Be careful What you wish for....

This morning, after Charlie and Emily had gone to school and the house was quiet, I wished that it was the end of May so that I wouldn't have to wake Lily up and we could just stay home. Since it's still only March, I woke her up and off we went to preschool. By the time I got to school, I was no longer thinking about staying home but was ready to have fun with my kids. Unfortunately, this was not to be. As I arrived, I saw Beth pulling the computer out of Dawn's room and steam pouring out into the hall. The whole room was a sauna, the windows were swollen shut and humidity was dripping from everything as steam hissed it's way out of the broken radiator. The fish were belly up the water was 92 degrees over an hour after we opened windows, got the radiator turned off and the fans blowing, the bulletin board was wet all the way through, the walls were wet and bubbling, and some of the books were puckered.
We spent the morning cancelling school, pulling out books, pulling down the bulletin board and positioning fans. It was a crazy morning. All we could do was work and laugh- at me for wearing a white T-shirt- that was pretty wet from forcing the windows open, and for my straight hair way fizzing out, and for the situation. Becasue laughing beats crying any day. so, be careful what you wish for- the days off I was wishing for were not the one I received. :)
