Awesome is getting up at the buttcrack of dawn and preparing to take all of the kids to school by mainlining massive amounts of caffeine only to notice they are mysteriously all still asleep well past the norm.

Awesome is finally being notified that they had a 4 day weekend on the FOURTH FUCKING DAY!

All jacked up and nowhere to go.

The communication skills of teenagers are woefully inadequate.
 
Awesome is getting the school email and knowing my kids schedule better than they do.

Awesome is sipping my second cup of coffee in complete silence before heading out the door on 'late start' days.
 
We had Thurs.-Mon. off. Of course Mrs. Walt and Walt Jr. were both sick the whole time.
 
The only reason I keep up with school days off, is that when the kids are off, I get to sleep in. So I pay attention very closely.

And you're in the same county we are, yet my kids got sat-tues.

I'm sure we were notified. In fact, I have no doubt that said notification was delivered amongst the incessant automated phone calls and emails sent every fucking day, for every stupid fucking unimportant bullshit reason they can think of.

It is honestly both exhausting and maddening. Sometimes 3 calls per day, never less than 1. Almost always because little Johnny had a bowel movement or little Susie got her fucking braces removed.

I hate to say it, but I don't listen anymore, and I don't read the emails. It's so bad that I seriously considered changing the phone number on file to the nearest Taco Bell. You can't get through dinner without the gawddammed school calling 2 or 3 times.

Conversely, in the midst of a BIG deal involving two students at my kids' High School over these past few weeks who were indefinitely suspended and facing expulsion due to the discovery of weapons in their cars, went without a single fucking call or email from those assholes... and I'm not the only one calling "foul" on that.

Btw, both kids had pocket knives in the vehicles they drove to school. Both were driving trucks belonging to their Dad's at the time, both have no history of trouble, one is Honor Roll, the other Lettered in 4 sports. Both were "caught" during a random search with a drug sniffing dog, the dog "alerted" to both vehicles, no drugs were found in either...

That is so unbelievable that there should be another word to express just how unbelievable. A pocket knife in a vehicle puts someone into a position in which they are suspended and facing expulsion.

Great use of resources.
 
LOL. One of my sons friends made a little comment to his counselor about his deep dislike for their principle, (which is a shared feeling between many students and faculty) but due to a poor choice in his wording, he is now facing 2 counts of intent to terrorize. The poor dumb kid has no filter, but this is insane.
 
@OGG i'm sorry. but being a parent of kids in school requires you to write these days on a calendar on the fridge (or close by).
those holidays are predetermined and you can find it out by going to the school web site and copying them onto the calendar.
just sayin'
