Wants to have a snow day that will turn its parents into kids

This morning I woke to about 4 inches of snow on the ground with snow still falling. My first thought was "Great a snow day, no class." Then I remembered, I'm an adult. I miss snow days. It was always a happy surprise to wake up and then find out that you have the whole day to yourself and no classes. And then go play outside for hour before coming back inside to the warmth and hot chocolate. Now all I think when it snows is "Great, now I have to scrape my car and its going to take forever to get to the lab because people can't drive in snow." Actually traffic wasn't too bad, I think people know to expect snow every year so they at least know how to drive in snow. And, the city did a pretty good job of plowing the major roads.

I declared a snow day for myself - I pretended I COULDN'T get out of our driveway - I could if I really HAD to, but pretending to be snow-bound (because I have the extraordinary luxury of staying home when I want to) is so satisfying! Wish you were here so I could make the hot chocolate for you!
