This is NOT a Bed and Breakfast

We've had a couple of snow days here in the south because everyone panics when the weather man even mentions the word "snow". The weather guy was actually right this time though and we got 6 inches in some places. Because the daycare I work with follows school district 1 we've been closed since Monday. Which at first was great, Kenny and I played in the 5-6 inches of snow and sleet, cuddled on the couch and watched movies and just bummed around. Then the ice came. The last report I saw said that across the state there was a total of 1,487 accidents and breakdowns during the last couple of days. WTF. Are we really THAT bad at driving in the snow? Needless to say we didn't go out much. So work closed Tuesday because of all the ice and by Tuesday night they were still canceling school for the following day. I understand we're not equipped here to handle ice, sleet and snow on the roads like the northerners can but sweet Lord...I gots bills to pay yo. Being caged in the house for 3 days with a 2 year old will drive yah nuts too. His attitude has been horrendous and he apparently thinks he can boss me around. He woke up the other night crying for animal crackers. Let me rephrase that....he woke up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT whining and demanding animal crackers. Then last night he woke up and just came in my room, never said a word and then followed me back to his room where I put him back to bed. As we're on our way to bed tonight he demands oatmeal. Not just oatmeal, but oatmeal in bed. I should have given him directions to a bed and breakfast. We've had our fun moments but mostly the trying twos have attacked me full force and I'm ready to get back to work! Where I will ironically be working in the two year old room. But what is it about handling someone elses child seems so much easier then yours sometimes? I love my sweet boy, it seems that he's gotten lost though. I told him the other day if he wants to live to see three he better get his act together. And I better pray for patience. Lots and lots of patience.
