Snow Days
Oh the joy and excitement when you wake before the crack of dawn like any other school day and look outside the window to find a white blanket of snow covering the ground. You go downstairs, turn on the TV, and check the news for cancellations. You wait forever because with your luck you just missed the "F's" so you wait until they come around again. Finally, it gets to the "E's" and wait in suspense hoping your school is listed. Then, victoriously, "Faith Baptist School: Canceled" pops up at the bottom of the screen and it is in that moment when the feeling of utter ecstasy takes hold. You feel that life is finally worth living. You are overjoyed with delight and you can't help but celebrate. After awhile of excited celebration you get overwhelmed with exhaustion due to awakening so early so you head back upstairs, collapse onto your bed, and fall into a blissful sleep to awaken at a decent hour.
So wonderful right:)I spent the day being lazy. This post was well written. I like the suspense you put in with the thought of waiting for Faith Baptist to come up.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice to have the day off. :) I love how you wrote this it was perfect because that is exactly what I did today.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have said it better, except for I woke up very late and didn't have time to check my T.V. Instead, I wake up to various text messages telling me to go back to sleep, torture will resume tomorrow. Thank you for reminding us all why life is worth living.
ReplyDeleteI know this isn't a paragraph, but all I can is that I had better be getting my hooky day back -_-
ReplyDeleteI am glad you could fall back asleep. Personally, I could not, but enough about me. Wonderful blog, I think everybody in America can relate to this. Except for kids in Texas who do not get snow, ever.
ReplyDeleteTrue, so true. Thank you for taking us through those brief moments of ecstasy. Next time, try to drag them out some more for a longer post.
