The phone rang at a cozy 5 am in the morning. As I prepared myself to spit the most offensive word combinations I know I was cut off by the sweet sound of a robot. This is your child's school...calling to notify you that due to inclement weather there will NO SCHOOL today!!!
Don't get me wrong. I love teaching and I love my classroom, but there is nothing quite like a Snow Day. Something about an unexpected call giving you permission to wear your pjs all day, catch up on laundry and watch a guilty pleasure movie, today I opt for Lord of the Rings.
However, as I stay locked away inside trying to avoid frigid temperatures, knee high snow and the inevitable humiliating fall I feel more single than ever. I am like a modern day Rupunzel. Locked away in a tower (also known as a lovely one bedroom apartment home) trapped from the world ( I can blame that on the river). So I wait. For the snow to melt and evaporate. However I don't mind a 2 day work week culminating with the marriage of my best friend...Don't worry I'll have plenty to say about that later, but until then I'll sit back and enjoy the winter wonderland.
