I woke up at 5:30 this morning to find my mother in my room trying to tell me something. All I heard was the word school. I had been in the middle of a strange dream [I've had those a lot lately] and for some reason what she said sounded like, "How was your day at school?"
I was so out of it that I simply replied with a confused, "What do you mean?" I'm sure I sounded crazy to her, considering what she had really said was we weren't going to have school today.
Somehow I was sane enough to update my status on facebook, and then I rolled over and went back to sleep for almost 7 hours.
When I finally woke up, I went to peak out my window to see the so called "snow" that had set us free from 7 periods of toture. [Okay, maybe school isn't quite that bad.] But when I opened the blinds, I found grass and blacktop with a couple wimpy patches of white on them.
Disappointed? Just a little bit.
I am still very thankful for being off today, I got 5 more hours of sleep than I normally would and I have the chance to catch up on a few things.
But next time school is called off I wish to gaze out my window and find a wintery blanket of deep snow so I can join my friends in some sleigh riding and possibly make a snowman.
Thank you God for this snow day and the many to come, but please not too many so we don't have to go to school in June again!!
