The Weather Outside is Cold

Today I am home from school because of extreme cold. That's right, Metro Nashville cancelled school today due to predicted temperatures of 0-2 degrees in the early morning. At first it seemed silly (and it still does to some degree), but I am also glad that the kiddos I see at school did not have to wait in 0 degree weather this morning. Honestly, I didn't even know what to wear myself. Do I have clothes to wear in 0 degree weather? I don't really have a true winter coat. I know that I could layer, but I still feel unsure how much is enough to stay warm. Thankfully I am not going out much today, so I don't have to worry too much. All this to say, that I can only imagine what some of my children from very low income families might have looked like this morning. I can tell you that a big winter coat is not on my list of needed clothing and I am sure it is not on their list. Overall, I am just celebrating a 4 day weekend (MLK day is Monday)! Hopefully that will free some time to paint some windows.
