In most cases they called to gloat about it.  <lj user=neveroniac>, I&#8217;m looking at you.  I was only about a mile from his house and I didn&#8217;t see any.  I didn&#8217;t see any until just at bedtime, when I looked out the window once more and whaddya know, it was snowing!  I went to bed happy.<\/p>\n<p>The phone rang this morning just before 6 with an automated message saying that there was no school.  That was quite a surprise!  However, I was prepared.  Last night after knitting guild I thought, &#8220;You know, I don&#8217;t have any rainy day activities for Em at the moment.  I really should grab an activity book or two.&#8221;  I try to have stuff on hand in case she&#8217;s sick or needs a little lift.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/\" target=\"blank\">Books-A-Million<\/a> was on my way home, so I stopped by and grabbed a Klutz book I thought she&#8217;d like.  She&#8217;s currently squirting giant globs of glue onto mermaid&#8217;s tails and pasting on sequins.  When even Em says,<i> &#8220;I think I put too much glue there,&#8221;<\/i> you know there&#8217;s a lot of glue.  Good fun!<\/p>\n<p>I also had the foresight to pick up a mocha and stash it in the fridge, just in case.  We&#8217;re well-prepared for this snow day.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to bed last night with everyone around me having seen snow.
