Sure enough, we had a snow day on Monday! I had BIG plans that the kids would help me clean the house so that we could finally get out our Christmas decorations. See, I told them that we would do ANY of that until they helped me clean and get ready. So far, they hadn't helped but now they're feeling the crunch!
Of course, I slept for all of 3 hours the night before and woke up with what I think is a full-blown sinus infection. I am just plain miserable and with two kids who NEVER sleep in when they can (my son was up at 6:30 and my daughter was up at 7:00!), their energy was at about 100%. My son received a call to go over to snowboard at the ski lodge a few miles from our house. Absolutely. One loud one down, one to go...
My daughter made a call to her friend and she asked if they could play. At first it was going to be here. Not perfect, but I can totally tune out kids who are playing. At the last minute, the tables turned and my daughter was invited to THEIR house. Absolutely! Last one down and my bed was calling me.
As soon as my daughter was gone, my son called and said he was coming home. WHAT??? He was okay, but the friend he went with broke his wrist. =( On their second run, he hit the rail, came off it and hit ice. Slammed right down onto his wrist. Poor kiddo. Poor me...my nap plans weren't looking so good...
Thankfully, as my son is almost 12-years-old, I set him up with food and snacks and he was good to watch a movie I taped for him. I went to bed and was able to sleep for almost 2 hours. Just in time for my daughter to come home and me to get back to work.
Big plans? Nope. Didn't come to fruition, but today, while the kids are back at school, I shall clean. I have one corner of the living room done. Now on to 98% more messy house! And tomorrow? I hope it's all done and the kids can help me decorate tonight. We'll see...
