*****Snow Day********
The phone rang, the caller ID confirmed that it was our school district's automated phone message system.... "School will be cancelled tomorrow due to inclement weather".....
The joy, the excitement... we are gonna have a snow day. Then the flip side of those emotions...
I don't like making these days up in May...and heaven forbid we have to make up more...and there we are in school in June!!!
Well, the happy side usually wins out. I was excited to hear...snow day! And what would I do?
My first thought was...well...if we get snow, I will have to take the kids sledding.... great opportunity for pictures!... but then I watched the weather report...
wind chill advisory.... SUB-ZERO temps....
\maybe sledding is not such a great idea.
they would probably just assume stay in and play with some of their new Christmas toys...

I slept in until 6:30. I caught up on ALL the laundry in the house....even on sheets.
Then I attacked the job that can only be done when you are "stuck " inside, with no escape!
I cleaned out cupboards, cabinets and closets, and silverware and junk drawers. After the holiday season, I always feel like my cupboards and such are a mess... my cupboard is often an "avalanche" hazard.
It took most of the day... well...until about 2:00. Then I did something that I seldom do...
I sat down , by myself in my clean, freshly dusted and vacuumed living room....and
read a book until Rowdy got home from work.
How wonderful. I love when I feel like I have been productive. I guess because it doesn't happen nearly often enough.
It was a good day- the kids were great. they entertained themselves and each other while I did chores. (I think they were trying to be unnoticed- hoping I wouldn't give them a list of things to do..)
Snow days. gotta love 'em
