Well I knew we would not be so lucky as to make it through the winter without a snow day. As a kid, I loved Snow days, but as a teacher- I don't. This means in June when the sun is shining and everyone else is on vacation at the Jersey shore, I am in a classroom with whiny kids (and chances are I am whining, too) :)
Today was our first snow day, extending our school year further into June. SOMETIMES I am happy for a snow day if I have to write a paper or I am exhausted but I just had a three day weekend. Not only that, but I left my parents house last night to come back to my lonely apartment-aka tiny crap hole with noisy traffic and plows- and I could have stayed an extra day. My mom is away in Massachusetts with Julie and since dad has to work, the poor dog is alone all day. Probably peeing in my bedroom.
Tomorrow I have a conference to go to all day so I won't be in school either. This meant that even on my snow day, I had to clean off the slush ice on my car and head to the school for about 90 minutes to leave substitute plans. I REALLY wanted to just write "Let them have a study hall." But, I felt guilty and lazy so I left them work to do.
So- what did I do on my day off? Nothing now that I think about it- besides eat Peanut Butter Cap'n crunch in bed at noon in my PJs and then head to school to work. Tonight, I think I will get movin and head to the gym for cardio and strength class. I will also have a cup of hot cocoa and do some work for my grad. class. I started a new class and so far it seems interesting but pretty demanding. I have a paper due on Valentine's Day. Speaking of which, February is coming up and I love the month of February: hearts, birthday, sweets, VDay, and celebrating 4 and a half years with my sweet boyfriend. Also, February has the 3 day President's day weekend, the superbowl, and it is short and sweet. Plus, it technically means the end of this winter slushy mushy icy cold snow day crap. :) It could be worse- my roof could be leaking into my bedroom like Corey's is now.
Stay warm everyone!!!!

Be thankful for snow days. I live in Idaho, people here pride themselves on not having to take snow days. It stinks.
Bummer about corey's house, that is rough.
also, thanks for putting a positive spin on febrary, usually I hate it. That helped:)
