This is Something They Don't Discuss in the Parenting Handbooks
I woke up this morning to the news our school district will be having a 2-hour weather delay.
We didn't get snow last night. But, we did have a bit of freezing rain and our superintendent must be under the impression the roads are just slick enough to justify a later start. This is an opinion I don't share. I personally thought the streets were fine and have heard the same about the country roads. At minimum, they aren't as bad as they were a few weeks ago, when we had several inches of snow and schools were on time.
The most annoying part of this delay is, even though the kids get one, my wife and I don't. That means we are scrambling to rearrange our mornings so we can get them to school. We think we have it figured out (she takes the oldest daughter on her way to work and I went into the office but will come home for an early lunch and take our youngest daughter). But it is definitely an inconvenience that required a lot more forethought than it was worth.
