaper or one of those thick catalogs like L.L.Bean and roll it up real tight and then ... hit yourself on the head with it! You're are doing something wrong."

I wonder if it applies to children. I think dogs are little children that never grow up.

Never hit little children ... not for any reason ... it does irreparable harm.

Never hit animals either.
