We did, indeed, have a snow day yesterday. I woke up nice and early (the ungodly hour of 6:45!), to see what the radio was saying about the weather and about other school closings, and even once I knew for sure I wouldn't be going in to work, I still couldn't fall back to sleep. So I sat in the glider and did some writing by the light coming in the front door window, and watched a couple episodes of The West Wing until Sarah woke up.
I spent most of yesterday working on this story I need to finish for a Holiday story exchange I inflict on myself every year. Joe came home several hours early, and we all spent the evening having Random Vegetable Soup (so named because its exact ingredients depend on what's in the crisper) and brownies, and staying warm in our cozy little home.
Right now Joe and Sarah are out in the snow while I finish up my story. This afternoon we're off to friends' for some board games and movies. I'm trying to give myself permission to really relax into my vacation, to let go of all the work I'd like to get done in these two weeks, and just enjoy my day of leisure.
About Me
- Elizabeth
- I'm a homeschooling mom, an activist, a lifelong learner, an expatriate New Yorker, an amateur musician. I'm passionate about music, food (making it, eating it, and making sure it's safe, healthy, and plentiful for everyone), civil liberties, social justice, education reform, and books. My past lives have included stints in the fields of social work, tech support, and alternative education. My super secret goal is to be part of a band that's just good enough to play at local pubs and get paid in bottles of Original Sin hard cider. Well, that and to take over the world.
