Is it wrong for me to pray for a school day?

My kids are almost sick of snow days.  Can you believe that??  At the beginning of the season, they were putting their frozen spoons under their pillows, sleeping with their PJ's on inside out, and leaving their winter boots by their bedrooms windows.


Apparently all of those things magically bring a snow day. 

 I
When I was a little kid, we had to wake up and listen to the radio to listen for our school's name to be called.  Cod forbid you stepped away from the radio for a second to comb your hair and you missed the C's.  You'd have to sit through the whole alphabet again to figure out if you got the day off from school or not.  Ah, the good old days.  Now kids just get a text from the school, or the phone call at 6:30 am from the automated thing that warns us of a delay or closing.  Where's the fun and anticipation in that?




Our school district has just used up all of their snow days.



Which means they tack on additional days at the end of the school year to make up for the missed days.  Which is kind of sucky because at the end of the school year, my kids are done.  They need a break.



But anyway, Cod DARN it this is a lot of snow!  And I just want the routine back!  We have kids up until all hours, we have kids trying to do sleepovers on a school night, we have kids just plain out of sorts.  Brooke has been cranky, Megan has been tired, Alex has been annoying.


When they are out of sorts, I am out of sorts.

Please, oh please, pretty please with a grape on top, let there be a school day tomorrow...
