Snow, or rather Ice Day

All weekend it was forecasted that we would get nasty weather last night, and Kins informed me every opportunity she got that she would not have school on Monday. I kept telling her, just wait and see what happens, we don't know if it will actually be that bad. Last night she told me that she could stay up late because she wouldn't have school today. I informed her too bad, I still have to go to work. I got the call from School district at 5:30 this morning that school has been canceled. I must say that I love this new system, not having to get up and watch television or listen to the radio to hear the school cancellations, they call me and let me know. In the past, it never failed that I would sit so patiently waiting to hear the school cancellations, and then oops, get distracted right before they came on and miss it, and then wait patiently and dang it, missed it again. This works out very well!

Kenneth and I had already discussed that if there was no school today, I would just bring the girls to him, but that he might have to work over a little depending on the roads and if there were any accidents. So I let the girls sleep in a little, knowing that I could just throw them in the car in their jammies. When Kins woke up the first question out of her mouth was "..School Today?" There was something before the school today, but she was half asleep and entirely too excited for me to make out what the mumbling was. When I said, no, there's no school, she exclaimed "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!" and then took off down the hall in a dance that can only be described as a rendition of Pee Wee Herman with a little Jim Carey thrown in. I really wish I had a video. I just shook my head.
