Another Half Day!

February 7, 2012 |  by

This morning after the kids got on the bus, I got a text from my daughter. It said, “Do we have a half day tomorrow?” I looked on the school calendar and sure enough, they DO have a half day tomorrow.

Believe it or not, since they’ve been back in school since winter break, they have only had one full week of school. What is up with this? I don’t think they’ll go another full week and then it will be spring break and then BOOM! Summer will be here. Does school administration think we need to ease our way back into the swing of things by having short weeks? What’s a mom to do?

So yes, it’s another shortened week because the teachers have some sort of planning to do, or some meetings, and I guess I get it, but really, why can’t they make these half days at the end of the week, and not right smack in the middle of the week when we least expect them? It’s screwing up MY schedule!
