First Day Of February

The snow has been falling all day.  I'm shocked that there were no school delays, closings or early dismissals.  Schools are usually so quick to close, even if it's just a warning that snow is on it's way.  But today snow is falling and covering and yet school was in session.  Personally, I don't mind it and I pray everyone makes it home safely but having a school day on a day like his is unusual.

This has been quite a week.  The kids got out early on Tuesday, Wednesday was a 2-hour delay and Thursday was a 3-hour delay.  The school is doing all they can to avoid school closings this year.  Most of the time the closings are unnecessary but I'm all for putting the safety of the kids first.  I also love my quiet time and I'm glad to have some of that today.

When I came home from work I went outside with the dog.  I was hoping to play around with him a bit but he quickly did his business and rushed back into the house.  Snow is not fun for a pug, I guess.  Staying inside under the covers is more his style.  I can't say I blame him. 

Now it's time to get some housework done until the kids get home.  The house is filled with the smell of freshly baked chocolate brownies.
