It’s hard for me to imagine anyone not knowing what a fog delay is, but just in case…

During this time of year (November to February) we get fog in the mornings. Really bad fog sometimes. Driving in the fog can be pretty hairy and sometimes downright dangerous, therefore, school districts will call for a “fog delay” which means school starts 2 to 3 hours later than usual.

99% of the schools had a fog delay today. Our district had a 3 hour delay, which is nice. Everyone hangs around in their PJs. We watched the Today show because we love Matt, Katie, Al and Ann. And, apparently, we aren’t afraid to admit it. Although, if we ever traveled to New York you would NOT find us outside screaming or holding signs while Al did the weather… just in case you were wondering.

Anyway, a three hour delay means school starts at 10:55am for Ethan and 11:10am for Kate. Which isn’t so bad… until you realize that Ethan only gets 30 minutes for lunch. Which isn’t even that bad either. Where they get you in the beeehind is when you find out that the kids don’t get OUT of school until 3pm and 3:30pm. And, as silly as it may sound – that extra 30 minutes is a killer for some of us.

Ok, maybe just me.
