to feel frazzled by DC due to snow day?

As it's snowed quite heavily here (currently about a foot deep), DD's preschool has closed for the day and my half day childcare for DS cancelled. Initially, I thought "what a pain", but then decided to make the best of it. OK, no problem, DS, DD and I went to a playgroup (at which she ran laps of the place towards the end while I tried to get her to sit for songs. Sigh. At least she then tidied up all the toys to help).

The lovely neighbour's children came over to play with DD, so I figured I'd get DS to nap over lunchtime and I'd do some chores (MN) and grab a cup of tea. And we've been invited out to tea to a friend's whose daughter is also having a snow day. So I figured that the day would kind of look after itself.

But we skidded in the car earlier, so not sure I can even go out later (bloody 4x4- doesn't it know it's meant to be able to deal with snow?!), DS hasn't gone to sleep yet, DD has had 2 accidents (she's 4, this never happens), I've 3 loads of laundry clean but wet in a laundry basket, kitchen looks like a bomb hit it and I feel like I've lost the will to live.

Does anyone else hate snow days?

Snow makes me feel really wired and 'odd' - I can't describe it but I do feel less able to cope than normal iykwim?

Hi yes I hate it too. I just hate being stick in the house. My two boys have been quite good, it's me who's going stir crazy. I have got quite a lot of washing and cleaning done though!

I'm so glad it's not just me! DS doesn't like snow (though to be fair, he's only 1), but DD loves it. I hate it- I feel penned in, and cold and I feel like I have to hold my tongue from praying it'll thaw soon, as everyone else seems to love the bloody stuff!
