Bad Weather & School Closings

On Sunday night Tulsa got sleet and freezing rain. We woke up yesterday morning with a sheet of ice covering the roads. I texted my friend Krysta and work was delayed 1 hour. Ah, more sleep! Well, not really. I got up, got Konner ready, fed and off to school only to be called 30 minutes later by Jonathan saying school was closed. I could not believe it! Apparently when the public schools close, so does daycare. I had to miss a half day of work to stay home with Konner. I was so mad at his daycare. How could they do this when we pay hundreds of dollars a week for daycare?!

Public schools are still closed today but daycare is opened. My only guess is they received a ton of calls from disgruntled parents. I checked around and found care for Konner for $5/hr so we're talking $55/day. HOLY MOLY!!

Bless his little heart; he was SO bored yesterday to the point where he was acting up on purpose. We braved the cold last night and got out for a little Christmas shopping. It was good for him to get out of the house. We went to Target (my favorite store, BTW) and he stood in the back of the cart sipping on my strawberries & cream frappuccino from Starbucks. He loves those things!

We are taking him to see Santa and his workshop at Bass Pro this weekend so be on the lookout for pictures.
