Ok let me clarify something before I even start this thing:
I HATE SNOW! I'm a California girl through and through. I hate winter, snow, ice, cold and slush. I don't ski, snowboard or do cold weather stuff. I prefer to not even deal with outside unless its at least 50 degrees. Ok, I lie, 60 degrees. I hibernate during the winter. DJ will go biking and hiking and I'm looking at him like he's crazy. That is not my idea of fun at all. My goal in life is to move somewhere I don't have to own a jacket. Are we crystal clear on my feelings on snow? Good! Now for the crazy part... I LOVE SNOW DAYS! Crazy right? Let me explain. I have a very busy family. On any given day we are all running around doing different stuff. We are often not all home at the same time. Clubs, playdates, friends, babysitting, appointments, naps, hiking, having people over, work, work from home, cleaning, cooking, laundry, church, life group, errands.... it never ends. The beauty of a snow day is no one is going anywhere. It's a bonus day. A forced sabbath from life's insanity. Yes, we are still doing some chores at home, but everyone is home to help.The kids and i got to wake up with DJ in bed with us with no reason to jump out of bed. The littles were so happy! We snuggled, laughed, looked at the snow outside and lazed in bed for a bit. Trinity and Sierra slept in late. It's a bonus day. A day unplanned and you cant avoid it. So enjoy your day! If you are an emergency worker or have to work today, I know what that's like, I used to have to do it as well. I appreciate all of you!! For those at home, stay home! Enjoy your family. Treat it like a bonus day, a sabbath day. I've got to run, I've got tiny people on top of me and I have to get ready to prep 20 dinners. Everyone is home to help!
