I used to think snow days were cool

Now they are just a disruption. I finally have a good routine down, at home, alone, during the day. I do my homework and catch up on old sci-fi shows, like Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Or shows I miss out on while attending class, like Survivor and Lost. So, anyhow, here I and my cat have this great routine, and next thing you know, school is cancelled, and I am suffering from overcrowding. Why is it children never want your attention until you are giving it to something else? If I wanted to play a game, Dakota would be busy. But when I am crunching on my homework, it's "hey, let's play chess."

I don't mean to sound like a complainer. I actually love that my son has not gotten to the point yet where he doesn't want to be seen with a parent. He is still huggy, and wants to snuggle when he doesn't feel good. But, children wreak havoc on efficiency.
