Mar. 1st, 2009 08:59 pmTomorrow is my first day of no help. This sounds awful, but I've been kind of looking forward to it - a peaceful day of nursing, vegging out in front of the TV, and napping when Colin naps. Alex has been incredibly high-maintenance lately - lots of attention-needing, lots of emotional drama, lots of whining and requests (for snacks, desserts, screen time) repeated a dozen-plus times - and she was home extra time last week because her grandmother was here. It's impossible to nap with Alex in the house.
Enter the weather forecast: seven to nine inches of snow tonight and tomorrow.
Sometimes on snow days Alex's school opens at 10am, for daycare kids only. But if there are seven to nine inches of snow on the ground, I don't think it's practical for me to try to pack up both kids and get her there. If they even open. The roads around the school are pretty low down on the to-be-plowed list. And Colin tends to scream when he's in the car anyway.
So my first day of no help is going to be both kids, both of whom pretty much want my full-time attention, neither of whom are particularly inclined to let me eat or rest in peace. Also, there is only so much TV-vegging I feel okay about doing with Alex around.
Tell me it's going to be okay? Please?
