Last Monday, we woke up to a call from our school district announcing a 2
hour delay. Apparently, it was snowing, frigid and had the potential for
icy roads. I was thrilled to get the call. I love 2 hour delay
days. The boys and I get to sleep in plus it is practically lunch when I
get to work.
Around 8:30, the phone rang again. The delay had now become a complete
cancellation. I informed the boys (who were thrilled), but I knew that
now meant we would lose one of our Easter vacation days (bummer).
Since there was no school, the boys turned into video game zombies for most
of the day. They did eventually venture outside to play in the
snow. SJ claimed it wasn't good snow for building a snowman. I know
that wasn't true, since a ton of my friends posted pictures of their kids’ snow
creations online.
Around 1:30, I decided to go out and get some groceries. I was
hesitant at first, but the roads were fine by that point. When I got home
a little over an hour later, I reminded SJ that Mrs. Banks would not be coming
today. (It is a given that we don't have tutoring or speech therapy on
snow days, but he doesn't always remember that.)
To say SJ was happy would be a huge understatement. He was over the
moon thrilled that his unscheduled and unproductive day would continue. I
did make him complete his speech therapy homework, but that took less than 30
minutes to finish.
Since it is now April, I am hoping that will be our last snow day. I
am sure SJ will be hoping for another one soon. You never know with
global warming.
