It’s Friday and it’s a snow day. Monday was MLK Day. Tuesday was another snow day. Wednesday had a two hour delay. All of this time off applied to my children; some of it (the federal holiday) applied to Ryan; none of it applied to me. Whenever I feel my mind and mood drifting into solidarity with the other exasperated and beat down working parents on social media and at the neighborhood sledding hill, I try to remind myself that I am personally very well-positioned to weather (ha ha) all of these unplanned school closures, in that my job is generally not very stressful and nobody is expecting anything of any consequence from me this week. I would certainly like for these kids to go to school at some point so I can experience a moment’s peace, but the only thing really keeping me from having fun in the snow with my family and my neighbors today is my own mind, and two meetings.
Thank you for this service journalism!!!
January was really a wash, school-wise, eh?
I serve at the pleasure of the president (Mr. Trader Joe)
January was not great!! But I'm sure February will turn things around!!
They also have (had?) a hatch chile queso dip that's so good
