Snow Days!



Even after a two-week break, there's still nothing better than going to bed anticipating that maybe, just maybe the meteorologists did (for once) sort of know what they're talking about - that maybe, just maybe, the snow they predicted would fall at midnight as they said it would. Just maybe. When Jackson woke up to potty around 11:40 in the night, though, I started to have doubts. There was no snow. Don't misunderstand: I love school. I'm glad to have the opportunity to teach - to do what I love. But... a snow day!? What is more magical than that. I went back to bed a little bummed out that my hopes had been raised only to be dashed. I woke back up to that beautiful sound of my husband saying my favorite Winter-words: "School's out!" No, I didn't jump out of bed, shouting praises. I tucked the blankets up around my neck and shoulders, rolled over to my other side, and drifted ever so peacefully back into bliss. This was no dream. We get our first snow-day of the year. And what a restful day it has been!

  1. I agree with you 100%, snow days are quite amazing but in a way I'm glad were back at school because I'm expecting to graduate in may, not in june! It was kind of bad though, exspecially the roads well the back ones at least. I almost got in a wreck like 3-4 times and we still had school. Really, like wonder if that was a bus, it probably would have went into somebody's yard or worse, their house! I dont know I'm really honestly ready for all the snow to melt though because I want to hurry and get this year over with and go ahead and start with my career and make my life useful for once instead of wasting my time. I love snow days but not all the time. Thats my opinion though!
