Another snow day at home

Based on the weather forecast, I was pretty sure today wasn't going to be any school today.  We were expected to get 1-3" of snow (they suspected the higher end was more probable) and it was going to begin around 1:00 and last through the morning commute.  About 6:00 last night we went on a 90 minute delay, which did at least allow us to set the alarms for a little later, but I expected to be home for the day.  Even with the delay, Robert would have to be on the bus at 7:00 and the other buses would be out on the roads shortly after 7:30.  Since it didn't sound as though the roads would clear up until mid-morning I was pretty sure it meant a day off.

I was right!  Shortly after 6:00 the text (and then subsequent phone calls) came that we were going to be home for the day!  Although I was scheduled to work and it meant losing that money, I'm not sure I could've made it through the day anyway.  I went to bed last night not feeling well, and fighting the beginning of a migraine.  All night I could feel that the migraine hadn't gone away, and strangely enough I was in significantly more pain when sleeping on my right side instead of my left.  Because I tend to be a sleeper that turns a lot during the night, the fact that I couldn't sleep on my right side was complicating my sleep.  I hadn't slept well at all, so I was grateful to be able to sleep later.  And the migraine went away after medicating when the phone calls came in, so I was especially grateful!

Everyone should be in school tomorrow and Friday, and I don't see any more snow days on the horizon.  I can't complain though.  Today was our 4th one of the year and that is twice as many as we had the last two years combined!
