Snow Day!

It's Wednesday evening and I've been on my feet all day working on a project. It wasn't the kind of project that results in any actual cleaning or laundry done, but it was quite satisfying nonetheless and I am fairly pleased with the result.

Today was, as predicted, a Snow Day. The early morning email announcing school closure for the day was read on the iPod from the comfort of my bed. I lay there for half an hour trying to recapture the interesting dream I was having when the alarm went off, but I was already too much awake. When I realised that I had a Britney Spears song running through my head, I knew there was no hope. So I got up, made coffee and got busy.

The children emerged from their rooms one by one between 8 and 9:30 and the snow fell steadily all morning. Jess and Andrew went sledding a couple of times, but as the snow gradulally turned to sleet, it was becoming too wet to sled.

I honestly can't say that anything else worthy of note occurred today.DD1 spent a couple of hours singing this afternoon - she is audtioning for the role of Sandy in the school production of "Grease" tomorrow. She forgets it's her sister's birthday tomorrow and believes her parents to be unsupportive when they aren't tripping over themselves to drive all over whenever she wants them to.
