Is It a Snow Day Yet??

For 2 days it's been alluded to that we're going to have a snow day. The teachers have been saying it, the weather people, everyone....and for 2 days, we've had school. Much to the disappointment of my children and frankly me as well. I would love a day of wandering around in my pajamas and robe all day reading a book and watching the Christmas lights, clearly, I mean, who wouldn't. We have crap weather and it's freezing...why can't we just have a snow day because it's dismal and grey?? Well, this being the 2nd day of the hoped for snow day and still nothing, my son was ready to take matters into his own hands.

Me: Time to get dressed.
Me: Hurry up!
Me: Hello?
DJ: *Hack* *Cough* *Hack* *Fake Cough*.....
Me: I'm getting your toothbrush ready.
DJ: (More carrying on)
Me: You have Art today!!
DJ (pathetic): Mommy....I think you need to take my temperature.
Me: Why? You're fine.
DJ: I'm so warm, I'm sick.

Finally he did get up and get off to school, he learned the hard way, temperatures don't lie. Now he's relaxing, doing what he would have wanted to do if he had been allowed to stay home all day, in his words, "Mommy, I'm going to go home and lay on the couch and watch Indeejana Jones." Nothing like snuggling under your blanket with some animal crackers and good ol' Indeejana.
