Snow Days in May

Remember when you were a kid and snow days were good things? Now that I'm a mom, they don't hold nearly the appeal they once did.

We had a bunch of them over this past winter, and they used up all the allotted snow days in the school calendar--and then some. So, now the kids in our town go to school 15 minutes earlier and get out 15 minutes later. I'm not sure if this actually translates to more learning time in the classroom, but it definitely means I have to wake up earlier. *sigh/yawn*

I hope they build a bit more wiggle room in the calendar next year. Or maybe Global Warming will hurry up and turn New Hampshire into the tropical paradise I'm half-expecting it will be by the time the kids go off to college.

UPDATE: Oh! And Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!

Save me, Internet!

Okay, enough with the snow already.  I can't get anything useful done with three small kids running around. I can, however, sneak random peaks are weird stuff online.. and then pass the weirdness on to you!
