Sure enough, the school called at an ungodly hour (5:20 a.m.) to tell us that school had been cancelled. I had brought the phone into the bedroom so that I could answer it without leaving the room. It still woke me up so badly that I never got back to sleep. If it hadn’t, my hubby’s phone ringing a couple of minutes later in a nearby room would have done the trick. Once again, instead of getting to sleep in, I got robbed of a couple of hours of much needed sleep. It’s going to be a very long day.
So, my hubby and I have agreed to a new plan. The next time a storm approaches on a school night, we’re going to turn off the ringers of all the phones so that they won’t wake us up. We’re going to get up at the usual time and check our messages. If there’s a delay or a cancellation, we’re going to quietly enjoy a little extra stress-free morning time. We would rather miss an opportunity for sleeping in than lose our normal share of sleep!
Sounds like a great plan!
