SNOW DAY and Mom's 25 Things

First of all... MIRACULOUS SNOW DAY!! I can't even believe it! The best part about working on campus is that everything the school does, the work does! I WANT TO GO SLEDDING AND DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE! When I was younger, I tried to calculate the perfect movie to watch during a snow day... but I never got it... although I remember considering Ferris Bueller's Day Off... except that movie doesn't exactly promote sleeping in,  casual sledding, and hot chocolate... and it made me feel guilty for not getting into more trouble. It's too bad the movie Snow Day was such shit... otherwise it would have been the frontrunner just for the title. 

Also, my mom wrote her 25 things on facebook and I thought it was really nice, so I'll put it up. Also, I didn't know a lot of it... like the chicken coup thing, for instance. 

1. My kids mean the world to me (Blythe,20;Meredith,14;Matthew,10)

2. If I could, I would move to a remote Greek Isle with my kids and never come back.
3. I love the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks.
4. I wish the world had more love and less hate in it.
5. The Phillies rock, especially Chase Utley's butt, which is made of rock!
