Like the rest of the country, we have experienced a crazy cold snap here in Colorado. Everyone knows about the negative temps and the even more negative wind chill, and if you don't, just look on facebook, it's all anyone wants to talk about. But if you haven't looked on facebook, don't worry, you're not missing anything. Facebook is boring.
Anyway, this is the second day the kids have been out of school. It is not technically a "snow day" because there is less than an inch of snow. This a whole different experience. We're not confined because the snow is too deep to go anywhere. We're stuck because the air hurts your skin and your snot freezes the second you open the front door. There will be no sending the kids to the sledding hill. We are truly cooped up (or is it couped up?).
There are those moms who post (back to facebook again) about how much they love having their kids home for snow days. I love those moms. I love my kids too. I can't get enough of the guilt.
In all my days of living here I don't recall ever having a "hazardous weather day". I remember a week of -20 and below when I was in high school. I think that was the same year the soda exploded in the van. Don't get me wrong, I understand the logic behind the decision... I've seen those kids walking to school in a blizzard wearing shorts and no coat...
But today as the sun came out I wondered: "Is it because the administration hates indoor recess so much?" And who can blame them? It's what I've had for two days-- indoor recess-- and it sucks.

"In-door recess for two days."
Hilarious! You should write for Modern Family!
I always loved indoor recess. We would play Uno. I loved Uno.
...and today you are paroled...no more indoor recess...for you!
So I got two 12-packs for Diet DP at Target on Monday and kind of didn't feel like bringing the 2nd one in from the car (the first one had to be brought in IMMEDIATELY because I was out). Anyway, my thoughts turned to the exploded soda in the DTV that was that.
