It's Melting!

Yippee! We had another day without school today. My emotions were mixed. I have to figure out how to alter lesson plans for the three days we missed. At the same time I was really happy to not drive through the four inches of cold, melting slush in the streets to work this morning.

After the cold and snowy long weekend, temperatures soared to the mid 40's today which really made the snow melt. I'm happy about that. While snow as it falls is really beautiful, the dirty slush is not. And the roads cleared up enough  for company to come over, a trip out for lunch and some grocery shopping before we try to get back to "normal" tomorrow.

Snow!

Snow. I woke up to none, but snow in other places canceled school today (tomorrow too) so I snuggled back into bed and waited for the urge to crawl out of bed and face a day with no plans, no agenda, and a mile long to do list.

All through the day I watched little flakes drift down. Not much. It never really covered the grass. I took care of a few chores: finished my online GEP class, mopped the kitchen floor, played a few hundred games on FB. Then boredom set in and I called my sister, mom and dad, an old friend.

Snow days were so much fun when I was a kid. As an adult, they just screw up my routine.

By the time the snow finally quit, there was 10 inches on my back deck!
