Snow days: Good for the mind, bad for the body

Being a teacher, we get these glorious days once or twice a year.  These days are called SnowDays.

Elusive as snow days may be, when you get the opportunity to miss work WITHOUT having to be sick, it is a real treat.  You wake up, eat, and sit...a lot.  And I don't know about you, but when I am sitting I watch t.v. or read a book.  When doing these things usually I like to have a snack.  Luckily for me, I don't usually have all day long to sit and read or watch tv so I don't snack through the day.

...unless I have a snow day.  Then I sit and I eat.
and eat.
and eat.

No matter how hard I try to eat a salad and drink some water, the C's win it every time. What are the "C's" you may ask? 
The C's are:
*Cookies
*Cake
*Chips
*Crackers
*Carbonated Beverages

Sure there are some healthy "C's" like carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers BUT see...we kind of don't have any of those in our house at the moment.  It's WINTER.  Those things aren't "in season," right?

I mean, who really wants to watch the newest episode of Pretty Little Liars and munch on  a stack of celery sticks?  That is not prime entertainment to me.

It should be.
But it's not.

So I guess what I am saying is, as happy as I am to get a snow day for my mental health, my physical health is screaming for SPRING and SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Snow Day to my fellow teachers!
(*Only 111 days til Summer Break! Not that I'm counting.)
