A Jen Too Many

There was much sorrow in our house this morning. School was not cancelled.

There was great hope for a cancellation, since the weather forecasters were predicting an ice storm that would have shut everything down for at least the morning, but nothing of the sort happened, and everyone headed off to work and school this morning just as normal.

"School is not so fun!" Oldest Girl Child complained to me after the umpteenth time of checking the school website did not reveal a new message cancelling everything. I gave her my mini-lecture about the importance of school, that fun isn't the most important thing in the world, and her job right now is learning. And I'm sure it really sunk in, this time. I swear - she listened intently. Really!
