No School

We don't have school until Monday. It is just amazing how one thing can change your everyday life so much. We were so blessed not to have any real problems with Ike. But it did cause a glitch in our lives. I never really thought about everything it takes to run a school district. At this time not all the schools have power. I think it is just a couple that don't. The problems are with transportation for buses and employees. Is there enough gas for everyone? Food, do the cafeteria's have what they need to feed the kids breakfast and lunch? Are all the employees able to come to work? Many employees still don't have power. Hopefully all that will be fixed by Monday.

Mason has gotten up each morning and asks if we can go ice skating. I keep trying to explain to him that this is not a vacation. He doesn't get it. I think it would be good to take the boys somewhere were they can help out in some way. Maybe they would understand the impact this has had on many people. I am just not sure where we could go and help out.

I am always so excited to be out of school the first few days and then bored to tears by the third or fourth day.....
