Snow Days

I hate snow, the cold, the slush, winter in general. I LOVE snow days, if I get off too that is. This winter storm has shut down half the city of Madison and surrounding burbs and even my dentist appointment got canceled. How cool is that?

Going to bed last night we all kinda knew that there would be no school for the kids and when the radio went off as the alarm at 10 to 6 it was confirmed. That was when I got up and went to the computer and lo and behold, ALL MATC campuses were closed today for the weather. I do not have class on Tuesday but I do go in to work at the Library. Then, as I lay dozing in and out of sweet dreams the phone rang and Casey came up the stairs to tell me that the dentist cancelled on me. No school, no work, and now no dentist, life is GREAT!!!

The kids spent a pretty good amount of time outside while I sat on the sofa under a blanket with my laptop and a big cup of coffee. Casey went out and played with the kids too, they made a super igloo using the recycle bin as a block maker. It looks awesome.

Having a snow day is a day off with no feelings that I should be doing something of importance. I know there are chores to do but this is a free day and they will still be there tomorrow. Sometimes living in Wisconsin in the winter isn't so bad after all.
