Snow Day

Yesterday we got 6″ of snow!! It’s all so pretty, but very scary to drive in. My typical 30 minute drive home took just under an hour last night. I got a call from my supervisor around 9pm last night saying our district was having a snow day today and that most everyone with kids would be out today. Also that if I didn’t want to risk the drive it was o.k. for me to stay home (of course I’d have to make up my time or use one of my paid days off – she always has to throw that in). Um, just because I don’t have kids to take care of doesn’t mean I’m not going to jump at the chance for a day off. I typically work through my lunches anyway, so making up the day will take no time at all.

And so I sit here seeing the sun shining through my windows and part of me feels guilty for still being in my pj’s. I guess I could go and work a half day – less time for me to make up. But why? Why do I care so much about work and what people think of me there? This is something I deal with every time I take an unexpected day off. Seriously, I work with a bunch of slackers. Why do I feel guilty for lounging around? Because I’m a good employee with that thing so many people I work with don’t have – a good work ethic.

As I type this my hubby is putting snow tires on my car. Now I won’t have the snow as an excuse to stay home from work anymore. And now I won’t have to worry so much about sliding through 4-way stops, which has almost happened a few times (a great way to get that heart pumping first thing in the morning).

I’m hoping to finish the mitered square tote I’ve been working on now for over a month. One strap to go and then felting. And I’d like to get my new photo software downloaded so I can post some of my holiday and snow pictures. And I think a big pot of chicken soup is definitely in order! So many things for only one snow day

Finally – pics from the big snow storm

It doesn’t look like much, but apparently 6″ is a lot for Boise/Meridian.
