Snow happens

Why did we get our teenagers cell phones? Oh yeah, so they could keep in touch. Maybe we should have given that more thought.

By now, you know it snowed today. As I write this, it is snowing. All kids desperately want Gwinnett County Schools to close.

The following is a text message conversation between myself and my teenage daughter. Although I have always respected Erma Bombeck, now that I have 4 children, I realize that she really didn't have to come up with ideas so much as just write down what happened.

Omg i can get checked out?

Some schools early releasing today. Gwinnett not. You don't have 2 stay after school 2day though.

I think they're going to cancel it anyways. Its supposed to get worse later...around 5-ish.

Stay the course. There is weather all over the world.

-.- so....U want me to stand out in the snow waiting for u to come get me

School is still in session.

We're not even doing anything

I'm trying to.

Trying to what?

Trying to work.
