Snow day #5

Well today was my fifth snow day. I can't believe it! After yesterday's snow storm, I guess I can believe it. As much as I enjoy snow days, I am getting a little sick of them. The first couple snow days are always welcomed, but after that it just makes you more and more behind in the classroom. My students haven't had a full week of school since our first full week back from Christmas vacation. With younger students it is hard to get them back in the swing of things with routines and procedures. Oh well, I guess it was another day to relax and try to get caught up. Next week will be a crazy week with 100's Day and Valentine's Day! Oh the joys of teaching! There is always something to celebrate.


Nate didn't have a snow day, just a two hour delay, but it's conference week for him. He has had the flu all week and missed a couple of days of conferences, but will attempt them tonight. We both usually get sick after conferences because we go and go getting ready for them, have our conferences and then are run down from the whole week of longer hours... we just crash. This happened before his busy week. He's feeling somewhat better, but should lay low the whole weekend.

Please send some prayers our way for our health and energy to be restored. It seems that we're both running on empty. The weather doesn't help any! We both can't wait until spring and some sunny weather to come our way!
