Grown Up's Snow Day a List of Pro's and Cons.

Yesterday and today Oregon has seen some unseasonably cold weather. Tonight it is currently 7 degrees at my house. I also happen to live on a farm in the middle of nowhere on a very dangerous road even when it's not icy. Now I can't decide if I like snow days or not. Sure as a kid they were just great but as an adult I go back and forth between loving and hating the white stuff. Here is a list of pro's and cons.

PRO
I get more snuggle time with my cats.

CON
I am allergic to my cats.

PRO
My house is warm

CON
My pipes are not.

PRO
I can catch up on my reading.

CON
Nobody pays me to read.

PRO
I get to spend more time with grandpa.

CON
I hear the same snow day stories about 70 times.

PRO 
I'm much safer not going out on the roads.

CON
I run out of everything and just want to go shopping.

PRO?
Without running water I'm honing my survival skills.

CON?
I apparently can't survive without my husband lifting the heavy water jugs.

PRO
I get to stay on the farm all day

CON
I would have to cross a frozen bridge to see my cows. That is assuming I even leave the house when it's this cold.

PRO
No work.

CON
No work.

PRO
It feels very Christmasy and would be the perfect time to put up our Christmas tree that we wisely bought before it froze.

CON
We weren't wise enough to bring the stand in before it froze so we can't put the tree up until the block of ice in it melts which would happen much quicker if we had warm running water.

So there you go just a short list of some pro's and cons from my Grown Up Snow Day. Tomorrow I have a date with my footie pajamas, my book and the fireside!
