I remember my former mother-in-law, in her later years, saying "I don't know where the time goes, but it just does!" So true! Now it is December and cold and beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Am I ready? Noooo....
This week at school was fraught with weather changes. One day, it was raining so hard, horizontal to the ground, that my windows were being hit head-on, and they leak! I had to call for a custodian to help mop up the puddles under the windows. Then it turned cold. With the wind blowing against my southern-facing windows, and no sun, (and the unreachable thermostat in the "univent" set at 65 degrees), I froze. One day, I had to wrap up in an afghan on the couch at home and wait for 20 minutes for my feet to warm up enough to take a nap! Yesterday, the fire alarm rang and sent us out into the cold and snow for 10 minutes. Today, the 7th grade English teacher came in with tool in hand to reset the thermostat. It worked! Within 5 minutes, the room was almost too hot...so another adjustment fixed it. The word comes down from the administration that we MIGHT be moving to the new middle school (old elementary school being remodeled) along about semester break. I don't think so...but we'll see!
Sunday is a home Colts game. The Salvation Army has a toy-and-kettle collection there. My SATERN guys will be working the event again. Wish us luck. It is an outdoor event, but supposed to be 35 degrees with chance of rain or snow. Yuck!
I've made some progress on Christmas decorations. They are now out of the minibarn and onto the patio. Whoop-de-doo!
