Yesterday (December 18th) we had our second snow day. This one was nice, because Mike didn't have to go to work either. I baked more cookies, did some laundry, Mike took the kids on a jeep ride, and then we took the 4 wheel drive truck to town to do some grocery shopping and pick up Starbuck's gift cards for the kids' teachers to go along with all the cookies I had baked them. While at Starbuck's I ran into my principal and his family. I asked if he thought we would have school tomorrow (today). He assured me that we would, because the district wouldn't let us have yet another day off.
The alarm went off at 6:25 this morning a.nd Mike and I lay there listening to the radio assure us that all schools in the district were open, except for Landers (my old school) hadn't been assessed yet. So I got up and into the shower. Mike wasn't going to work today as we only have one 4 wheel drive vehicle and he would drive us to school, run some errands and then pick us up at the end of the day. We were all ready to go, the last thing I had to do was put my shoes on.
The phone rang and it was our friend Candy. Her daughter is in my class. She told me that the High School was closed and did we know if Yucca Mesa El was open. Mike told her he'd check and then his cell phone rang. It was the secretary from the District asking him if he could come in to work, since the schools on the west end of our district were closed and he didn't have to take his wife and kids to school. I still didn't believe it, so turned on the radio and darned if it was true. Apparently they couldn't get buses out of the bus yard, due to all the ice. Maybe they should have checked that first thing this morning.
So here I sit typing with my little dog Belle sitting next to me on the couch, bored out of my gourd. My kids are hating life, since they have to clean their rooms before they can do anything fun. I can't go anywhere and enjoy this day off, because my car would get stuck.
So has it become too much of a good thing??
