And Then There Was Day Two
Blizzard 2011. Snow Day #1 made the history books. 3rd largest amount of snow on record in Chicago {20.3 inches or something like that}. Chicago Public Schools closed down, the first time in twelve years.
We had a super great day. Check here and here for a recap on the fun we had.
And we got the news that CPS would close down again today. Two days in a row. In theory that is FANTASTIC news. In reality, it's bitter cold outside {think negatives} so we're indoors driving each other in sane.
I just wonder how it can go from just a perfect "Snow Day #1" to, well, um, non-perfect the next? Is it just me or are other mothers out there just praying that there isn't a Day #3 in the making? In fact, I'm so hoping for school tomorrow that I'm secretly, deep-down, wishing that they'd take our kids from 9am - 9pm tomorrow, to make up for lost time. {Just kidding, it really hasn't been that bad.}
As I perused Facebook today it was rather funny to see everyone 'crashing.' Comments like, "Please let there be school tomorrow." And "I'll take your 2 kids if you take my 4." Ya, we all wanted to send the little people in our lives back to school.
Here's to dreaming that tomorrow is a school day:

It was great while it lasted, folks. Great while it lasted. But now, Old Man Winter, let up and let us out.
