SNOW DAY


I remember in Elementary school I would watch the news the night before it was supposed to snow a lot. I would hope that school would be closed or at least that we would have a two hour delay the next day. I couldn't imagine the days that I worked forty hours (or sixty hours if you are talking about my last rotation) a week and didn't get snow days. And I am still not able to imagine those days!
Wednesday we had a snow day at work! It was amazing! I must also tell this, though......I woke up at 6:00 am to check the news channel to see if our building was closed. It wasn't. I set my alarm for 7:00and went back to bed. I left the apartment at 7:30 that morning. Luckily I had my snow boots up to my knees that day. There was over a foot of snow outside. And it was still snowing.
Mark purchased a carport for me when it started getting cold. There was only one available and he let me have it! :) I was easily able to get out of the carport. Then the road came. Mark and I live on very busy roads. They are always well kept. Not Wednesday morning. They were covered in snow! I called Mark to warn him that he probably wanted to wake up early because he was going to have to DIG his car out if he wanted to go to work. Then I called one of my co-workers to see if he had made it safely.
That is when he told me our building was closed. That is when I realized I couldn't turn around. That is when I realized I should have checked the internet one last time before I left the apartment. That is also when I realized that I couldn't turn around. I had to drive WAAAAY out of my way to get to our apartment. I finally did, though.
I got stuck pulling into the carport. haha* My husband had to help push and dig me out for about 45 minutes. He was happy. And dressed in business casual. lol... We FINALLY got it in the carport about 8:45. Mark finally left for work around 11:00... He got to work about fifteen minutes later... Sheesh. Only two hours late. :D
Essentially I blogged all day. And scrapbooked. I wonder what I did on my snow days ten years ago? Probably not that.....
