Crowd descends on Ohio Statehouse to protest changes to collective bargaining [link]
Yup. It's not quite as bad as the proposed bill in Wisconsin, but it's pretty fucking bad.
Emmett has all of next week off.
Presidents' Week?
Well, there are A LOT OF PRESIDENTS. At least 17, or something like that. Maybe 90. I'm not real good with history.
Yay, for the new cover, Amy!
I'm taking Owen up to Polar Cub camp tomorrow morning for an overnight camp out with the Cub Scouts.
And Derby practice tonight and Sunday.

My schools in NY had a midwinter break like that -- VA never did, so it seemed great but completely insane when we moved up there. Still does, now that I think of it.
This weekend is atypically low-key, since most of our weekends are all about fencing and most of the fencers are off at the under-20 championships this weekend. Plans: brewing, garden, cranking on a bunch of work samples (assuming I can get the site I want to finish today out the door, which is currently depending on stuffs from the client. Le sigh.)
I have no idea if S has Monday off or not, actually. He just started a new job, so he possibly could!! I completely forgot it was a holiday weekend.
We don't get anymore days off until Memorial Day.
I've been looking at NYC school info all week (pre-K applications for the fall start in March) and the midwinter recess thing just seems custom designed to inconvenience working parents. (Or alternately, designed as a gift for ones who need to use up their rollover vacation days.)
sumi, I'm in the same lack of holidays boat.
Especially if they've just had a bunch of snow days!!
I do not get a three day weekend...but I am flying TO PERU tomorrow! EEP!
Have an awesome time, meara!
I have Monday off, so I am planning on making it my laundry and home improvement day. I have two pieces of furniture from Ikea that need to be put together, and so far the house elves have been falling down on the job.
Peru! Wow. That's awesome.
