Echoes of the Mind's Eye

I used to love snow days. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of becoming an adult is not being able to take as much pleasure in things that one used to. I do have a Peter Pan complex of sorts, but I do know when I have to be....I hate to say this...responsible. Snow days are one of those times. With my job, I am required to fulfill a certain amount of direct client hours in the community and school. When schools are closed, I am still expected to take my 1995 station wagon out on treacherous roadways to see kids at their homes.

The added problem is...some parents don't want to see me and the kids were anxious to take the day off as well.
