1 Day...

Huge snowstorm hit Boston yesterday...oh wait, no it didn't! School dismissed at 11 because we wanted everyone to make it home safely. Turns out they could have dismissed at 6, and we still would have made it home safely. No delay this morning, which was sad, but one bus was late, cutting 20 minutes out of my first period class. One day stands between me and winter vacation and I want it now!

The upcoming week is going to be very busy. Saturday J and I leave to visit my family in CT. We are stopping at the mall to meet up with my MOH (so excited, haven't seen her since...June?) and then going to spend the weekend at my aunt's house (they have a guest room). Valentine's Day we are going out to eat, which will be nice. Our Valentine present is sitting in the parking lot- so what if we got it a few weeks early? Monday we leave CT and travel to OH. Tuesday (as long as everything goes as planned) we have our final walkthrough and close on the house. I am very excited. I feel like it is home already, and I can't wait to blow up an air mattress and sleep in my very own house! The realtor took down the listing from their website, so the pictures that I had are gone. I have to take more, don't worry, I've charged my camera and I am ready! Hopefully we will get to see Peyton at some point while we are in Ohio too.

I have my students for the last two periods today. We are doing a web scavenger hunt and then reading Lord of The Flies...who remembers that book from Ms. S-V's class?? I still tend to lead toward favoring Ralph as a leader, but I try to have an open mind when presenting it to my students. Hopefully the kids do well today, someone is coming to observe (not me, the class) and I just want them to raise their hands!
