Why didn't we get a foot?

My girls wanted to know why we didn't get a foot of snow. Five to six inches just isn't enough to build a fort. Smantha's great statement for the day..."Mom the weather man doesn't know what he's talking about!" Having all my kids home today was so much fun minus the multiple fights they had today. Everyone still has this bug we have had & getting over it isn't easy. Poor Andrew is the tissue king right now & he is so whiney. All he wants to do is follow me around all day. The poor guy got ran over twice today by his siblings. He tends to not move out of the way fast enough when his brother & sisters are chassing each other around the house. Snow days what a joy!

Kids are wonderful...aren't they?

So at 9 a.m. today I received a call from the kids school. Laura has trown up & you need to come get her because once they throw up theyy can't go back to class... So I being the oh so trusting mom say "Did anyone actually see her throw up?" No,but it is a rule that you have to come get her. Great! Half-day & I have to go get her & then turn around and come right back to get my other kids... Luckily they just pulled all my kids & I took them out a little early.


May I say it is scary when your 7 year old has the system figured out. Why oh why can't I have a dumb child...Paybacks stink! A little while later we are getting ready to have lunch & Her older brother is telling Laura that she can't have Macaroni & cheese, because she was sick & what did I here her say..."I didn't really throw up, I just didn't want to be in school anymore."


"Laura Allison to your room for lying & you will be having a talk with us later." Smart little crud. Donald told me I could be the nice parent this time & he would yell at her. Which is nice, but I don't feel like being a nice parent! I feel like bopping her on the head, dang it! Not always sure what to do with her... Which reminds me I will have to call my mom so she can laugh at this.
