Okay, you are probably wondering why I write so many posts about snow. First of all, I'm a desert rat and I really don't like snow. I prefer lounging under the sun, sitting by a pool (in my own backyard of course) sipping a margarita. Since I don't have that luxury lifestyle I get to put all my energy in to one thing and that's focusing on the snow. Because this is the time of year is the only time of year that I'm always hoping the snow will get me out of work. Out of work you ask? Yes, out of work, like not going to work at all. And no, I'm not lazy. I actually don't mind working, I just don't want to work far from the house anymore and I'd prefer to work part time again. But since I can't, I'll take any free day off from work I can get and right now, snow seems to be doing a good job at it.
So today, work gave us a 2 hour delayed start. Shocked but I'll take it. I got up early and even Cody got up early which bummed me out cause I really wanted to sleep in till 7am. Oh well. I turned on the news and saw that his day care was opening 3 1/2 hours late which meant 10am. Public school is closed so here's my dilemma. If I drop Cody off at 10am I possibly wouldn't get to work till 11:00am with icy roads and driving slow. Or....say screw it and just take the entire day off. Hummm.....Do you think that was a hard decision? Not really.
Well, I actually called Ken to get his opinion. He told me the roads were icy. And if he was me, I'd just stay home. Then I called my co-worker who went in. He said it wasn't terrible out but if I had the time off, I wouldn't bother. 2 men encouraging me to stay home. Either they are super concerned about my safety or deep down inside, they know I just want to chill and not deal with the drama.
Anyway, I stayed home and it was awesome!!! I kept Cody home with me and we had a great day.
I planned to do a project with him. I have this large picture frame and was going to have Cody draw/paint a construction vehicle on it. But wouldn't you know it, I couldn't find the paints anywhere. I have no idea what I did with them but I know I didn't throw them out. I hate it when that happens. So, we just did other fun things together. We even went out and finished shoveling the rest of the snow off the driveway. By the way, the weatherman said Ashburn got 7 inches. You would never know it because it's been blowing all over the place. And it's really light snow. Not heavy at all.
So as I was home all day with Cody I've come to the conclusion that I'm meant to be a stay at home mom. I love my house and I love my family. It was so cold out and it's so cozy inside. I had so much time to do stuff which included making a really yummy pot roast in the crock pot. I'm telling you, this one really turned out so good!
Playing hookey is fun but the weather gave me the excuse to take off. Thanks snow day and I'm sure in a few weeks, I'll be asking for another 7 inches or more.
