snow day... is it really worth it?

Here in Michigan, our local news is infamous for predicting huge snow storms that really don't pan out. Breaking news... prepare for the worst... and we would get an inch of snow (now, in some states, this is breaking news, but here in MI, it's nothing!)

So, when my alarm went off this morning at 6a, there was already a new 5" of drifting snow, with more coming down fast, I was a bit surprised. All of the local schools were closed. An official "Snow Day". The kids were so excited to start their holiday break a day early.

My boss called me last night and said that I could work from home today (he is so awesome) which I thought was a great idea... until...

- I have had to yell at the kids numerous times to get away from my computer (they are both famous for closing out a program and losing all the work I have done)

- I have had to let the dog in and out of the back yard about 100 times already (he loves the snow, but only for so long)

- my hubby asked me to make coffee... and then breakfast...

I finally sent the kids upstairs with promises that we would go sled later this afternoon, and hubby just left to go run some errands and get us lunch. I now get to sit peacefully at my computer with a hot cup of black coffee and get to work!
