Snow days are good for all

It was 5:45 am, the phone was ringing, no one was there. It was 5:55 am, the phone was ringing, no one was there. At 6:00 am when the phone rang again I thought "so much for modern technology". I guess our call out system was malfunctioning. Rather than try to get back to sleep I thought I would use the time for something special. A nice cup of tea and three hours of Jack Bauer. I am finally caught up...with my two shows and my school work. The price I paid? My son was at his dad's house last night. He stayed there and went to the movies with the dad's girlfriend. My son should have been home with me. I should have been the one to take him to the movies. I could have studied, watched Jack in the early hours and still had time to go to the movies. Being divorced is not fun when you have kids.

What did I do with my extra time? I started investigating getting a dog. I am looking at a Labradoodle. At first it was for my son. Now I know it's for me. It would be nice to have a dog around when I am alone. Although walking a dog on a snowday is not very appealing. My son should be home any minute and I have the whole evening to spend with him and it's only just after 4:00.
