Can you hear that...

I'm sitting here on my couch watching the news. Suddenly the school closings start to stream across the bottom of the screen and yes, all my boys will be home tomorrow fighting over Wii remotes and eating me out of house and home. No, there will be no snow or precipitation of any kind for that matter, but...it's cold, you heard me right, it's cold. Okay, so it's very cold, the coldest it's been in about 6 years but c'mon! You can almost hear Minnesota and Canada laughing at us. It's something like 50 below up there for Pete's sake! I think they're probably envying our 2 degrees in fact. Isn't that flip-flop weather up there?
Oh well, I guess I better break the news to the kids. Bless their hearts, they'll be so disappointed, oh wait, that's me who'll be so disappointed. Pray for me!

Seriously that is what I hate about schools here in TN....So lame!!! My hubby is originally from MN where there was REAL snow and REAL school closings...He laughs at the madness here. My other fave last yr was they closed school due to sickness. I have never heard or seen that before.

Shoot, in PA we spent days like this walking to school barefoot uphill both ways in bermuda shorts.

Keep in touch - we need to be available to talk each other down!

Love ya girl!

I know you guys are not from here, but when i was a young one we had serious snow every year after christmas until march or april.... so the snow days are built in why not use them!
If you would send your kids to HCA you would never have to worry about this.. I do believe if the building was gone they would still find a way to have school...
