My Blessed Little Life

Yeah for Friday!  After two more snow days this week on Tuesday and Wednesday , our time in school has been very messed up, to say the least!  It is always hard to get back into the groove after a break, and having two snow days last week and two more this week have not helped with getting back on track very much!  It seemed that everyone at school was a little surly and had completely forgotten everything I've taught.  How is that even possible??  I have to say that although my own kids were driving me a little crazy,  going back to my classroom was not appealing at all this morning when that alarm went off at 4:30am. Sleeping in was a really nice treat! I hope that the weather will decide to play nice and spring will move in soon.  The weatherman was saying that there could be more rain and snow next week, so I hope that the chance of snow lessens, or that they were just wrong!  I'm so over winter right now! Tomorrow I start the Slice of Life ...

It's a snow day for all of us here in Kansas City. Meteorologists around the area live for this stuff...and have taken over the airwaves to tell us all it's snowing. Common sense tells us to stay home, where it is safe and warm, yet Scout cams are capturing shot after shot of cars stuck in ditches because someone ventured out. Maybe it is the Iowa girl in me, but I love snow. I'm comfortable driving in it...what scares me is driving around everyone else here who white-nuckles the wheel at the sight of the first flake. Whether you love snow or hate it, most love lazy snow days. For me, it is an extra day to get caught up on laundry and cleaning, and hopefully grading too! Enjoy your day and stay warm!

Word on the street is that KC *might* get some snow in a day or two. That must be true...I'm hoping so because my students were hyped up today. Some of that might be the four day weekend they had, but anyone who has worked with kids or animals understands and has experienced the crazy weather behavior that proceeds/ accompanies the storms. They were already planning their snow day activities and snow is not forecasted until late tomorrow. I wish they spent that much time working on my classwork! Calgon, take me away!
