What we woke up to 1-20-09




Last Monday was one of the RARE occassions that I was off work. Thank you MLK jr. for all you did, and for giving teachers a break for at least a day! Anywho, as I lay sprawled out all over the bed as Troy got ready for school (sorry!) I heard a mention of "snow" on the TV in the background. Being half alert and aware that winter weather just isnt in the forcast for the flatlands, I feel back to sleep. When I finally woke up at, oh 9:00am!!, the single thought of any kind of winter mix was far from my mind. That was until I talked to Mom who told me to check our weather! I immediately had flashbacks to when I was in highschool literally praying for snow days. Could this be true? Would Raleigh, NC be getting snow? I was so excited for the chance of even a dusting in our area, or better yet, a 2 hour delay on Tuesday! (I really do love my job!) I spent my entire day off excited and jumping around like a little girl telling Troy to get home early before the storm came through..Harnett County Schools had already called and canceled school..and about 4:00am Tuesday morning I awoke to see a winter wonderland outside our window. SNOW DAY! Although I knew I had the day off, Campbell Law still had not decided. What they were waiting on I do not know, but it did take them until 10am, after a round of classes, to cancel school. Apparently 6in of snow was no factor for future lawyers! Needless to say, we spent the next 2 days burrowed inside staying warm with the pups taking the ocassional road trip out to see the snow. I mean, hello, we are from the mountains..snow was nothin' new to us! Although, after our trip to McDonald's we quickly decided that even we shouldnt be on the roads...people down here don't know what 4x4 is, or how to use it!
