You try to teach them...

The irony of last night's post is that school was closed today too.

I went to work.

So once again, I remember that I control my attitude, not anyone else's.

Unless I duct tape their mouths.. naw, bad attitude comes out with the stomps down the hallway.

To be fair though, now that Christmas vacation has started the boys are quite happy.

Go figure.

School? I don't wanna..

So we've had no school for the week due to bad weather, and there is school tomorrow, and my boys are really irritated about this. I can understand this because my place of work shut down for my shift on Monday and Wednesday, and I was grumpy today because I had to go to work... I think that we take too much for granted too quickly. Blessings like school, and a good job are easily dismissed because they are mundane to us.

Guess what? School is not always available to everyone. A good job is (as many of my friends and family are finding out) not always there to have.

Tonight I am thankful for my children's chance for an education. I am thankful for my job with a company who care more for my safety than for their schedule. Tomorrow I'm planning on going in to work, remembering that I am blessed...

Convincing my children that they are blessed to go to school may take more time, if you know what I mean.
