Some times we make bad decisions. We've all done it. Today was one of those days. It wasn't even me! Why we had school today, no-one really understands. Even with the Honeywell apology and maybe a different decision should have been made speech...it doesn't change that our kids and staff had to endure less than ideal travel conditions today because of one person's decision.
At 5:30 am, there wasn't a lot of snow on the ground. The weather forecast still called for several more inches to come throughout the morning. By 6:45, I didn't even make it to the day care. I turned around and made frantic calls for people to please watch my kids do I could be at work on time.
School began with sparse hallways. Slowly students trickled in as buses and bus drivers navigated their way through our back country roads, only to be told that bus students works be dismissed early in hopes to get them back home on schedule.
I walked out after school to find about four inches of snow on my car. Amazingly, the roads were just wet. My feet, also wet. Trudging through four-to-six inches of snow and swooping piles of it from the car can do that to a person. And now, to enjoy the warmth of home and a good book, and prepare for whatever tomorrow brings.
