I probably run my dishwasher about twice a month. Usually because I'm already washing pots from cooking, so I might as well was most everything else. I've been trying to use the dishwasher more, as my BFF's mom told me that her friend didn't use her dishwasher and the seals dried and cracked, so that when she did use it, it leaked.

Huh. I know sometimes my water in general takes a long time to heat up, so many I should be more strategic with the timing.

How much have you gotten? It's coming down a little harder here, but nothing has accumulated.

We've got about this much:

Hard to judge accumulation with this much wind, but at least 6-8" so far and it's supposed to keep snowing until about midnight.

The nanny thing is ridiculous. If her kid(s) were in Daycare she would have to pay anyway unless she gave them a huge amount of notice.

Perhaps she and the nanny need to negotiate a "snow day" policy.

I should probably take advantage of the snow day and do laundry, but I really don't feel like it.

I really AM gonna go clean now. Verizon's routers are having issues. I can get through to facebook from my vpn, but not via verizon.

The whole let's-not-pay nanny thing is making my eyes roll a disturbing amount, especially considering I have no skin in the game. Aren't the nannies watching the most important parts of these parents' lives? Maybe they should be treated, and paid, accordingly?

And teachers and tutors and librarians and and and ...

And, unless you as the parent don't get paid for snow days, it's not like you are losing any extra money. re the parents complaining about themselves being unjustly enriched? I doubt it.

Snow days are the worst when you get paid by the hour, for sure.
