Ridiculously Cold

For the first time EVER!!! my kids were late and missed the bus on Wednesday last week. I was supposed to have a 7:00 drop-off, and they were my alarm. They didn't come until 8.... I had another daycare parent get here at 7:45 to get her granddaughter and my girls on the bus; that was my wake-up call. Luckily she offered to take my girls to school that day. THAT was awesome.....

So today, it's NEGATIVE 15 degrees. EVERY day I have kids with snowpants start getting ready at 7:42, then at 7:45 the rest of the kids get dressed and ready for the bus; then we go out. Evidently today the bus driver was a little ahead of schedule. We stood out there in the freezing cold for 15 minutes before I decided to warm up the Durango and have us sit in it. We sat at the bus stop for a few minutes before I decided that we were late, not the bus.

I took the kids to school. OMG, I do NOT miss having to get up and go to work outside the home every day. It's too damn cold for me!!!!

There, my whine fest is done......

Got 10 inches yesterday....

Of snow. Honestly, who needs 10 inches of snow in less than a 24 hour period????? My front yard is up to my chest, and taller than Taylor.

Anyways...... We went to the Dutcher's for the week-end for Christmas. It's late, but Tyler (Jon's nephew) came home from California. I think that boy is trying to get a ton of seeing friends in the week that he's home. It's good to see him, though. It's funny to think that he's a "grown man" now. He's only 19, but to see him living on his own many, many states away is strange. What happened to that cute little 4 year old little boy who got embarassed because he said hi to me and called me by Jon's ex-girlfriend??? lmao OMG, that was funny!!

So I've come home and am working on paperwork, billing, etc. Trying to get ready for the week. I'm 2 weeks worth of themes behind; I really need to get that moving. I like to be prepared for the week to actually teach those little heathens something. So, I guess I'll get moving........
