Snow Day

I can't believe it's been this long since I've posted. I turned around and all of a sudden the week was gone.

Oh, but it's been crazy. The teen got two snow days, which meant having him sitting around the living room, sighing his boredom and misery whenever he wasn't on the computer. It's amazing how much space he can take up when he's feeling sorry for himself.

The husband was home, too, although he was usually napping. Or sitting on the couch watching television. Or on the computer, doing what he calls mental gymnastics, which as far as I can tell involves making lots of tables and graphs.

Why is it everyone else's time off means so much extra work for me? I don't think I've sat down for more than a few minutes at a time for days now. At least I'll only have the teen home tomorrow. I'll take the girls out in the snow, get them good and tired, and maybe they'll both take naps. I could lie on my bed and read awhile. That would be nice.

Or I could just lock myself in the bathroom and ignore the girls' attempts to break in.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
