Growing up!

A couple of weeks back we had a blizzard followed by a ice storm followed by a snow storm. No, I dont know what the difference is just that its a whole lot of snow.
I woke up early just to check the closure announcements and yeah the offices were closed just like the schools. :D.I did my happy holiday dance with whoops which is more like lifting both my feet at once and having a bad fall but more about that later. And then immediately woke up people in different time zones to check if I get paid for that day.
I was happy and not only because I had a unplanned holiday. I really enjoy doing what I do now and work days are fun. What I was tickled about was that I was having a paid vacation. The funny thing is as I child I was just happy to get a day off and yeah I did like going to school...everybody thought I was smart.. even the kids!. But now it takes a wee bit more to enjoy that holiday
Just when do we move on from thinking a fun vacation is lying on our backs with snotty nosed cousins playing imaginary battles with marching clouds to matching up the entertainment factor vs money spent? Well the price you pay for growing up:(
