At last it is here!! It’s still snowing like mad outside, but the plows seem to have caught up enough that school was open. I walked to the end of the driveway with the boys this morning to wait for the bus, but after 10 minutes we decided to drive. I drove my kids to school this morning with bed hair smashed down under a hood, in my purple fuzzy jammie pants with white stars all over them and sporting big rubber, knee high mud boots.
When we headed down the driveway, Michael (10 now!) says, “God Mom, you’re as embarrassing as Dad…”
Dad normally goes with them in the morning, but he was called out to tow at 7 this morning and didn’t make it back in time.
Just for the record, I’d intended to step into the bus hut down there when the bus arrived so no one would see me! Had the van broke down on our ride…. I imagine people would understand. I know that if a frazzled looking mother in her jammies with 2 kids showed up at MY door at 9 am on the first day back to school after SEVENTEEN DAYS… I would not only understand, but probably make her blessed soul some coffee!!
I have a silly household tip for you today. Someone recently commented on it at my house and asked me why and was delighted with the answer, so I thought I might share it even further.
** I keep my bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths all together in a cabinet in my bathroom. I stack all the bar soap in between the stacks of linens. The soap keeps the whole cabinet smelling nice, and it of course smells delightful on the towels. **
I hope you’re all having a wonderful morning so far.
Be Blessed on this beautifully snowy Tuesday :)
