Work or Snow Day?

Some days, it's really hard to be a responsible adult. Have you ever noticed that?

We have maybe 3 or 4 inches of new snow on the ground and most of it swirling around in the air. The high temp. is supposed 17 dropping to a toasty 5. The city streets are covered in snow and it is just generally nasty outside. Today is one of my 3 work days. I don't wanna go!

Now I'm in the midst of an internal struggle. The responsible working girl in me says get your fanny dressed and get to work like an adult. The mom and inner child says it's a snow day and it's cold outside so let's stay in and drink hot chocolate and play games.

This is the slow season in our office so I don't have a ton of things waiting for me, but I still feel obligated. My boss makes it worse but leaving it up to me. He called the agents and told them to stay home. My husband tells me to stay home, as he's speaking to me from his office 42 miles away. Apparently it's OK for him to risk life and limb to drive to work in a near blizzard but not for me to go 4 miles.

Right this minute, I've compromised and I'm working from home. I'm feeling more and more like staying home is the best choice for today. It's really hard to maintain the balance.
