At first the county was all Hey, two hour closing. And then five minutes the county was all PSYCH! Ha! Got you! Nah, we’re going to close the schools now. To be fair, it’s coming down pretty good… but I don’t feel like being fair, honestly. I feel like sending the kids to school so that I can clean the house.
Grumble, grumble, groan, WHINE.
Kids are great for helping cleaning the house as long as you give them small tasks with set deadlines, minor rewards and implied horrible punishment for failure.
Kids are also good for following behind the cleaning parent and creating bright new messes…
