Well, I had laid the laptop next to my bed last night with the browser showing a list of school closings. That way all I had to do was hit "Refresh" and I could quickly find out if DISD was indeed closed.
I checked it at some point during the night - I think it was 3 AM. No word at that point on Dallas ISD. Woke up at 5 and there it was...even thought it said only that were closed, it fairly shouted, "FREE DAY!" I rolled back over and fell asleep again with a grin on my face.
It's cool because it's so rare. A day without responsibilities - all due to an act of God. A gift-wrapped excuse to relax. I quickly launched into a Saturday mode, where I tend to do nothing before noon. We did get something accomplished: the Christmas tree got put up. Nothing convinces you more than this act that the holidays are coming.
Unfortunately, Carole spent too much time bending at the waist and her lower back is strained.
Also, the garage door wouldn't go down today, but a $69 service call fixed that.
All in all, a wonderful day. Tomorrow, it's back to reality - followed by another free day. Tee-hee!

Good for you. I had to spend 45 minutes trying to figure out if CFB was closed. I saw channel 8 run it once, but they took it off. I couldn't trust it. There was an ignorant lady in our school that didn't get the phone tree, so I was never called. Luckily, the internet helped me out. I feel bad for all of my kids that didn't have internet.
