Never mind
I am looking forward to tomorrow, a well-earned mental health day off from work while Les is on break between semesters in nursing school. Weather looks to be good and the kids will go to the grandparents after school so we will have most of the day together, one of the few times since she returned to school in January. Maybe we'll even pretend gas is cheap at half the price and take a drive somewhere. The possibilities are endless!
Ironically the above was drafted but not posted when the doorbell rang with the pizza guy (Thursday nights are pizza night here) and while we were upstairs the school automated phone calling system called to remind us that tomorrow is a "half day" with the kids getting out at 11:00...So...strike all of the above and substitute something much less romantic - at least until the grandparents get off work. With that let-down I will probably make the kids clean the house in the afternoon just so it'll be nice for the whole weekend while they're gone.
And really, with gas prices where they are why would any school have a school day that's only three hours long? Quit being namby-pamby and just call the whole day off!

oh crap! if I lived nearby I'd let them come and hang out with my kids while you guys play.
Thanks for the thought. Actually, we picked them up from school and drove them to the grandfolks immediately, so it all worked out (even though Les then had to go to work for an hour for an "in-service" training they force everyone to attend every pay day).
