So we are on day 4 of no school due to snow on the ground. The first 2 days were fun and understandable. Because Central Arkansas doesn't see much snow they don't have the equipment to clear ALL the streets and keep them salted/sanded. Fine. The problem is that Pulaski County Special School District takes in a HUGE area, a lot of which is country where the roads have never been touched leaving them very icy. So because buses can't get down some of the roads to pick up a few kids, the ENTIRE district shuts down. I understand it from a district point of view, but when our streets have been dry and fine for 2 days and we are still out of school ...it's frustrating. The news last night mentioned "Saturday School" (that's not going to work), cutting into Spring Break (people with vacations planned won't be there), or extending the school year. Either way...it's dumb! It would be nice if we could just do it on a school basis.
Isaac has been having fun outside and with his friends. The little kids had fun in the snow the first day, but it's now ice snow and not fun to be out in, so they are going stir crazy. I have tried to do a bunch of things in the house with them, but there's only so much that can be done, especially when I have 6 kids under 6.
So hopefully they can go tomorrow, Friday. It's their Valentine Parties, the little kids want to be there. But then Monday is a holiday, no school.

Oh you poor girl! I had kids home "sick" last week. They had coughs and a slight runny nose, and weren't that bad, but still probably not good enough to be around people. It was a nightmare all week! I agree they should decide from school to school what to do. Hang in there!
Oh my!!! I would be BEYOND overwhelm! Especially tagged onto the two weeks of Aaron being gone! Hopefully you will get one day of relief tomorrow!
