We are home with yet another day off of school. This is really beginning to get a little ridiculous...and we are only a month into the "official" season of winter! This one actually isn't that much snow, but it fell at EXACTLY the time needed to create a day off of school.
Of course everyone was off yesterday for Martin Luther King, Jr. day, so we are all on day four of being home together. The hard part about this snow is that the temps are in the single digits (and going to be getting colder) so the kids can't even get outside and enjoy the snow. We are all STUCK inside for another day. This is also our last "free" snow day of the year before we have to start making them up. Fortunately we are scheduled to be out in May anyway, so regardless of how many more we take we shouldn't have to go too far into June.
Maybe some board games and cooking baking in our future today? I know that our day will include some praying. I've just learned my grandmother's sister has been rushed to the e/r with stroke symptoms. I adore Aunt Margie, and she and my grandmother are so much alike. In fact, their birthdays are only two days apart with Aunt Margie being four years older...she just turned 87 two weeks ago. They lost their brother nearly 20 years ago, and both have lost their husbands. I just can't stand the thought that Grandma should have to grieve again so soon after losing her son so recently.
