Did we miss so much...back then

I don't know if my memory is fading...well it is a little, but looking back on elementary school I don't remember having so many days off. And not only missing them completley, but to have early out for one whole week during parent teacher conference...I mean really. OK I do love my kids and its great to have them home, but don't they need to be in school as much as we did (so they can be as smart as their mother :) It is also cramping my christmas shopping. Oh well...I guess I will stop complaining and go shopping!!!
