Another "Bad Weather - No School" Day?

Well, we got up this morning and it was raining. Big deal! So it's only January 29th and it's raining .... freezing rain. Not enough to look bad, but enough to cancel the schools in our district. The bad news is, I study via distance education ..... so, for me, it's STILL a school day.

Question:

What do you do with a 9 year old special needs child, who, insanely, got an umbrella in his stocking at Christmas, and is now pleading non stop to go out and "break it in" so to speak?

Answer:

Let him go out, the novelty will wear off - one would hope.

So, I sit here with my herbal tea cold remedy in hand, a box of kleenex, and a "now dry" child in the next room, trying to determine if my mind is clear enough, and whether I am brave enough to write an online timed exam. Negative. I think I will wait for another day and just work on one of the 6 assignments that await my attention. No doubt the Battleship, Chess, and Checkers games will be on the docket of things to accomplish today as well ..... gotta keep the munchkin happy too! Thank God we have competed the 14 model sets received at Christmas!!! However, I prepare myself for the begging .... "When am I going to get to do my two plaster of Paris kits, Mom?" ..... but for now the race track which takes up the better part of his massive therapy/bedroom and the "A Fish Tale" movie is occupying his time nicely ..... so .... Off to school I go!!

Have a GREAT day!

Until next time ....
