Let it snow!

The first snow day of the season.  I don't know what it is but I love a snow day.  Maybe its the throw back from those school days when we would wait in front of the TV or listen to the radio just waiting for the announcement.  I went to Villa Maria Academy so it was always at the end of the alphabetically ordered list.  Since my son has been in school I have had the extra joy of getting a personal phone call for my sister Tami.  She has saved me a drive in numerous times when I didn't think to turn on the TV or radio.  Now my son's school has an automated service to email and call at 6 am.  However, Tami still calls and I love it!

As an adult a snow day has different meanings.  For one thing I hate driving in stormy or icy weather.  I am concerned about my family and friends getting into accidents so I like to hear the driving ban in on.  Unfortunately it doesn't help me with my husband, because he has to go into work anyway.  

When I was working it wouldn't matter too much because I always had my laptop and as long as I had power at home and an internet connection, I could work.  The only issue was wanting to go outside and play with my son.  Distractions were endless.

I feel like I have a free day.  We are going to walk Elmwood, wrap gifts and make hot chocolate.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
