Snowed In

When my PM kindergartner's bus was running late, I panicked and called the school. They told me to be patient, it's probably just the weather slowing them down. I knew I couldn't drive her because our van can't make it up the driveway yet, through all the snow, even though it's been plowed, it's still too slippery. Also, school was delayed 2 hours to start with, which means no AM K, and the bus she takes is a mini bus that mostly drops off the AM kids and then picks up mine after wards. I thought they might have missed her. Luckily, they were patient with me and called the bus company, then called me back to assure me they were coming. Sure enough, it came, 20 minutes late. Later, inside, my hands and face were burning as they thawed to room temperature. I wonder how my little one was, if she was burning inside that warm bus riding to school. Oh well, she didn't want to miss today, it's her last day before the holiday, and she missed 4 days last week from being sick and then a snow day.


My 2nd grader volunteered me to plan a craft for their holiday party tomorrow. I finally found one simple enough that she liked, and now I have to go shopping for the supplies. Since I'm snowed in at the moment, I"ll have to wait until my husband comes home from work so I can take the truck, and it's 4 wheel drive engine! Some day, when I don't have lots of kids in tow, I'm going to buy me a jeep!

  1. I hope everyone else is feeling well and no one else gets sick! JK and I have been sick too! I actually just called my doctor this afternoon asking for another antibiotic. My head is still killing me from all the pressure! I saw hubby at church yesterday....missed ya!

    I had to plan a craft for Rand's party today. I settled on a popsicle stick snowflake with buttons glued on it. Cute and easy. Hope you get out to get your supplies! If you want company let me know...I'll meet ya since I"ll probably be running out to buy a gift or two later this evening! :)
