Anticipation

5:15 am - LM is in the shower, I am on the couch watching the scrolling list of closures across the TV screen while I watch the latest weather updates.

5:30 - LMasks for an update. So far, school is on, but more and more cancellations are coming up as I watch.

5:35 - LM gets breakfast, reading his latest James Patterson book. Mom watches the announcement that the school she's to sub at today is closed. Not good news. The computer is booted up, hoping to pick up a sub position elsewhere today.

5:45 - LM is brushing his teeth with just a few minutes before we head out to meet the bus at the curb. Mom opens the bathroom door and announces LM's school has been closed. LM gives a shout for glee!

5:50 - Mom starts to search the computer for the one last district that isn't closed yet hoping for a sub job.

5:52 - Mom sees the last school district in the area announced as closed on the TV. Mom gives a frustrated moan. LM is stationed on the couch, already absorbed in his book.

I can't wait for us to both cheer when we have a snow day.

Make the best of the unexpeted day off! I have to admit, I'm more than a little jealous. Driving to work this morning was not so fun.
