I can't believe we got a snow day! When I looked out my window this morning I hopped out of bed, ready to kick Meghan out of the shower. Just by chance I check SchoolsOut... maybe there'd be something, a random delay would be awesome, but who was I kidding! YEAH. SNOW. DAY. At best there was a half inch, supposedly our Superintendent guy is from New York or something on a mission to stop this ridiculous days (the snow day for the snow forecast, anyone?) Yeah, about that... he obviously can't stop Howard County when it has its heart set on something, like snow days.
I went back to bed only to have dream where Mom woke me up and I had to go to school. Mr. Midkiff was lecturing me about reading SchoolsOut correctly... which if anyone knows how little we learn in that class and how embarassing that'd be as I as the Effortlessly Smart Girl there. So I jolted up and checked again and even got a calender to make sure it was Wednesday >>;
And then I went back to sleep.
And woke at nearly one.
NICE.
So today was pretty useless. I met with Ada and Becky's mom to discuss planning her birthday party. I went shopping with Meghan. I ate cake. I watched Code Geass --; Mom came home late, working nine and some hours and viciously ill. She walked in the door crying, holding her face. Meghan and I spent the rest of the day helping her out. I made her tea and dinner and cleaned the kitchen and generally cleared any clutter I found. Meghan fetched anything else she needed and "shoveled" the dusting off the driveway. Unfortunately she had to make her own drink because I was insisting that she go to bed (she has work tomorrow too) and Dad hadn't come home yet. Dad came home a little after ten. It's worst than yesterday. I'm sure Ada can relate to those damn deadlines, but that's just how this week will be going.
At least Mom can't blame me for he sickness >>; It's been two days now and I slept mine off in a night.
I guess the break was good.
