Okay, so I wake up this morning, and my phone goes off with a text message from the local TV station letting me know school was cancelled again today....I go start the coffee and sit down to watch the news. This was at 5:20 am. Half an hour later, the phone goes off again - guess what - school was NOT cancelled!!!!!! Now, this wouldn't have been too terrible - the boys still had enough time to get up and get dressed and ready for school - but for one HUGE problem - we had ALMOST TWO FEET OF SNOW IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!! I couldn't even get off the steps to walk the dog because the drifts were so deep - poor thing had to pee in the driveway....*S*
I go up and get dressed and try to dig my way to the front of the van so I can wade through drifts as high as my waist to get to the garage and get out the snow blower.......finally get there. I've woken the boys up early and Michael, bless his heart, is taking care of getting everyone breakfast and making sure they're all dressed and ready for school. I managed after 30 minutes or so to clear out enough of the driveway to get the van out - the snow was taller than the snowblower at the end of the driveway, and the drifts were ridiculous! I guess I'll get the boys together after school and we'll somehow try to get the rest of the driveway plowed out so that we can get Curt's truck in this weekend.....NOT looking forward to this afternoon!
I should have taken pictures, but I was definitely NOT in the mood this morning......
I ended up driving the boys to school because the bus hadn't made an appearance by the time I had to leave for work, and let me tell you, the roads were NOT really in good shape. I can imagine that the busses were having a hard time of it, particularly on some of the side streets - we live on a main road, and the street was white.
When I got to school, about 1/2 the staff still hadn't made it in - I guess we ALL saw the error, and went back to bed...LOL! About half the students are gone too - some are straggling in, but most decided to make it an unofficial snow day anyway, I guess. At least it will be a quiet day in the classrooms - I hope!

Oh what a hassle, so sorry you didn't get the day off. 2 feet of snow, yikes!
Oh what a mess! My kids both HAD to take the bus today because Jason had left for workk and I wasn't about to dig my car out.
Oh my, I probably would have been one of those that didn't get the correction as I'd have gone straight back to bed after seeing it was cancelled. Hopefully it turned out to be a fairly calm day. Were you able to get completely dug out?
Glad you and the kids had an unofficial snow day. If I saw 2 feet of snow, I would have said, I'm going back to bed so the kids can have today off too...lol. I hope it wasn't the wet heavy stuff.
I just found your blog, where were you hiding????? Oh yeah, under the snow...did it snow you in? lol
