Guess what....SNOW DAY!!!

We got the call at around 6AM that they were calling a 2 hour delay and then around 7:30AM we got the call that they were cancelling school! Ugh.....even my kids are getting tired of snow days (me too)!!! Here is the weird thing though - by 1:30pm it was in the mid 40's!! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Total waste of a snow day!

So we didn't do much all day - kids played and fought and bickered - not excessively - just normal everyday sibling squabbles. I made chocolate chip pancakes for lunch and they were fantastic!! Everyone gobbled them right up! Other then that not much else happened - I'm sure I worked on PL and the kids watched TV and played video games. I'm sure I made dinner and I'm sure I laid in bed and read! Then around 7PM it was time for showers for Little man, Gman and R. I couldn't bring myself to bath CJ, I just hate giving baths so I'll just hit him in the morning! Then it was off to bed with them all and I was soon to follow!!!

Snow day!!

Today started at 5:30AM with the school calling a 2 hour delay! Then at about 7:30AM they called to say school was closed - so another day off for the kiddos, making this a four day weekend!!! The weather is seriously crappy this morning and I had to go into town at 9AM for Cs parent/teacher conference!! I wasn't going to go but at the very last minute I decided to just suck it up and GO!!! It went great and C is doing so well at school! Then I ran to Mickey's and grabbed a frappe and some pies and then headed home! C is feeling better and even ate some apple sauce today and some toast - but he is still not 100%!! I spent the day working on my Project Life album and on laundry! I also snow blow the driveway and shoveled the steps! UPS was suppose to deliver me something but the bastards didn't show - assholes!!! Then after dinner I folded some laundry and cleaned the livingroom and vacuumed!! At 7PM I started getting the boys showered, I got C in bed and then I got the bigger boys in bed!! Now I'm waiting for daddy to get home (he had to head to Ohio for pizza) and I'm working on updating the blog while I'm listening to some scrapbooking pod casts! Now I'm gonna hit submit and head to my bed and read!!!

Snow Day!

Today started out with the phone ringing at 5:30AM when the school's automated system called us to tell us school was closed, well T didn't make it to the phone on time so it they called back 10 minutes later!! Hahaha!! We kind of figured it was coming because we had a storm during the night: ice and snow!! Boo!! So we all got to laze in bed this morning and just relax. The boys had cereal for breakfast. I had frozen waffles and daddy got up and "shoveled" the drive way (he used the snow blower) but it was slow going because the snow was so wet and heavy that it kept clogging the pipe and he had to keep stopping and clear it out!! Hahaha!! He finally got done and got ready for work and left! I finally woke the girls up at 10AM and told them they had like 5 minutes to eat breakfast!! Then the rest of the day I spent cleaning my office.

Cutting box tops. Cleaning out my email. Cleaning up my download folder in ACDSee. I had S clean the living room and I also worked on laundry off and on all day! I had to wash C's sheets because we have decided to try and night train him - we started that about 2 nights ago, tonight is the 3rd night. The first night he woke himself up and we took him pee so he was dry that morning but the 2nd night he fell asleep early and when we tried to get him to go pee he wailed! So I just put him to bed and then when we went to bed we tried to get him up again and again he wailed so I decided I'd rather wash sheets then listen to him cry, well he woke up wet this morning and then I remembered how much I hated washing and changing sheets!!! Hahaha!! Then I also washed Little man and Gman's clothes. The kids were mostly good - the boys of course fought but that's nothing new!! I made bacon scrambled eggs for dinner and everyone had a toasted peanut butter bagel. Then after dinner I finished cutting out the rest of the kid's valentines stuff and then started gluing bags together! At 6:30PM I started getting the boys showered and bathed and as 8PM rolled around I got them in bed - which went pretty smoothly! Then back in my office to finish gluing - I got all of Gman's owl bags glued so I can finishes them up tomorrow!!

Daddy came home about 9:15PM and brought me a meatball sub from Sheetz!! Now I'm done writing this and I'm gonna hit the hay!! It's been a long day!!!

Snow day!!!

It was so nice just laying around this morning and not rushing!! I think I was in bed till like 8:30AM! I figured it would be another lazy day but that changed real quick when the kids started fighting!! So I called them all up stairs and we started to CLEAN!!! We cleaned the living room - I even dusted. The girls wiped down all the walls & cabinets in the kitchen. Then they wiped down the hall walls and the basement stairwell walls and cleaned the mud room. The 3 boys and I cleaned their room and S mopped the kitchen floor for me! It was so nice once it was all done!! Then I worked on laundry all day and worked on sorting some photos of S. The kids were hit and miss with the fighting!! Seemed like Little man would cause problems with both little boys! I made cowboy casserole for dinner and then it was time to get showers done. We got a call from the school district at about 7:30PM - 2 hour delay for tomorrow! Then at 8PM I put everyone to bed!! T got home at about 8:30ish or 9PM and I laid in my bed and read till I just couldn't keep my eyes open any more!!!

OMG!!

What a cold cold day!!! The kids were off school today because our temperatures were below zero and way below zero with the wind blowing - like -34 degrees below zero!! It was a miserable day for everyone!! The kids did nothing but fight and scream and cry!! I worked on laundry all day and in between that cuddled in my bed and read!! Daddy had to be out in this miserable weather and spent all day in Greensburg because his store there had frozen pipes!! He came home at about 5PM and brought stuff to make dinner! The kids continued to fight all night and FINALLY at 7PM dad started showers and he throw everyone in bed at 8PM!!! I climbed back in my bed - which T had hooked up my heated blanket in and snuggled down!! I read for a while and then it was off to dream land for me!!!
