Snow Day


A snowy day in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Supermarkets were mobbed, bread disappearing, fights over milk.
While I snuck away with a bottle of wine and some toilet paper.
Here we freak out at the possibility of the threat of maybe some snow.
People fighting to get home AHEAD of the storm.
Children turning pajamas inside out hoping for this beautiful
SNOW DAY!

How do they spend their time?
Arguing with each other
Wrestling
Until someone finally gets hurt, and it's usually by me.
All the sweet little girls sit and watch princess movies with hot cocoa and popcorn.
I'm down to picking up dog poop, then screaming like a witch
because I've heard STOP for 1 millionth time.

And now you know why I was fighting the crowd at the supermarket for that bottle of wine.

  1. Sorry about the princess movie and popcorn! By tonight they were actually wrestling each other! That's what happens when the snow is gone before it even got here!
