It's snowing. A lot. I realized that last year I spent quite a lot of energy complaining about the snow. And how much I hated it. And how it makes me cranky. And guess what? It didn't stop it from coming down. I am going to try .. really .. really .. hard not to complain about the snow this season. Because, really I live in CO and it's just my reality.
So today it's snowing. So beautiful. And calming. Perfect day to stay inside and bake and stay in my jammies. And watch all of my wonderful children play on their day off. Warm and toasty...
Yeah, this isn't working. Schools were cancelled today. That means HAYLEY is home. Nostalgic mood over. Anyone want a 15 year old .. she'll work for food. Never mind .. she doesn't work.
She has been having these migraines lately. They are bad. Super sensitive to light and sound and they make her throw up. Problem is .. I just have no sympathy left in me. None. That doesn't sound very good.. no, not at all. BUT she's 15 and that means when she has these .. she's HOME with me. Did I mention she's 15?? (fyi .. it's not a fun age) Cramps my style. Cramps me period. She has missed so much school .. that she frankly can't afford to miss. I am really afraid she's not going to pass her Sophomore year. That's scary .. because potentially that means she's home for an ENTIRE extra year.
At this point .. her grades really are suffering. Really. I shoot straight so am not afraid to rat her out like this. It's just fact. She came home super excited a few weeks ago about her grades. "MOM .. guess what??? I totally brought ALL my grades up. Instead of F's .. I have all D's". AWESOME job little girl .. here's a cookie.
So for once, she didn't wake up with a blinding migraine today .. she had all the potential in the world for going to school. But alas, a snow day. She's home.
I wonder .. possibly .. if I get out and shovel a path for each one of her teacher's directly to school, could they please open up - just for her?
OH YEAH .. I love snow. So beautiful... And calming....

I don't know what I would do if you stopped blogging, girlfriend! Please don't --- e.v.e.r.!
And so is life. :D You guys will get past the teen years, no worries!
I love the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. :D
Great attitude today! Need a carmel apple?
I am secretly hoping that since school was canceled today that next time there's a blizzard they'll just stay open. Seems like having all our kids at home is really more dangerous than slippery roads.
