Spring break? What's that?

Today, I slept in, went grocery shopping, and had a leisurely lunch with my husband instead of working. Why? Because today is my 9th snow day of the year. We had 2 in December, 5 in January, and 2 this week. Before this week, they had already ignored our priority of make-up days (which said we would make up all snow days at the end of the school year) and taken away Presidents' Day and three days of Spring Break, leaving us with only 2 days off for the entire remainder of the school year. Now that we've had these snow days this week, we'll probably lose what we had left. Which means I won't be able to go visit Lee in Springfield, IL, and I won't be able to stop on the way to Lee's to hang with Jennie and Ben before they leave for their cruise.

Stupid plan-ruining snow days.

Now all I can do is hold out hope that the superintendent will come to his senses, give back Spring Break, and add another week to the end of the school year.
