Tomorrow marks the 4th snow day that our kids will be out of school...they only have 10 snow days for the year, and it's only the middle of January...hmmmm. The strange thing is that I've been driving kids around for the past four days at all hours of the day and night and am wondering where's the line between safety and something else!
Actually these snow days have provided our family with an extended reprieve that I am kinda liking! It's nice to sleep in, not have an agenda to stay on top of...and if we blow the hours in our day, it's okay!!! In a world that's consumed with time management and accomplishing more in less time, these days are the very proof that we need to take back more of our time and accomplish a little less...
My girls and I have actually caught up with one another and what we've been dreamng about...they've actually been able to spend time with friends...and if they stay up late, it's to read for pleasure or talk rather than stressing over an assignment or a project due. Though this time will be short lived and school will soon be back in session making up for the lost days, it's nice to reclaim our family time! With Keith home, laid up from shoulder surgery, it's made the time even more memorable! With all the the curve balls life has been throwing at us lately, it gives me reason to pause and remember that my cup does indeed runneth over...
