PopPop and Mammaw, I know you keep telling us that all this snow we're getting is really not normal, but I'm beginning to doubt it.:) Today is the NINTH -- the NINTH -- day of school Rachel has missed since the start of the school year. It was also the day of our rescheduled parent-teacher conference because we missed the last one because of...wait for it...SNOW.
Pew Research opened two hours late, but that still left me with Rachel all day. Luckily I had handed in the last of my stories so I really didn't need to work. I kept asking her if she wanted to go out and build a snowman, but she just wanted to watch Barbie movies. So, we did -- three in a row. Epic Mommy fail, but I'm usually so busy freelancing that I don't feel like I do a very good job of being in the moment with Rachel, and I decided to let her do whatever she wanted. (To her credit, Drew gave her some pages to do in a math workbook he got her, and she is already adding double rows of numbers and mastering subtraction). I also have to say that I was secretly thrilled when Ivy's mom texted me and asked if Rachel wanted to play, and Rachel said to me, "No, I want to play with YOU all day, Mommy."
So, we watched Barbie movies, and played Go Fish and Mancala, and I made her a very late lunch and still managed to get a beef stew in the oven that we had for dinner tonight and Drew loved, so, in terms of productivity, I did manage to get a few things accomplished.
