Think back just a couple weeks... unexpected snow flurry which shut this place down... many of you remember... b/c you were either stuck in traffic, slept at work, or had kids you had to find, pick up, or have them sleep at school. If you weren't caught somehow, you just got lucky. There's 1000 kids on average, if not more, at every public school in Wake Co. Now count how many schools there are... I can't... now count mother's AND father's trying to call at the same time b/c they can't get in touch with each other to figure out who will handle the kids and who will try to get home.
That's a lot of freakin phone calls!! :) David McD On Fri, 4 Feb 2005 12:22:37 -0500, U.
