Close your eyes and just remember – curled up in just the right position, so comfortable you almost have tingles. Your clock is just rounding 6:00 am and you can hear the murmur of the Winter Stormwatch on the News Channel. Mom and Dad are scanning the school closings scrolling along the bottom of their TV screen.
Your bedroom door creaks open and you squeeze your eyes shut, hoping and wishing that your mom will be the bearer of good news; “Honey – You can stay in bed, it’s a snowday today”.
The excitement rushes through your warm bones and you peek just long enough to see the snow blowing outside and your mom’s smile. You fall back into your dreamy state while vision of sugarplums dance through your head. Or brownies – whatever your preference.
