I’m a Southern California girl. I love the weather and lived at the beach with my husband when we were first married. I hate the cold. I despise rain and I don’t do snow. I agreed to move to Texas because the weather is very similar to what I’m used to. Imagine my surprise to be snowed in two years in a row.
I am the parent of a toddler and an infant. My toddler started the early program at the local school when she aged out of Early Childhood Intervention. Now I have to figure out how to do school. The school told us that the earliest we could drop Jessie off is 7:30 and then pick up at 11:00. I have learned that 7:30 is too early and 11:00 is too late; I would think the school would know.
Dealing with snow days has been another interesting experience. The first time I thought school should be canceled because of the snow, I never got a notification from the school. I had to sign up for alerts from one the local news stations’ websites. I did stumble across a Facebook post on my newsfeed from the school about the snow day, but it was on the snow day itself.
The next time we had a snow day I got the proper notice from the school. Jessie stayed home from school that day. That evening I got notice that school would start two hours late the next day. I took Jessie in two hours late and she was the only one there from the morning preschool session. When President’s Day came and it was a bad weather makeup day I did not take Jessie to school. I found out the next day that she should have been there.
I’m sure I’ll have this figured out when E starts school.
