Snow Day! Snow Day!


Well, I woke up to a blanket of white and my initial reaction was the same as when I was a kid-"Hooray! Maybe school will be canceled!!!" Naturally, the decision was held off just long enough for me to get ready, walk the dog, scrape off my car and be literally heading out the door. But, I'm not really complaining because I didn't have to drive anywhere. For a few moments, I then wallowed in sadness regarding how late our school year is going to be this year... (almost to July now, I believe) but then someone reminded me to "enjoy today and worry about this summer later." Good advice and I must say that one of the perks of being a teacher is the random "snow days" where you can stay at home and really do nothing all day and feel ok about it. So, I knitted, got caught up on Lost, played in the snow with my dog, ran errands, and now I'm about to make a real home cooked meal. Sounds like a pretty nice day, hey? It's such a nice break to have a complete day with no schedules or expectations.
