Blooming Where I'm Planted!

Welcome to my Monday!
After being home for SIXTEEN (16!) days for winter break, my sons were scheduled to return to school today….f-i-n-a-l-l-y-!

Well, I’ve been denied! Mother Nature, in an apparent bid for “Last Comic Standing” has, on her very own schedule, tossed a big lake effect snow storm at us. Picture this… the little red wagon… old fashioned shape but with the bigger, updated, thicker tires… upside down in the back yard. Now completely invisible. Gone.

Hubby got called out to work last night and ended up putting his truck in a ditch on his way home. Luckily he only works 2 miles from home. He walked back to the shop at 3am and got in the tow truck and drove back to our road and winched himself out. Then after towing his truck back to the shop, unhooking it and heading home again, he got stuck in the driveway. So, he ended up warming up the plow truck and plowing the driveway before coming back to bed.

So anyway, in the face of all the irritation this little storm has dumped into my lap, I give you….

The Top 8 Reasons Why I ♥ Snow Days!

#8 Snow drifts in my yard sometimes exceed 4 feet in height.

#7 It gives me an excuse to stay home.

#6 I find snow absolutely delightful. Watching it dance to the ground is bliss in my world.

#5 I’m wearing fuzzy, warm socks. I ♥ fuzzy, warm socks!

#4 I laugh watching the weather forecasters scramble about because lake effect snow is nearly impossible to predict and they all end up looking like asses before the storm clears.

#3 Watching the dogs run, play, and chase through the snow.

#2 My man drives a tow truck. Nuff said.

And the #1 reason that I ♥ snow days is:
There’s so much damn snow on the ground by the time they FINALLY decide to close schools around here that, if the kids are home, they spend most of their time

OUTSIDE PLAYING IN THE SNOW!!!!

I hope your Monday is going wonderfully :)
