Snow Spasm

This week, I sprung from bed expecting the weatherman to be right. Forecast: SNOW! As far as I care, it can be cold all it wants as long as there's snow. Sadly, I woke to a dampened world of unsnowed cold. I had been hoping thoroughly for snow, but was only met with increased disappointment with the local weather people. THEY said snow; therefore, I expected snow. The weather had merely iced my vehicle forcing me to work before working.

I moped through my morning route sparing the occasional smiley facade to the boarding children. Fortunately, they shuffled by quickly.They were mostly concerned with getting to their seats where they could siphon warmth from the heaters.

After my route, I headed home to refill on warmth. The cold had nearly taken it all since I lacked cheer to warm me. Once home, I was berated by our 2 dogs for not being around to love them. I attempted to get some chores done, but was frequently interrupted by cold noses. So I let them outside to chill. Twenty minutes free of scolding and drool later, I open the back door.

SNOW!! The dogs skittered past me seeking heat as I gawked at the large flakes of snow.

There's something about big fluffy flakes of frozen water that brings out the jolly in me. All I needed was a cupcake to have the best full-on toddler glee spasm ever! You know the flailing, jumping, screaming fit of pure excitement and joy a 5-year-old has over just about anything i.e. "I just got a puppy!*flail*" or " I'm wearing my favorite color ever! *flail*"

I hopped up and down, chirping "Snow!" at the top of my lungs. I turn to tell my dogs this, but they were covered in snow so I'm sure they knew.

After being toweled off, the dogs hid in the back room while I continued to dance about the house singing songs from White Christmas (although by then Christmas was long gone). I opened the front door so I could bask in snowy glory.

It had stopped. I think the dogs did it.

P.S. I had doodles, but my scanner has decided to rebel against the machine.
UPDATE: Scanner still hateful, but I was able to take a picture of one of the doodles. Enjoy!
