So yesterday, I listed the things I would rather be doing than being snowed in yet again during this dreary, snowy winter. After another 12+ inches of snowfall last night, I’m looking today at the bright side of all this unscheduled “free” time.
1. Sleeping in. That is, if I’m able to get back to sleep after determining that school has indeed been canceled. (Why must we always wait till dawn when it is readily apparent the night before? But I digress.)
2. Not having to go in to the office. Hee! No Merritt Parkway traffic for me!
3. Indulging in comfort food: French toast, soups, lots of tea.
4. Catching up on all those missed seasons of Mad Men. I’m saving those for when hubby is home. But when we have a snow day on the weekend, that’s a home run!
5. Spending time working on a jigsaw puzzle, straightening out my piles of paperwork, or reading that book that has been lying around untouched way too long. Things have to get pretty boring before this happens, but we passed “pretty boring” a few weeks ago.
6. Soaking up some time with my two teens. This is the best part of all! Even if we’re all staring at our separate laptops, just being in the same room together for extended periods of time is a rare and precious treat.
OK, so sometimes they’re a little camera-shy, but you can feel the love in this room, right??
I am actually quite jealous.
