Early morning phone calls

Hannah's school district has a new program this year where you can sign up to receive a phone call notification from the school in case of a school closing. The first time we received a call it was pretty neat. It was a Thursday evening and they called to say that on Friday the schools would operate on a half day schedule and that school would close early in anticipation of the coming storm.

The second time the call came at 4:50 a.m. and scared the living daylights out of me. Calls at 4:50 a.m. are not usually good ones.

The third time was this morning at 5:00 a.m. The call came saying that school would open 2 hours late. This time I knew exactly who was calling and I rolled over and picked up the phone without even saying hello. I listened to the message and then curled up with the phone to go back to sleep (I was too tired to put the phone back in the cradle).

Me (mumbling/half asleep): School is delayed 2 hours.
