"Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery." Bill Watterson

Dear Weatherman,
I used to work with you once upon time before teacherdom. I know that you have no control over the weather, but I was really banking on you this ONE time. My 3rd graders are about to go NUTS because they have not had a snow day. With the promise of snow coming, they were really banking on today being a snow day. But alas, we are going to school today. Don't get me wrong, I am totally okay with going. Who wants to go to school on make-up days. But weatherman, I needed this snow day to keep my sanity. Today might be the longest day ever. I will send you my therapist bill when that time comes in my life because of this day.

Wishing I were snowed-in,
Mrs. S.



So...if you are a teacher you know that kids go CrAzY for a snow day. That is what I have been dealing with all winter. We have yet to have one snow day (yay! if you are a teacher you understand why that is great) and they are not in a good mood about it. This moring they are going to, first, be jumping around about the snow that did fall to the ground; second, grumbling because we are in school. But on the bright side, it is our 100th day! Tomorrow is PJ day...so I am WAY more excited about that. Oh, the joys of being a teacher.

Truman went to obedience class last night and got a little one-on-one with the instructor afterwards, according to Mr. S. Looks like it might have helped. Between that and the new collar/leash combo we were told we should get, things are much better. I take him to class Thursday, so we will see how well I can handle the beast. Or as I call him, the yellow bus.

Oh, Happy Chinese New Year! It is the Year of the Ox!

I love snow days! I hated the makeup days though. I'm not is school anymore and I am hoping for a snow day. Just so I don't have to drive 45 minutes to work. Are you busy this weekend?

I would love a snow day, or any reason to skip a day of work. I would combine it with my own PJ day and lay around all day.
