Got your reply as I’m sitting in the window watching the snow come down. I may not be teaching anymore, but today is a snow day for schools in our area, and I’m so excited for my teacher friends. We love snow days just as much as the kids! Since our youngest son works for the school district too, he also gets a snow day, so no Gilbert today (his black lab puppy I watch while he’s at work). Our winter storm warning is over at 1pm today, and tonight it’s supposed to get down into the 20s, so tomorrow this may all be ice.

I had to laugh at your comment wondering if the kids have to leave before rooms can be cleaned, and from my experience, that’s a huge YES! When our boys were both living at home, I was still teaching, and it was all I could do to keep up not not with my own life, but theirs as well. Both boys were on their high school water polo and swim teams, and our oldest was in several high school bands. My hubby and I coordinated all fund raising events for the water polo and swim teams and supported the Bands’ program at their high school too. The last two year of fundraising, my hubby had to take that by himself, as my narcolepsy was worsening. I basically got out of bed in time to have our youngest at school on time (which then made me on time for my job), and when I got home I went right back to bed. I even missed some water polo games and swim meets. On the weekends, I slept up to 20 hours a day. Hardly any housework was done the last two years I taught, let alone any decluttering. My hubby and I have had the house to ourselves for about the last 1.5 years, and it’s only been recently that I’ve started getting rid of things we don’t need/want anymore. I have the living and dining no rooms done, and it feels great!

I’m so sorry this new update brought new troubles with you not being able to receive gifts, but congratulations on finishing your SSHM event! I have several friends affected by this new glitch, just as I’m finally playing glitch-free for the first time in almost nine months. I hope G5 is speedy in fixing this new one for all of you.

Wishing you a wonderful Monday! 💖
