School's Out!

School's out!
We got the predicted snow. In fact, we are still getting the predicted snow.
I can see a snow man in our not-too-distant future ... and another man - a man shoveling snow from our driveway. A man wearing a black knit hat and a black and green jacket who will push himself to the edge of a heart-attack, but stop, just before the critical moment hits. But his family will continue to hold out hope ...

I think a future of fortune telling may be in the cards ...

My son was awake at 5 am looking for the school closings, which scroll along the bottom of the television news.
And there were cries of joy when his school's name showed up.


Something I should have predicted and perhaps could have prevented ...
Being woken at 5 am just to be told that we did not have to be awake at 5 am.
Or to be more precise - on the one day where we could have had those extra few hours of sleep that we beg for every morning when getting up for school, we were already awake an extra hour early wondering if school would be closed.
And do you think we went back to sleep?
I don't think you have to have psychic powers to answer that one!
Seems a bit ironic don't you think?
