Getting Off Work!

Little Kat was sick during the night. He still had an upset tummy and last a slight fever when I checked on him this morning. I decided to let him stay home but I knew I needed to be here to take care of him. He might not get enough rest if there were visions of Wii, unattended in the house. It is hard to get off work at the last minute and I had to administer a test (which Little would be missing by staying home). I arranged for a half day absence and asked my boss if I could get off any sooner. She said I could go home right away and she would find someone to give my test but I figured I was already at school so I might as well stay a little longer. I also knew Black was at home for a little while. I ended up getting off earlier than I had expected and made it home a few minutes after Black left. Little was snug in bed but was feeling better. He was able to keep some food down and he even worked on a little homework. I will be watching him today to decide if I will be taking another day off.

Snowed In

This weekend we got the Blizzard of 2009. I think there was at least 20 inches of snow in our area. Even the snow plough got stuck on our street. Momoko and the kids were off from school today. But I had to head into work.

So yesterday I went out in the afternoon and tried to dig out my car. It was tough because a plough did come by and "plough me in". Eventually I cleared a path for my car to get out. I later found out this was the easy task.

Momoko was parked deeper in our driveway. There was a lot of snow shoveling to get from the curb to her car. Luckily Kit Kat came out and helped me. Then Little Kat came out, but I think he dropped more snow on the driveway than he cleared. Finally Momoko came out because she saw we needed the help. Momoko actually went out driving today in the snow. Yippee.
