Snowmageddon Part III

The third (!?!) storm moved in Sunday night and Monday morning. It was another 5-6 inches. It was coming down especially heavy throughout the day on Monday so I stayed home from work. The kids, of course, did not have school Monday or Tuesday. No additional snow fell as of Monday night but because of the lack of equipment, preparation and general common sense, there was no school on Wednesday either. By then the temps warmed up, the precipitation turned to rain, BUT there was still no school on Thursday. Yes, you read that right, a storm that ended on Monday with about 6 inches resulted in 4 days of no school, right after a week which had zero regular school days. And of course, because there is no such thing as a regular school schedule, the kids already had an early release half day on Friday to prepare for their no school days on Monday and Tuesday for President's Day. (Tomorrow will be the 5th Monday in a row that they do not have school). So their first day of the week was only 3 hours and that meant in a 2 week period the kids had exactly zero full days of school! Most likely they will have to make up every snow day they had but since Washington declared a State of Emergency there is a chance they won't have to make up the days. I truly couldn't make this up.
By the middle of the week the kids genuinely wanted to be back in school but had to "settle" for yet another play date with their friends. I don't know how Brian did it, but he managed to say sane and even happy the entire time!
