Yay! They finally decided to close the schools in Onondaga County.

Starting week after next, but kids who stay home starting this coming week are considered excused.

This means that I don't have to formally disenroll my kids and and begin officially homeschooling them.

Thank God.

If there's anyone in your household who you're worried about, I'd go ahead and keep her home anyway.

We pulled mine out because my mom is 80 and I'm 57. Neither of us wants to be the canary in their coal mine.
