We had another couple of inches of snow overnight. Josh came in this morning asking if there’d been any communication from the grade school. The high school had been cancelled. He opened my email and skimmed the message. Down at the bottom it said that most of the area schools were open today, but if you wanted to keep your kids home for the day that was fine.

“Well what do you want to do?”, he said. We’d already made our drop-off and pick-up arrangements, he was dropping off and I was picking up. “I mean, that means we’d still have to get them there and get them back”, he said. “I don’t care”, I said, “just let ‘um stay home.” I hadn’t even known it was supposed to snow. Sometimes they cancel school the night before so everyone already knows. One of the boys had recently told me before bed, that the way he feels going to bed when he knows there’s a snowday the next morning, that’s how he used to feel every night.

So we had another snow day here. Besides grocery shopping and cooking supper, I wasn’t productive at all today. Elianna came with me. Later in the day we watched the college indoor track races online. First the one, then the other, and in other news Matt Carpenter is back on the Cardinals after signing a 1-year contract. Once a Cardinal always a Cardinal with players like that.
