Snow Day

It's another snow day for our kids... I'm not as happy today though. I really in a bad mood. Hopefuly I'll get out of it soon and get over myself and my frustrations. I'm not that fun to be with when I'm crabby. Hope you are having a good day!!

Snow

We have had so much snow this week. We got about a foot on Saturday into Sunday and had a snow day on Monday. I don't think it snowed on Monday but we got a few inches on Tuesday. We had school in our district on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is supposed to snow from 4 to 8 inches tonight. Will we have a snow day tomorrow?? Who knows. A few of our school districts in the Spokane area have been closed since Monday... will they even open their doors this week? I didn't really get to experience school being closed when I was a kid. When we lived in Waitsburg WA the school was closed because the power was out for a few days. I even had to go to school in -50 degree weather in Roundup MT, even though the buses didn't run so there were not very many students in class. I had my first real snow day in college at the University of Sioux Falls. Those days were great. I also had a few when I was teaching in Grass Range MT... but never a whole day (that I recall)... we closed early a few times because the wind and snow combo. I think snow days are really great and a nice surprise. I, as a houseparent, am even okay with them because I don't really drive anywhere when the roads are bad anyway so I'm staying home anyway. I told my friends that if we are getting together this weekend they are going to have to come to my house because I'm not driving! Hope you are doing well :)

Snow Day and Sick Day

I started feeling sick on Thursday evening, there has been something going around. I felt okay in the morning so went out and did some errands. I had plans in the evening to go to dinner and play games with friends but when I got over to Jan's I was feeling awful. She ended up driving me home and the rest of the night in a blurr. I was feeling pretty good in the morning so stuck to my plan to go dress shopping with my friend Irene whom is getting married in a year. She tried on some beautiful dresses. Then it hit me and I began to feel awful again. I decided to take a sick day for Sunday and I just stayed holed up in my room. The snow fell all day long... big flakes and small flakes. There were numerous school cancellations on the news but not our school district. There was a press conference from the emergency personnel urging people to stay home on Monday. The largest school district in the area, Spokane #81 decided to close around 9pm but our district was still listed as open. This morning we found that we had a snow day so I decided to get ready and come to work... here I sit... some of our girls are out sledding with Russell and the rest are just sitting and watching movies. It's going to be an okay day!

It's been a weekend!

So... the weekend started out great.

I set out for Jan's house on Thursday night without a care in the world. We were just going to hang out and relax. We ended up going to Coldstone and I actually tried a different ice cream creation (I usually just get sweet cream with raspberries and this time I tried the Founders Favorite... I should have stuck with my standby). We also did some exploring of the South Hill area of Spokane. It's a neat area and I could probably stand living up there if I didn't have to drive down or up in the winter.

Friday brought some sleeping in time and a call asking if I wanted to join some people from work for a snowboarding trip on Monday. I decided that would be fun to do especially because I was going to be able to take a lesson. I found that my snowpants didn't fit anymore (grr) and I obviously needed some for snowboarding. I set out to find some without much luck. I didn't want to spend a lot on them and cheap ones just were no where to be found. I wanted to look at Cabella's but I never got around to driving to Post Falls. I spent that evening having dinner and playing a game called Settlers of Cattan with Cottage 1. It was fun. I was supposed to go to a late movie but bailed as I was tired.

Saturday was shopping and rearanging day. I moved a futon into my apartment/room and that meant I had to rearange my living room space. It took forever and than I decided I wanted to do something different with my kitchen area. I set out to Target to look at some put together yourself pieces. Did a lot of thinking and decided they would work. I bought 2 drawer thingys and put one together. It was really a frustrating process and I should probably not ever try to build again. I have done it before and done a fine job but really had problems. AND the pieces were not what I was wanting. So it was a huge waste of time, energy, and money. Crap!

Sunday... oh... that's today... I have had a good day. I went to church at a new place, Millwood Community Presbyterian. They are huge supporters of Hutton and I want to try it out. It was nice. I really kind of liked it. I'll probably go back again. Then Pamela and I met Jan for a movie across town, 27 Dresses... it was a good story and I really like Kathrine Higel. It was then time to find snowpants as the trip to Schweitzer was tomorrow. I bought some that I had tried on the other day and they are nice but to expencive. I also went to Target to return that blasted furniture that I didn't put together. I got home and got a phone call... Guess what... the trip is cancelled due to the weather conditions on the Mountain. So... I searched for snowpants for a trip that was cancelled. How sad! I'll have to try again next time I guess!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
