School is closed. Not because we got a bucketload of snow or because of an ice storm. But because it is so cold you could freeze your nose off just standing outside waiting for the bus to come.
-38
Now that's cold, people (even if it is a wind chill factor).
So, I don't know whether to whoop and holler - I mean, it is an excuse to stay home in our pjs all day watching movies, reading books, coloring, etc. - or to moan and groan. Because it is not a snow day, everyone, and the kids will not be playing in the snow making snow men and snow angels (because personally, I prefer that my kids keep their noses and all). They'll be cooped up inside all day long and my house will become a Barbie haven.
Or a popcorn pit (complete with candy stuck all over the floor).
Or a fun house complete with tunnels, wacky mirrors and bouncing walls. And the running and screaming, jumping and tackling will not end until the ride is over. I might need my Pepto today and my Advil and well, unfortunately there's no prescription for stir crazy.
Don't worry about me. I have a working heater (hallelujah!), coffee, praise music and three adorable faces to keep me sane this morning. And once I get out from under the piles of Barbies and popcorn, I'm sure this is going to be a wonderful sunshiny day.
