A “Snow Day” has had a lot of different meanings throughout my life. When I was a kid, a “Snow Day” was a really big deal and an unexpected day of fun! As a mom, a “Snow Day” meant I had to use a vacation day to stay home with Tess, but still, an unexpected day of fun…..now, a “Snow Day” basically means….. the floors are going to be a mess after the dogs go in and out all day long…..
But for some strange reason, I still feel a little excitement inside me when our school district rolls across the bottom of the TV screen. Maybe that feeling never goes away. Maybe I’m just weird.
After Mike and I took Kate to the hospital yesterday in the crazy snow, (for one last check up before she deliver’s baby Charlotte on Thursday), we stayed in and had soup and hot drinks all afternoon…..and watched Mike shovel the driveway. It was really a pretty quiet afternoon. The hardest part of a snow day for me is….not eating all day long. I kept busy doing a few things around the house, and after dinner, I got in my 5K training on the treadmill.
Tess found this free App, so we both decided to use it for our training for our 5K in April.
Today will be another “Snow Day”…. I think I’ll shovel the deck for the pup’s!
……and another challenging day of not snacking all day long……but at least I’ve kept my trigger foods out of the house since after Christmas, so snacks are likely to be veggies, smoothies or popcorn.
Two days in a row stuck at home is tough!! (There are a few delicious Pizza’s in the basement freezer that were calling my name all afternoon!!)
