TKers: Six threads under and still killin' time....

[D&DDisney]

Is that why no one else is checking in here????

 

[MagiKitty]

I don't know why we're being ignored...is it an after-effect of the race?

 

[D&DDisney]

Come out, come out wherever you are!!!!!!

We've got chocolate!!!!

 

[MagiKitty]

D...are your kids off for tomorrow's holiday?

 

[D&DDisney]

D...are your kids off for tomorrow's holiday?

No. DH is off and so am I but the kids have school.

Are your schools off?

 

[MagiKitty]

I don't know...but it just occurred to me that it is a holiday. With the snow coming, it'll be an extra long weekend!

Just got back from Walmart. Missed the end of the race but watching it now before we turn on the Olympics.

Kids have off again tomorrow. Not sure if I'm going to make it.

I haven't checked the weather forecast. I'm afraid to.

When are you getting that snow??? Hope you bought plenty of adult beverages to numb you. Kids could be home for quite a while.

It's suppose to come on Monday night. We are on the border of 1-3 and 3-6. It better be 1-3. And bite your tongue about the kids being home even longer. They haven't been in school since last Tuesday.

If they change the snow totals to even more, DH will be making a stop on the way home from work tomorrow.

 

[MagiKitty]

OMG JOCA---since last Tuesday????? You deserve a medal!

 

[D&DDisney]

Are they in danger of having to make up days in June like Whgrn's kids?
Now that would stink!!!!!

 

[JOCAmom]

Yeah, it's been real peachy here.

What's on the Olympics right now?

 

[MagiKitty]

Pairs figure skating!

 

[D&DDisney]

I should go watch that. And get the kids to bed. DS7 hasn't been feeling too well today. Complains of sore thoat. No fever though.

I had my parents and my brother here for dinner to celebrate DS's birthday. We ordered in from Cheesecake Factory. When we went to put it up, the place was mobbed. They had a 2 1/2 hour wait for a table--AND PEOPLE WERE WAITING!!! I'm sorry, that's just crazy! Even the line to pickup your food was long, we were there over 15 minutes just picking up. Didn't love my salad, but it was ok. DS loved his pork chops, so that was nice. I'd made an apple pie for dessert, and that got rave reviews.

We are supposed to get 1-3 inches. One site says just a little over an inch. I hope that's correct!

So, tomorrow I have to go for dialysis training with my Dad. I totally forgot when I scheduled it that the kids have no school tomorrow. Our regular sitter is sick, so that's out. BFF's kids have school, so that's out. Going to my Mom's is out--she wouldn't do it, and the kids would refuse to go anyway. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to leave them here alone for that long (probably 10:30 til 4 or 4:30) If they were ANY other kids, I wouldn't hesitate. They ARE 13 and 14, after all. I'm just afraid they'll fight and/or get into some sort of trouble. I suppose I really don't have a choice. I'll have to threaten major consequences if they don't behave, and big rewards if they do. Pray for me!

If they have to make up days, it will only be until June 21st. DD8 would be thrilled because it would be the first time that she would be in school for her birthday. Anyways, they haven't said anything about make up days yet. They do have a few off school days that they can use as make up days instead of going longer.

The kids all have one heck of a cold here. Hope DS is getting it either.

Wendy, Happy Birthday to DS. DD13's is next weekend.

If you were closer, I'd tell ya to bring the kids here. What's 2 more in my house of chaos.

Thanks Michele. Trust me, you WOULD notice the difference! If it was just DD, you'd never even know she was there, but DS is a different story...

 

[JOCAmom]

My brain is about mush right now after having the kids home all week. I've gotten really good at blocking them all out.

Good morning ladies! I hope you all didn't stay up too late watching the Olympics.

Do the people who post even read it before commenting on the OP's post? I was just reading about a woman who was upset because her DH had gotten her a $300 GC to a spa. She HATES spas! She wrote about how they even talked about the fact that she HATES them 3 days before he even bought the GC. A few posts later someone posts "Did he know that you don't like spas?" Ah, since she just posted that I'd have to say YES!
