I remember when the words snow day would cause me to panic a bit. The thought of not sending them to school and to find things for them to do all day would have me mentally exhausted by 9 am.
Now, I'm the one praying for one just to keep them around the house a bit more. It's crazy what ten years will do to your outlook.
I love a lazy day when there are no scheduled plans. It's that rare day when only Mother Nature can predict what you'll be doing, or not in this case. I have learned to find that magic when nothing goes according to plan, but it's still okay. Even better, really.
When the kids get older, it's a gift to have them around the house even for a little bit. Between school, practices, social events, school events, and work life isn't the same as when we would wish them to school even on the gift of a snow day.
So, as this wicked winter continues to kick our butts, I hope you have a warm place to be today. Find a snowy throwback Thursday picture of your own and post it somewhere.
Make hot chocolate.
Pancakes for breakfast!
Read by a fire.
Curl up and watch a movie.
In my case, I'll have two space heaters going in my office :) But that's okay... I had the time this morning to at least write about the snow day.
That's something, right?
Happy Thursday!
