Remember when you were a kid, and how excited you got when you heard your mom say, "no school, it's a snow-day."
My kids are so excited, the roads where we live are pretty snowy today and school was canceled. As an adult you think of everything that could have gotten done, how many errands could have been run. The kids think of snowmen, snow-slushies, watching movies.
When do we loose it, the spontaneity of what a snow-day brings? It is like we are being granted a free day. It's okay to eat yummy warm snacks, to watch movies all day, eat snow while throwing snowballs.
Yes, I have writing to do, I have writing goals for each day. Now, I have to adjust those goals. I will get some writing done but first I will enjoy my "free day" and play with the kids, drink some hot cocoa, and eat some warm cinnamon rolls and maybe if I'm brave enough get into a snowball fight with my nine year old.
My book will be waiting for me tomorrow, my children will only get a handful of snow-days, I'll take them while I can get them.
