Honestly, I'd put all the kids to bed (it's a comforting routine!) and meet the dad outside for a chat when he deigns to show up.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Because books.
How old is this kid, Kat?
Also, I think I'd do as sarameg said. Either that or give him a coloring book in the other room and put the twins to bed.

Oh, also, I didn't realize until I was leaving the locker room that I was wearing my Joss Whedon is My Master T-shirt and carrying my 42 towel. I may not be as stealthy in my geekdom as I like to think.
Double heh!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I can't decide whether to work from home or to go in today. I am sure I can make it but it is 3 degrees and since I ride public transportation, I could be stuck outside for awhile. I also have to wash my hair, and it will take forever to dry (and it is much too cold to go outside with it wet!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If working from home is an option, I vote for that.

I'm working from home. Between these weirdass sneezing fits and I don't want to shovel at this hour/temp/wind...I have my work laptop. No one needs to be a hero.

I can VPN and or log into Blackboard. I may text my student worker and see if she can work at home, too, as she has no boots and walks!

I'm still at my parents', where it's 10 degrees, windchill -3. About eight inches of snow so far.

Punishingly Intricate
Pretty sure I'm working from home for the morning anyway but nobody else has emailed in about it yet and I don't want to be the first one.

We are in the middle of the snowstorm and I am at work. They never cancel, and i always come out of sheer bloodimindedness.
If you ever hear that I died in a snowbank, avenge my death!
