Nothing like a snow day to remind you why you needed that weekend away.
A snow day on a Monday is the ultimate parental kick in the crotch.

Survival of the fittest. But it's just you and your husband both trying to drink coffee and shower at the beginning of a snow day.

Snow day, from the Latin meaning, to drink all the booze and eat all the foods.

I was thrilled when I didn't have to make lunches.
But now, it's 9:11 am, the kids are fighting & I'm praying for rain.
"Survivor," except it's a battle of wills between a child and parent on a snow day.

The silver lining of this snow day: my 3rd grader was going to bring home a recorder today. He and I have opposing views of this situation.

As a mom every #snowday is a series of making food, doing the dishes and attempting to avoid stepping on all the wet clothes in socks.
