Snow Day! No School, but No Snow...

This morning I was woken by these words from Troy ..."I just got a call from my coworker, school has been cancelled today". Troy had gotten Carson up and ready for school and was on his way out the door to take Carson when he got the call.

No school, good for Carson. I expected that when I looked out the window that we would see piles of snow or at least a blanket of it. No such... I began to question the information Troy had been given. I quickly checked the website and found that indeed school had been cancelled. Apparently due to ice. Carson was already up so that meant I was going to be up to. No problem, I should be anyway, but I had thought I might get a few more winks of shut eye.

Carson and I headed to the couch to stay quiet and watch a little TV so that Ephraim would stay asleep. Yeah right!!! Shortly after we set down, Ephraim awoke. Glad to see brother, sad there was no snow. Oh well, now we were all up.

I have been wasting the day away, I am sad to report. Still haven't finished my Christmas cards. I just can't get myself motivated to finish. I am in the final stretch really. Cards are addressed, pictures are ready, letter written, return labels waiting to be affixed. I just need to print the letters, and enclose, then label, stamp and lick. I should be getting my children involved. These are mostly steps they could handle. Instead, I am writing this and they are begging me to come so we can make the gingerbread kit I promised.

Okay, it is in writing now, I am going to get up and go do what I need to do. But before I do, one last thing... I wanted all of you to know that our prayers have been answered as far as Troy's job being protected. Troy's boss told him today that his job was secure as of now. We are thankful for God's provision for our family. Good news on a "no snow, snow day". Now, if only the cards were done and the gingerbread house made. On to that business now.
