I have to ask... do you view a snow day as a bonus day to get stuff done or as a bonus day to do nothing? I viewed as a get nothing day! Unless you count a game of Risk with both kids, some Sequence games, a Jukem game and reading both alone and with my boy as doing nothing. Yes, then the college boy and I chatted for a couple hours and I tried a new recipe: Shrimp and Grits. Kept hearing about it on Top Chef, but finally a recipe kinda landed in my lap, I had all of the ingredients so I fixed it. YUMMY! Even my hubby (who I actually fixed a different dinner for) tried it and pronounced it good enough to make again. And I got all caught up on Desperate Housewives. And I shoveled snow. Yes, I viewed it as a do nothing day and it was perfect.
However, I must mention a new system! Remember a couple weeks ago when on the clear out phase? I deep cleaned both bathrooms? Well, Wednesday morning, I dashed around them with cloth and cleanser and in less than 10 minutes, they were spic and span again. Now I don't work on Wednesdays, so a quick bath clean should be EASY to fit into my day. So, Wednesday mornings, I will be cleaning the bathrooms. New system. Check in next week to find out if I was successful! Happy Saturday!
I like to think of snow days as God's way of grounding me. He's saying "slow down; breathe; relax; what's so important that you need to be doing anyways" and so much more. I love snow days. And you found a great way to spend yours!
