Today is just a bleary day. We actually had some snow in Middle Tennessee for the first time in a year. It was a pleasant site, however it was not too pleasant for the commute.
I can remember when I was a child in school and whenever there was even the most remote possibility of snow I would get excited. So excited that I would wake up early in the morning just to watch the school closings report. When we found out that we got to stay home we would actually celebrate. There wasn't much to do really. It just seemed like a big deal. We would make hot chocolate, wrap our shoes up in plastic bags and then go out and play. Making snow angels, playing "war" with snow balls, and writing our names in the snow behind the garage were always the highlights.
Today, unlike those days, is just a regular day. Full of work and responsibilites. Sometimes, though when it snows, my stomach gets tiny butterflies and I remember the anticipation of a whole day with no responsibilites or cares.
