2 hours is better than nothing

Well I was really hoping for a snow day this year and today looked as though it would be the best chance but this morning the alarm goes and nothing - no schools closed. Then we get an email about 8:00 saying the schools will close 2 hours early. I guess that is better than nothing. At least I don't have to deal with 5th or 6th period today. But the kids are crazy. And of course they knew about getting out early before we did because all their dumb parents text message them to tell them. Seriously, why do you do this? It is Friday with a possibility of snow and you text your kid to excite them even more knowing we have to spend 4 more hours with them. Use some sense! But hopefully it will actually snow the 1-3 inches they are predicting and I can have some snow pictures to share tomorrow.
