My childhood memories are full of wonderful days spent "sledding" in a cardboard box in the backyard instead of going to school. We would drag our box to the top of the hill then ride to the bottom where we were stopped by the side of the house :) I usually played until my box got 2 wet to ride in anymore. When it was time to go inside, Momma would meet us at the door and take off our wet clothes. Then we would sit on the harth and get warmed up by the wood stove. I can still remember the excitement that came from learning that there was no school and we could sleep in.
As a working adult, I drove to work on many snowy mornings longing for a "snow day" to keep me home. So when I woke up this morning and took my kids to daycare in less than favorable driving conditions, I was already dreading the drive to school and the walk across campus to get to my classes. But guess what?! My classes were cancled for today! I got a snow day!!! I planned to spend it napping and relaxing but instead did laundry and worked on the house. Not exactly the snow days of the past, but nice still the same.
We can only hope for a hurricane day or two from August until November - and I only like the ones that don't involve power outages and fallen trees! I would LOVE a snow day!!! :)
