Thursday Thirteen: NOT ripped from the headlines
My kids have been home for five days now, thanks to the snow. We’re all a little bit stir-crazy, even though we’ve been getting out.
Here are thirteen headlines that were ripped straight out of my imagination…
1. Snowbound kids turn 22 inches of snow into 20-foot snowman.
2. 20-foot snowman Crushes Neighbor’s Car
3. Kids Buried Waist-Deep in Snow. Freeze while Mom takes pictures for scrapbook
4. Mom serves doctored cocoa to kids. Takes bath while they sleep off the effects.
5. Heavy snow breaks skylight in local home. Kids build snowmen in bathtub.
6. Husbands around region bring sleeping bags to work. Seek to avoid family with cabin fever.
7. Man has heart attack clearing spot in grass for dog to pee on.
8. Mom Climbs Walls — and Refuses to come Down until Spring.
9. Bored kids plead with school board to reopen schools.
10. Snow Reminds Seniors of The Winter of 1900! Fifty inches over five days. Five hundred dead.
11. Libraries glad city shut down. Fear all books would be gone otherwise.
12. Vampires asked to help fill blood donor shortage. (Okay, inspired by a true story)
13. Punxy Phil laughs himself to six more weeks of hibernation.
Wait. That last one seems to have happened.
Those are hilarious!!! Are you sure it’s not the parents pleading with the school boards though? hehe

Funny stuff. I’d go nuts cooped up with bored kids. Heck, just being snowbound with a spouse and critters might drive me off the edge! I hope you’re staying warm and appropriately fed, at least. Benadryl in the hot chocolate might help everyone a little…

LOL – I’m so glad we don’t have snow. I get cabin fever if I don’t go outside every day. I like #8 about Mom climbing the walls and refusing to come down. I hope the snow clears soon for you.

Doesn’t mater how bored they get, they’d never ask for more school. They might, however inspire the headline, “Mom found in backyard igloo, hiding from kids.”
