Snow Job

The snow has arrived. First it rained today and then it snowed. The roads were fine this morning but by dinnertime the snow had hit and driving was tricky! I watched the news tonight and Wyatt's school is on a two hour delay for tomorrow! That means that I am supposed to bring him to preschool at 11am. He is usually in bed for a nap by 11:30am so I don't think that school will work out for tomorrow. Can you imagine a classroom full of 13 three year old's that have all missed their naps? Wyatt's poor teacher would have to come to school wearing football pads and a helmet to keep up with that kind of chaos! John thinks that I should take him anyways, but it would mess up Jonah and Sammy's schedule too. They wouldn't be able to nap on time because I would have to leave to pick Wyatt up again at 12:30pm! I don't know how working parents do it?!?! Our school district has already had at least 3 two hour delays and at least 2 cancellations this year already. That is a full work week to miss. If you only have 2 weeks of vacation, you have used half of it within 30 days of the beginning of the year....yikes!!!! Since the local schools were closed, I called the little boy across the street who is in 7th grade this afternoon and offered to pay him to shovel our driveway. I thought that it would be nice for John to have it cleared off by the time that he got home and I didn't think that I should be shoveling while pregnant. His Mom told me that she was having a hard time even getting him to shovel her driveway and that he probably wasn't up for doing ours! She said that it was cold and wet outside! I told John the story when he got home and we both laughed because the way we figure it, we will only have to do our own shoveling for about 4 or 5 more years and then our team of shovelers will be able to take over. And, for the record they WILL be shoveling our neighbors driveways even if they don't get paid.....especially when it is cold and wet!!!! Why else would we have 4 boys.....for the yard work and snow removal perks DUH???!!????!!!
