More time off

So the Bug is appealing for what most of us would agree is a good plan: more days off. She is tired of going to school FIVE days a week and wants to go THREE days a week. More vacation. More free time.
I suppose getting up at 7 and trudging in the Siberian cold across the street is difficult for her. I dare say it’s harder for me. After getting her bundled up in the hat, glove, boot, snowpant ensemble, getting her out the door and up the snowy hill to her school I am tired, too. I just want to come home and crawl back into bed. Winter in New England is WORK. There’s salting the steps and de-icing the wind shield and shoveling the driveway and trying to breathe when the inside of your nose and lungs are frozen. Thankfully I like to sled or I just might be on the next plane…..to where I don’t know. Anyhow, this was supposed to be about the Bug’s appeal for more time off. I told her to talk to her teacher about it and see what they could come up with.
