HOW MANY SNOW DAYS?!

Last week, we went about our daily lives like usual, but Monday night we were informed that a storm was heading our way and we were supposed to be getting a lot of snow (well a lot for here anyway.)  So, I got excited and started banking on the fact that Tuesday would be a snow day.  I was mostly looking forward to no pick-ups/drop-offs or any other driving.  Well, Tuesday, we did get dumped with snow, Wednesday we got a little, Thursday the roads froze and Friday much of the plowing still needed to be done.  So, the first day was great with kids at home, the second was a pleasant surprise, but the last two got a little long for the girls.  Thursday we decided to be nice and take them to dinner since Dad and I had be neglecting them and organizing the house.  So, their vote was McDonald's--it was closed, we drove across the street to Taco Bell--it was closed, so we finally ended up at Burger King--whose drive thru was open.  It was an odd day.  That day our Mayor even declared a 'family day' where everyone was supposed to stay in doors, at home and just be with their family---I thought that was neat.  Then, yesterday we were on a two-hour delay and most other school districts were cancelled.  So, between several days off for the wind storm back in October and the snow days last week, I have a feeling school is going to get extended at the end of the year! Uugh!  And I was so looking forward to a month at home in June.  Guess we'll see what happens!
