The best thing about finding out the night before about school and work closures (school was closed all day, work didn't open until 10am) is that you can plan to sleep in! And that we did. James didn't wander upstairs until almost 8am and Cora slept another 20-30 minutes longer. I took Buster out to potty and took some photos of the frozen decks and trees, then brought an ice-covered branch back inside for the kids to check out. James said it was too cold to hold though. Vicksburg has a history of really bad winter ice storms, but this is the first we've experienced since moving here almost 7 years ago. We goofed off for a couple hours, then got to work at the kitchen table while the kids watched movies (working on manuscripts this week). I took a run break after lunch, then we decided to skip our Guns, Guts, Glutes class at the YMCA tonight due to terrible road conditions (the Mississippi River Bridge has been closed all day due to a huge accident and we've heard reports of large trees blocking intersections around town). Fine with me - now I can go take a hot bath instead, and hopefully save my leg and glute muscles for this weekend's extremely long run...
