I LOVE productive snow days!!!

Ya know, I love snow days...Lots of people complain that it's another day added on at the end of the school year, but I truly don't mind! I teach all summer anyways...So as long as it doesn't take away from my Summer school pay then I'm all set. I had a list of things that I wanted to accomplish today...the list had been growing since this weekend when I heard the amount of snow we would be getting...I think I've fulfilled the whole list...

I started my day off with some pop tarts and a glass of orange juice all while watching Good Morning America. Boy I wish I could have one of these days every week... I threw a load of laundry in (1 of 6 that were finished by the end of the afternoon) and pulled out my SECRET PROJECT that nobody knows about! I thought this would take about an hour...well little did I know it has taken me about 10 hours total from beginning to end. I worked on this SECRET PROJECT from 9 til about 1:30..but the mission is accomplished and it came out better than I thought it would. I will even post pictures of this SECRET by the end of the weekend for all to see!! Then it won't be a SECRET anymore! By the way, I can't believe I've kept a secret...I'm horrible at keeping exciting things in!!!

I called travelocity ready to put up a huge stink because they changed our flight times by 3 hours...but the guy was very accomodating and got me a better flight not only to head to Florida but a better return flight too (I wasn't even asking for a change in return)! I got off the phone pretty happy with him and continued to complete my list...

I made some brownie cookies (don't ask..it was one of those mixes you get at Christmas time) and a coffee crumb cake--both of which are not for me to eat, but of course I did manage to lick the whisk...I am bringing them to school for a bake sale that is happening this weekend for a co-worker of mine. Her brother has been in the hospital for a month and they are doing a benefit this weekend...

Lon came to plow so I went out and cleaned my car and the steps off while getting pelted by sleet...That wasn't fun, but of course it had to get done...I may even drive down to Dover to clean Josh's truck off sometime before he comes home on Monday...I've got plenty of time to think about that one though...

I then decided it was time to Wii again for the first time since Sunday. I have been pretty regularly working on my Wii Fit since I have not been attending the gym. Sunday I accidently hit the plus button when I got ready to do my 10 jackknifes and I was programmed in for 30...I skipped right over the 20 somehow...and of course once it started I didn't want to get yelled at by the trainer or get a bad score so I did all 30...boy was I paying for it on Monday and Tuesday.. Since I was feeling back to normal I decided it was time to Wii again tonight...and I carefully chose to increase my jackknifes to 20...Hope I'm feeling OK tomorrow!!!

Now, It's time to go bring the 6 loads of laundry upstairs (nope not putting it away...) watch American Idol and get a great nights rest to welcome my wonderful cherubs into the classroom...Maybe this snow day will a. have gotten them outside to play for the first time in 3 days and b. taught them to come in and listen-- instead of talking...We'll see how that goes...

Good Night...

Okay you are a big dork. Oh yea, and you're not very good at keeping secrets, lol. (Not that I'm complaining!) Anyway, have fun with those 6 loads of laundry to put away. Now stop writing things for me to read so I can finally finish my report cards! (I know, I am REALLY good at procrastinating, haha.)
