Do you babysit?

OK, the snow is awesome and I love it, and I hope it keeps coming!
HOWEVER!
Buses can put chains on and if not, I'll volunteer my husband to shuttle kids up the hill to school. I'm guessing most mothers would put their kids in a sled and pull them uphill (both ways if necessary) to get them to school. School is good, kids need this institution, if only to keep them in good standing with their mothers. It keeps the peace and harmony. We say Peace on Earth every Christmas Season but that only works if the kids can stay on the "good list." Let's face it, absence makes the heart grow fonder!
I mustn't complain too much. My kids have been remarkably good. Our biggest drama has been putting on all the snow gear to go out for 5-minutes then drive me nuts complaining they want to come in cuz it's too cold. Plus, dads been home a lot and he just doesn't understand that wearing tights under a short skirt in the sub-zero temperatures is considered dressing for the weather. Made perfect sense to me, but was a little dramatic where the head-o-household is concerned.
Well it's been three snow days now-will they make it FOUR?

Yes, I'm available to baby-sit, but the problem is how do I get there? Love you---

Yes, I've babysat for 6 years and I believe I am well qualified. I clean, play with the kids, and my specialty is making red and green pancakes. And of course, who can forget movies!!
