Day 317 - Noon

Things I learned by noon today:
Assuming you have a snow day can bring a rude awakening when there really is school.

Even a powder sugared doughnut can not help Maria to eat faster.

Getting to the bus stop with 3 kids with packed backpacks, packed lunchboxes, snow pants, boots, gloves, hats, coats, library books, and folders by 8:00 a.m. is the most stressful part of the day.

The van does not make it through snow drifts like the SUV used to. (No Chris, I am still not going to drive the truck.)

Glitter on the floor is a truthful way to say that my floors sparkle.

My mom always is fun to talk to when I am feeling stressed.

The baby will take a nap when she is good and ready, not when I need her to sleep.

I wonder what else I will learn today.
