On Monday teachers were all in a twitter and pondering if there would be school on Tuesday. I, in my usual fashion poo pooed this notion and maybe even referred to them as ninnies. I even may have thought just, pack your dang flip flops and capris away and be ready to shovel
Well 2 DAYS later I had to eat my words. I have had two days at home with drifts as high as my waist, sledding, snowboots, snow pants and shoveling and more shoveling. I will say the beauty of it yesterday was spectacular and cocooning up felt good. Now all I can think about is 2 MORE days in May. Two more days added to a school year that has thus far has been far from stellar, fun, and at times down right miserable. And now two more days to add to the fun at the END.
Ok enough complaining...and here is what the snow days existed of, besides the constant footprints of snow, human and beast! I fitted in some yoga, uninterrupted work for two hours-that never happens in the office, Avatar with popcorn and a Small Fry. Very good wine, umm maybe starting at 3 in the afternoon. A couple of really good recipes, and eating too much of them. Shoveling to work off the excellent cooking, shoveling with a Big Fry who actually said thank you, sleeping in and possibly the best thing, no school! No crying kids that weren't mine, no angry parents, no pushing, shoving and scuffles to deal with, or tantrums by 5th graders (not mine)!
No agenda or plan...without the guilt, sometimes those days are the best.
