Last night it took Charles 3 hours to drive home from work which usually takes 1 hour. That is a very normal time for "icey" roads. Well, we got up @ 5 AM (normal time) this morning to watch the news and be sure that there was school today. Kevin has to be at tennis at 6:30 every morning so there was no closing or delays for us and we headed off to tennis...
OK-no one was there, except for about 10 other parents and their kids. The place was locked tight. We hung around a bit(30 minutes) and gave up and came home. I got on the internet and discovered that our school posted a school delay until 10 AM @ 6:46 am-can I remind you we had to be at the tennis center at 6:30 meaning when the school finally posted a delay of school at 6:46 it was of NO use to us!. Which stunk for everyone in athletics-not just tennis!!! Now we are all(yep, babies and all up and dressed and ready for the day) but we have no where to go for 3 hours!
Don't get me wrong....I love for my kids to stay home from school!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I want them home ALL DAY not for 3 hours!
But a 3 hour kink in my day really isn't my idea of a snow day either.
So, no, it did not snow, just sleeted since the kids got home from school yesterday and continued until 9 am this morning.
The kids were so excited about the sleet yesterday(you see, this IS our SNOW) that they performed an experiment...they layed an ice cube on our deck to see how long it would take to melt. IT IS STILL THERE-not melted in any way.
This is not uncommon here to get ice(I think we got REAL snow once, seriously, ONCE! But the starting school at 10 AM is not something I am on board with. I just can't get my head around it.
Today was our~ it's NOT a Snow Day- delay of school snow day!!!
Sure feels good outside! Even if it is our best shot at a White Christmas.
