UPS is delivering packages on my block...

We got a package from UPS earlier, I think his question was if they are going to call it a day earlier than usual...

If anyone is curious, Verizon came by my house at 1:30. So if ur expecting a technician, they seem to still be coming.

I went to the library to get more books for the kids and myself. I was surprised to find only 1 other mother doing the same. I don't want the kids spending the day on the computer.

Parenting tip: Tonight make a schedule for tomorrow - with the kids.
Schedule davening, learning, meals, and specific activities they want to do - play in the snow, read, play games with their siblings.
It stops the day from seeming endless, and transitions them to the next activity. More excitement, less kvetching. Even less fighting.

Naturally, as the roads will only be open to emergency vehicles.

Lol- no way to get there. Her doctor already said if anything happens to call 911 (even over hatzalah) and not to attempt to drive in these conditions.
