I bet she's not as cranky as I am.
(It's very slushy/icy here and I completely agree with the decision to close, but WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THESE STIR CRAZY KIDS ALL DAY WHEN I'M TRYING TO WORK)

Jessica, I'm sorry you have to work. I don't know what I'm going to do with this kiddo, but it may involve teaching her to do laundry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I said something to a coworker this morning about how four days is just enough time for me to get really into the groove of not working, and she was basically like, "FOUR DAYS IN THE HOUSE WITH KIDS THANK GOD SCHOOL WAS OPEN TODAY I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE!"
Stay strong, parents.

sj, I think teaching her to do laundry is a great plan!

Also that! At least she can work on identifying colors (or however you sort laundry!), if she can't reach the dials on the machines....
I can already tell I don't want to do any work this whole month, and yet, people keep asking me for things! Meh.

Thanks, lisah. We just put lentil and rice soup in the crock pot. Maybe we'll do laundry later.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was kinda sorta working over the holiday, just keeping my D2C orders flowing, but I thought actually coming into the office would not be that much of an adjustment. I was wrong. That was so peaceful and tranquil.

When does the LDB game officially start? Day after Thanksgiving? Dec. 1st? When the first Christmas decorations go up (e.g., late Halloween night)?
