Winter of my Discontent

I am so over this winter.  Wm was out of school for 2 days this week because of extreme cold…again.  On the first day, OSU canceled classes but said the University remained open.  So I took a vacation day and stayed home with Wm.  Day two, I brought Wm to work with me.  Which is always an experience.  Thankfully, he is back in school today because it is a balmy 9 degrees outside.

Wm used his time off school to follow the cat around and "bundle him up" because he said he "bet the cat is pretty cold."  At first, Schroeder wasn't so sure he liked being bundled up...

Unsure.

But then, he decided it was pretty awesome and took and epic nap...

Epically napping.

Wm then decided to stay in his pajamas and play MineCraft all day….

He also played in his room for 2 hours, read A Wrinkle in Time, did some homework (he has a big presentation on Benjamin Banneker he has to do on Feb 12 and has never used PowerPoint…or Wikipedia), and ran in circles around the house.  This was fabulous because it gave me time to read an entire book, work out, and watch 2 romantic comedies that Steve had no interest in.

While diving Wm to work with me, the car said the air temp was -4.  Plus it was windy. NOT HAPPY.

I showed Wm how to use PowerPoint while he was at work with me and he made a bunch of slides about poop.  And entertained himself by adding clip art of bombs.  Then, he wrote "POOP" on the dry erase board in our conference room.  And harassed my student assistant while he tried to work.  THANKFULLY, Steve came and got him at 12:30 and took him home.  

I am currently trying to talk Steve into moving someplace that is 70 degrees in January.  So far…I have not been successful.
