Well, I am loving the snow. The last snow that amounted to this deep of a pile was when I first moved up here and my first year teaching. Katie and i were stranded with no cable and no phone. We had a blast sledding, though. And playing games and reading. This time, Katie isn’t home and Scott and i are stranded, with plenty of iPhones, and Fios to make us electronically happy. I would like to play a board game – but it is doubtful that we will.

Holidays offer too much pressure. Are your decorations up? Cards mailed? Cookies baked? oMG! I have not done any of those things and I may not do them at all. And, that is fine with me. I will clean the house, and maybe make cookies, and i have filled out some cards, but all of those things are because I want to, not have to. No guilt.

School is sucking this year. The kids are ok, but the coworkers are awful. Back stabbing bitches. Greed, jealousy, and general malaise have crept into the building lowering morale into the basement. I am considering leaving teaching for something else soon. Very soon. But, i want something with summers and snow days. Hmmmm.
