THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

BAD TOOTH FAIRY

Imagine the look on my 8 year old's face this morning when he came in my room to let me know that the tooth fairy didn't take his tooth or leave him his money! Wow, I felt SO awful, I failed the tooth fairy job! I told Jake that maybe it was too snowy last night for the tooth fairy to get here, after all there is no school today because of the snow. He was still very disappointed, but o.k. with that explanation. I still felt terrible! I had even left $1 on the island to remind myself to get it tucked into his tooth pillow once he was asleep. Yeah, that obviously didn't work! Scott told me to leave a note from the tooth fairy with the $1 telling Jake that she didn't want to track snow through the house. I did it & Jake bought it & was thrilled!! Whew, Scott saved the day and the tooth fairy's reputation all before 8 in the morning.

NO SCHOOL TODAY

The snow has cancelled school for us today. While I am not looking forward to making the day up at the end of May, I have to admit that I am pretty happy! I have my house picked up...gifts from this weekend have a home, laundry is done & errands have been run. Bills are paid, appointments made, plants watered, I've begun gathering tax docs. I have dinner figured out for the weekend, I've started Jake's b-day thank you's and I've even worked on some volunteer obligations. However, I haven't run the vac, swept floors or cleaned bathrooms. What a perfect day to catch up on that stuff! Now I'll be able to enjoy the upcoming 3 day weekend without having those chores hanging over my head! YES!!
