Today, due to having had Monday off of school, we had "switch day" today. On switch days, we essentially do our Monday schedule rather than our Wednesday schedule so that those specialists who missed seeing their classes on Monday don't get jipped of days by the end of the year. It's awesome for me because instead of a 30 minute prep time, I have a 45 minute prep time (time to make homework and use the bathroom!!)!! But let me lay it out to you as I did for the kids this morning: "Happy Wednesday that feels like a Tuesday that we're going to act like is a Monday." Needless to say, my brain is a little mushy right now.
Here's something else unbelievable------Monday is the 100th day of school. I think I mentioned to you back in the fall that once Halloween hits, the year flies by. We start saying, "I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already....Is it really time for the holidays?" and now it's 100's day, then it will be Valentines Day, St Patrick's day and spring break, and then viola, it's May! It's just startling how fast it goes by. I start to get a bit stressed because there's just so much to do, but it all works itself out eventually.
Today I gave the kids their health magazine. It is about muscles. I asked them to read it, make note of at least three things that they found interesting, weird, confusing, etc and we'd discuss them over the next few days. Oh my gosh, you could have heard a pin drop in here! It was the most amazing part of the day! Further evidence that we are getting further into the school year and my little cherubs are becoming incredibly intelligent and happily independent. It was a good moment for me!!
It started to snow nicely earlier this afternoon, but I guess it has now stopped. I'm kind of bummed. I like it when there's a nice solid layer of white to cover the dead grass that I look out on every day. Maybe I should shut my pie hole because I think that this is right around the time we had a big blizzard a couple of years ago (but we also had 2 snow days that year!! You wanna talk about a happy dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and while that was fun, I'm kind of enjoying every day that goes by that I don't have to lug out the snow blower or pay the plow guy. See what happens when my brain gets mushy--I ramble on and become quite indecisive. I'll sign off for tonight and end your torture.
Have a good night!!
