The first snow day of the season
I had quite a few dreams last night where we did have a snowday and where we didn't. It got so confusing that when my alarm clock finally went off at 5.30, I wasn't quite sure what to do at first.
I put my slipper socks on and managed to make my way across the hall to the bathroom--every morning is a challenge. I was just getting used to the light when the phone in my mom's room rang. I stumbled drunkenly out of the bathroom and blindly felt for the next door frame. By then my mom had answered the phone and I could hear her smiling.
"Snow day; go back to bed."
The damn thing about snow days is that I get so excited we have them that I sometimes have a little difficulty getting back to sleep. Today was one of those days. At first I was excited, and then I started to worry: our paper is never going to get out now; will the blood drive still run?; will Wednesday be a Tuesday or Wednesday schedule?; will I have that math quiz when I get back?
I'm over all that now. Sleeping in trumps nearly anything going on at school.
