Stay-Home Day

Surprise snow day today. I found out late last night, so I didn't even have to set my alarm to get up this morning. We are having what Grace calls a "stay-home day."

There are good and bad things about this.

I am enjoying my coffee. Really enjoying it. It rocks.

I don't have to be outside in the cold.

I got to sleep in this morning.

I can get my movie watched and some laundry done today. Maybe even write.

Grace is dressed in one of her outrageous "it does too match!" outfits.

However, the kids are fighting. Grace just had a screaming fit over the TV, as she has been watching Poltergeist non-stop and it's Drew's turn to watch something.

I am feeling a little guilty for letting my kids watch Poltergeist. However, they like scary movies, and I figured this one was pretty tame for them. I do have limits to what I will let them watch, believe it or not.

Drew is crying because his brother is mean to him, his sister annoys him, and none of his friends will ever play with him.

My heart is breaking a little.

But a friend is coming over for coffee this afternoon, so it should be good. Trying to hang on to that. And the fact that I get to have the day off again tomorrow to go to two appointments by myself. It should be a good day. A therapeutic, cathartic, cleansing kind of day.

It's February. There is an end in sight.
