For once MrsGrumpy is sitting here wishing the kids had a snow
day. :( Not enough snow though. I am tired...they are tired...we are tired. But no, the weather man was wrong, again, and I've got to dust off the bus and ferry them to school today.

I don't wanna go out in the cold, I don't wanna go out in the cold,I don't wanna go out in the cold.

:cry:

7. I totally agree. Midnight is when I got to bed, 5:30 is when I got up. And
we got snow, but dry snow, so they have the streets plowed. But it's slicker than snot out there. And my son has to walk 'cuz I have to be at work at 8.

Nuts.

Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 08:06 AM by Darth_Kitten
it's monday and I'm not pleased. :( But I'll go in because one of the gals I work with probably won't be in. She's always "sick" payday fridays, days before or after a statutory holidays, and oh, mondays are always good. Took so much time off last year she had to take probably about 3 weeks or more of no pay and then whined and whined about never having a full paycheque. (no sick time left,etc) But they won't do anything about her anyways and her work falls on other's shoulders.

sorry, but on days like today I'm especially cranky and bitter. :evilfrown:

10. Awww. Sounds like you have a reason to be cranky and bitter
though. What a creep you work with. Hope your day goes by super fast.

9. ROFLMAO
I was just sitting here thinking the same thing; vacation is over and I have to go to work today. I'm the teacher. I want a snow day! I don't want to go back to work. I'm in the lounge pretending I don't have to, even though I need to be there in 33 minutes.

:cry:

Well, I went to work after all, and we had a good day. Kids smiling "hello" at you can sure change your perspective!

we don't want you to go out in the cold!
remember to button up your overcoat, and don't forget your gloves -- and for heavens sake get those ear muffs on.

14. Thanks xchrom...It was awful. I have a cast on with a sock and
a walking boot over it. and I got slush in between the sock and the walking boot and now my feet are wet and cold. :( But I made it. Now to take the tree down. Sigh.

Have a great day!!!

16. Same here
We were supposed to get 8 inches last night but only got 2 or 3. I've been off for 2 1/2 weeks and sure didn't want to get up early, drive the kids to school and come in to work. I feel your pain.
