Last February, when we had 2 feet of snow delivered in one weekend (not quite as bad as what you've got) we had to PAY our teenagers to shovel our OWN property.<br /><br />I'm glad you made a party out of somebody's unwillingness to cancel the rehearsal. My blood boils when the director of our high school musical thinks his event is more important than the weather that Heaven is delivering, and refuses to cancel rehearsal, even though everyone else is wisely staying home and building snowforts and frolicking.<br /><br /> Party on.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-36571103094446447242010-12-14T04:44:43.262-08:002010-12-14T04:44:43.262-08:00I'm so proud of your young man. :-)I'm so proud of your young man. :-)Jen on the Edgehttp://www.jenontheedge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-39477579348678842192010-12-13T19:21:19.629-08:002010-12-13T19:21:19.629-08:00That last paragraph says it all.That last paragraph says it all.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-11909650792446414122010-12-13T17:11:20.310-08:002010-12-13T17:11:20.310-08:00So proud - and you should be.

Not only was it dangerous for the snow removal crews, it was creating chaos for the emergency crews like police and ambulance services. <br />I hope you got a hot bath after all that labor--and shoveling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-58055365566561538222010-12-13T11:23:19.775-08:002010-12-13T11:23:19.775-08:00You have a wonderful son.
