Shovelling nachos.

Yes! The good men of Congress stayed home to protect their rugged homesteads from invading hordes of frosty beers. Bears...I mean BEARS! Did I say ‘beers’? Damn autocorrect[hiccup] iPhone!

As a stay at home mom who could really use a freaking sick day today and isn't getting one, word.

They had the PERFECT opportunity to classify feminine hygiene products as necessary goods and remove the luxury tax! Why did this not happen!

And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.

More snow then, please
