Winter Wonder Land

For the past week the snow has been getting to me. I am the only one digging up the snow, ice and sleet. The cars were buried in it and my back was killing me by the end of the hour. I paused to eat breakfast and expected one of the kids to wake up in the early morning but neither of them did.

With the extra free time I had just the usual some cereal and milk. It is odd to be up at this hour in the dark with no one awake. I hardly have time alone and when I do its dedicated to my writing. I hear the wind blowing outside hustling the snowflakes in the sky. 

I look outside and a pleasant calmness fills me. Today will be a great day I know it. No one has to work or go to school with the announcement they called earlier yesterday. It is just more time to spend with the family and perhaps even play in the snow.

I have so far completed several pages of writing, it comes slowly but surely.
