I called home (NY) this morning and it had just snowed. My mom works at a public school and she had the day off due to a Snow Day.

I remembered how awesome they are and how much fun I would have when I was little on those special spontaneous days off. I would get up and hope upon hope that there would be enough snow on the ground to call it a day. When the phone rang, I'd yelp with joy; it would be the school or a P.T.A. member calling to say school was cancelled.

Snow days are one of the best things about winter.

And now that I live in California I will never have them again. Sadness. If I have kids and they are raised here, I can't imagine them not knowing what a Snow Day is and how mich fun it can be. It'll be like a part of their childhood is missing.

What's a winter without a Snow Day?

ps. I am SO embarassed by my drunkin' post. I sound like a total idiot. I'm really not a lush people. Really. No seriously.
