Best Winter Email

With as cold as it has been here I thought sharing this email would be fitting. Yesterday for the first time in at least 8 years the school my kids go to had a late start. I apologize to anyone that this may offend. LOL.

That is too funny! And very true.
It got down to 23 last night and is supposed to go into the teens tonight. There's more preparation going on around here than when we have a hurricane coming LOL
