On the Lookout

Hey, A.

Winter is finally coming around to these parts (we had a delay yesterday), but it seems like we keep alternating between arctic blast and mild weather, with not a lot of precipitation in between. That’s okay, though. I’m kind of over wishing for snow days as I have moved onto making them myself. That is, gone are the days of playing martyr and suffering through a day with a migraine. Why bother? No one gives you a gold star and, moreover, I have 120 unused snow days in the bank. And if I leave them there when I retire they will pay me $30 per day—for up to 100 of them. Anyway.

Glad it’s already Wednesday…I’m taking the kids (well, M’s kids) out to dinner tonight. Tomorrow I have a big meeting after school, and then it’ll be Friday. Woo hoo. Big game (Go, Pats!) this weekend and nothing else planned. Next week we start midterms and you know what that means. I feel like I’m wishing my life away here, but this has been one of my worst school years yet, so yeah, we can move right along without looking back. As long as I get some stories along the way. ;-)

Hope you’re week is going well and that you’re surviving Winter Storm 2012!

Love,
Barb

PS I know I am queen of Honor Thyself, but I also feel like there was a little honoring of D that I didn’t do…and I felt bad. But I’m better now. P didn’t finish and there will be other opportunities for me to help.
