Ready to go Back to the Routine!

Well I'm in the evening of our 5th school day off from the ice storm. We were off Tuesday-Friday of last week and now here on Monday. We are being told we are going back tomorrow, but on the other hand the meteorologists are telling us that there is a chance of snow. We will hope and pray that snow stays away. We aren't even completely rid of what we had. Like I said previously I was all about the snow last Tuesday but not ICE and 5 days out of school.

Oh well, things happen and it will be nice to finally be back to the routine. Yes, we'll all be ready for a day off again soon, but we need to get back in school and get the routine and consistency going again for ourselves as well as the students.

I was productive today. I got my taxes done on Turbo Tax online and that turned out nicely with good little refund coming.

As we return to work, I hope to have some more exciting things to add to the blog. After being home for so long, I'm running out of things to write about.

Hope your Monday evening is great!

I've Rejoined Society..mostly...

Hello everyone! What a winter weather mess we have had here in Kentucky. We got hit hard here in Bullitt County and all parts throughout! My family in Grayson County is still in the dark with no phone service.

I lived without power from sometime in the middle of the night Tuesday until about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. Needless to say I was getting quite cold! I think that's the longest stretch I've ever had to go without power. God bless everyone who is still without. After the electricity was back on, my Internet was down all day today and I still have no cable. But at least I have HEAT!! I got caught up on my house cleaning and laundry today without the TV and internet to distract me.

Keep all the families in your prayers that are here in the Louisville area as well as the Leitchfield and Grayson County area and all over Kentucky who are still waiting for their electric to be restored.

On Monday night all of my work friends and I were waiting eagerly for ONE snow day or maybe even 2, but not 4!! Hopefully this icy mess gets cleaned up soon and temperatures will be on the rise. The picture below is the view outside of the window of my condo on Wednesay.

I'm ready for spring!

Time for Some Snow

Are you ready for this? Well the forecast has talked about it for a few days now. A winter storm warning is supposed to be going into effect for this area around 10 p.m. tonight. The hype has commenced and I am now "officially" hyped up for at least one and maybe 2 days off from work.

I'm not normally one for a lot of snow days so that we don't have to make a lot up at the end, but I'm ready for these days off. January sure does turn into a long month. So, if that snow doesn't come I know a lot of teachers, including this one, who will be very disappointed!! Probably even more disappointed than the students. We've got the day off mindset and the snow better start falling.

Have a good week, and thanks for joining in my snow prayer!

Cold Weather and Other Thoughts

I'm sure you are well aware of the cold weather snap we have had here in Kentucky. It was actually 1 below 0 this morning when I left for work at 7:20 a.m.! My thoughts were that I don't even have enough layers to put on without having to roll out the door in the bulky winter coat! So I proudly put on a long sleeve t-shirt with an oversize pull over sweater over, a pair of thick socks and warm pants and I was good to go. I then wrapped my scarf tightly around my neck and zipped up the bulky brown coat and was out the door to let the car warm up. I just can't imagine how people who live up north deal with those temperatures that way or below on a daily basis!! God bless their hearts. I'm ready for spring!!


What a miracle that happened yesterday with plane that had to land in the Hudson River. Even though I hate to hear of accidents such as this, it is nice to hear the stories of the passenger assisting each other and, for the most part, keeping calm through it all. They were definitely protected! Thank God they are okay!


It's a 3 day weekend and I am ready for the rest! Did I mention I'm ready for spring?


Have a great evening,
Susan
