Ice Day

My alarm usually goes off at 5:26 am each morning for work. I admit, it sucks, but you gotta do what ya gotta do. This morning the phone woke me up. At 5:20am....at first I didn't realize what time it was, because its dark. My boss was on the line, telling me that school was cancelled... I was shocked to say the least. My foggy brain had to question her again.

You see, we're on the coast, and its not unusual to get rain when inland gets snow. The weather reports were saying rain for the coast. They were SURE it was going to be rain. So, I went to bed last night expecting no school delay and no cancellation. Hence my surprise.

We're living in a icy wonderland. Dangerous to say the least, but awfully pretty to look at.

I tried to go back to bed... and it just didn't happen. So disappointing. The kids and I love to sleep in and its not uncommon for everyone to sleep in past 10 am during vacations and summers.

I seem to be the only one with this problem today though, so I'm enjoying the peace and quiet with my second cup of coffee, watching the news. Oh, and thank goodness today is Chris' day off so no traveling for anyone today.

Lucky for me I'm in the middle of working on a cute baby hat for a friends baby, and now I'll actually get to finish it today. Yay for snow day knitting. And as soon as I buy another memory card for the camera (Emi claimed mine for her new camera!) I can start posting some pics. Darn teenagers ;)
