The daycare center where my wife works and son attends is closed today due to the weather. She’s probably outside in the snow, with the boy, sledding, building a snowman, and generally having fun in the cold, while I’m warm and dry in the office, “working”. She’s making lemonade with the lemons life dealt her today.

Sounds like she had a blast!  
Update me on her day if you get a chance!

It’s good that they were able to spend time outside.  
I have to stay inside all day with my 11 month old if the weather’s too inclement because of the wet ground.  
Makes for a helluva long day!
