still out of school

Well the snow has taken it's toll on three school days. Luckily the sun is blazing out, melting snow, or at least softening it enough that vehicles driving through it will make it go away. Because most of our kids ride busses to school, the roads must be safe enough for that before they can reopen the schools. I'm betting tomorrow will be a 2 hour delay, just enough for the school day to count, and the sun to be up for all the busses. It's great having the days to catch up on chores, but the days must be made up for somehow.

The son is finally able to take a week's worth of trash to the landfill transfer center, he's just so looking forward to that one!

Such fun.

Snow

Wow. This is the 3rd snow of the winter. I have come to the realization that I have moved to a place where it will snow every winter. (That's a good thing) Where we lived for many years before, it would snow every couple of years and it would only last a couple of hours. We had a snow day in middle of Dec, snow on Christmas day, and snow this morning/day. It's slowing down, but we expect more. Needless to say, the powers that be (the county schools superintendent) last night called school off for today. I'll bet we'll have at least a 2 hour delay tomorrow if at all. Too many rural roads, too much ice = bad news for school busses. (In case you forgot I drive a school bus). And of course the big black furry dog loves to take snow baths, and try to come in covered in snow balls.
My sister and family came up from Florida on Friday (usually the hot pits of hell but not this winter) and left a day early (yesterday) because of the impending doom, and my brother in law has to be to work Tuesday.

I made some gluten free biscuits this morning, didn't turn out too badly. It's odd - I used to get 3 headaches a week, and suffer from the family's depression. It's too early to tell, but a month gluten free, and no headaches, plenty of energy, and no slumps (minor depressions). Maybe I'll just have to stick with this, and see what happens.

Things just get better
