Oh yeah and we're in a blizzard among other things...

So, we're in the middle of a blizzard here. We had a snow day yesterday because the blizzard was supposed to start right after lunch. The morning was absolutely fine, and the blizzard didn't start until late in the evening. But it was a full force blizzard this morning with over 300 schools closed. BUT MY SCHOOL DIDN'T CLOSE!! I couldn't believe it!! The roads were horrible. I dropped off Abby at my parents and my awesome dad volunteered to drive me to work. I absolutely hate driving in the snow and I felt so relieved that he drove me. He even came to pick me up after school. He rocks!!
Schools have to have 75% attendance in order for the day to count as an academic day. The roads were so horrible that we didn't even make 62%. Therefore the day doesn't even count. You can imagine there wasn't one teacher there today in a good mood. Everyone was ready to complain, it was a rough day. We should have stayed home! I had 10 of my 27 students gone. It's hard to teach new concepts or give tests when over a third of the class is gone. The blizzard is supposed to last until 6am tomorrow so we'll see what happens with tomorrow's snow day.

Here's a picture from last Sunday night. We went to my brother's church to watch my niece and nephews perform in their Christmas play. They did so well. Here is Abby and Seth. I just love this picture!
