Just for the record:
I am done with winter. Over. Fini. Do you hear me? DONE! I have had it up to my eyebrows with overnight snows, ice, slush, dirty slop, freezing rain, sleet, wind, cold, wet, and anything else related to winter. I am SICK of tempting springlike weather one day, then ten days of single-digit temperatures thereafter. I'm TIRED of no sunshine for days on end. I am WEARY of feet that get cold walking from car to building...unable to get warm again until I go to bed at night. I have had it! IS ANYBODY LISTENING??? SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!
My school district was on a 2-hour delay today, due to yet another overnight snow/sleet mix. Although we didn't get much more than an inch or two all day both in Plainfield and Monrovia where I work, it kept up all day in one form or another. The roads were semi-crappy on the way to school, and even crappier on the way home. With the delay for my district, Meg could head for work while I held down the fort to get the kids ready to go to day care. All went well...except that I got the children dressed before breakfast. BIG mistake! Robin spilled her bowl of cereal on her clothes, so we had to do a pants exchange before we could head out. Ugh!
This evening, Meg decided not to go to Muncie with the kids. It was a good decision. The roads were dicey, and she was tired. Instead, we went to Burger King for supper (at the children's request), then home to watch movies. (There were two other clothing exchanges in there, btw, due to "accidents". And so it goes...) Guess they'll go tomorrow, if the highways improve.
A few of my students were looking at my 1965 Senior yearbook today. One told me that I was pretty back then. Uh....thanks, I guess!
