Ins and Outs of my Life

The Holiday and the party is over!

O.K., so I last wrote about feeling like a kid again as I played in the snow. I felt like a kid again this morning and last night.
I am a teacher and the day we were due back was Thursday but we got snowed in. SO then comes Thursday night. THe weather forecaster saids that the roads will be icy Friday and there is a warning out to be careful. Well this is usually the reason to close schools around here. I watched impatiently as school after school closing went across the T.V. screen. I looked at the phone willing it to ring and be the school telling teachers not to report..
O.K. so it gets late and I go to bed thinking they will make a early morning decision. I wake up at 6. No news. I feel like a kid. " Do I have to go?" After all it is Friday and we have been out for over two weeks. What can fI start on a Friday? No new lessons can really start until Monday. My son and I drag ourselves to school. Over 75% or more students weren't there. Just about all the other schools in the area were closed. We are a private school. Only one other county opened. I did have a good day and enjoyed seeing my kids again. I only had 11 there today. I usually have 17. WE just talked and wrote about our holiday and snow adventures .
THen I reviewed spelling and a few other things with them and boy how the day flew.
I was sad as I watched the snow melt and really
felt like a kid when I drove up in my yard and saw almost all of it was melted. Our snowman is still standing. I remember about 25 years ago driving up in my childhood home and seeing a snowman in that yard and feeling that same feeling I felt today.. I had forgot that memory until today.
I guess you can tell I am very sentimental. I remember (or at least try to) a ot from my past. IT makes me enjoy my present even more to relive things such as snowball fights. I am so glad I had a great childhood.
