Snow Days
Today is day 2 of no school. The MPS decided to cancel school today, last night. WHAT?? WHY??? There is barely any snow on the ground and as of right now there is no precipitation falling from the sky. Poor McKinley missed her Christmas party/last day before break due to school being cancelled. Tomorrow is Reagan's last day and it looks like it may be cancelled as well. Sigh. These poor kids...they actually hate staying home when they know they should be at school. huh??? I'm sure in a few years this will change but for now I'll put up with these 'tantrums' and perhaps pullout the video camera to playback to them after a few years...I'm sure we'll all have a good laugh.
On other fronts, not much is new. We got home this past weekend from doing Christmas with my family at the Key Lime Cove waterpark/hotel in Gurnee IL. Fun fun fun!! It was there perfect way to spend time together. All the kids had a ball as did the adults. What a great waterpark. I would totally suggest it especially to people with younger kids. After the waterpark we spent a few days in Racine and then went to visit Neal and his family outside of Chicago. It was so nice to spend the day with them. Our kids played so well. I wish we lived closer. They are great people!
Erich is still looking for employment. He will have is third interview, on Monday, with a large retailer. A retailer, that I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE. Perhaps my FAVORITE retailer of all time. I don't want to jinx it and give the name but I will say that it's a store that's full of 'bullseyes' in the color of Santa's suit!! I'm hoping this pans out well but unfortunately we'd probably have to move...again. This makes me sad. I love it here but what can ya do?
I think I'll take advantage of the day and take the kids out to buy Erich's Christmas gift. Yeah, nothing like waiting until the last minute. I got my present early this year from Erich...a TOMTOM. I love it. But now i have to find him a cool gift too...ugh. Where do you go when you only have a Walmart and Biglots in your town???? Yeah, and WHY don't I want to move??
