Sweet Life in the City

I guess I cannot use the excuse that I do not have internet to neglect my blog, so I will try to do better at blogging.  We were home again on Tuesday because of the bad weather. Our class missed our field trip but will be making it up sometime in January. My students were so disappointed. They (weather people) were calling for a chance of freezing rain on Wednesday but we had school. Sam's field trip was cancelled but they had their pajama day instead. It was also pajama day for my class and so it was a crazy day back to school. We dismiss an hour early just in case the bad weather hit but it turned out to be just rain. We had a half a day on Thursday but it was Christmas party day so the morning felt like it would never end! I love my kids but the truth is they can get pretty crazy. They are sweet kids and they try to follow the rules but my 9 boys have big personalities and no volume control. They do not do well when our day in not structured. Anyway, I survived the party and th...

    Well it happened, we have a Snow Day. It has not been entirely bad. I slept in until 8:30 and have been just being lazy since I woke up. I cannot remember the last time I just did nothing. My doctor's office called this morning to say that they were closed so I will have to reschedule (again) to see the doctor. We have our small group on Monday nights and that has been cancelled too, so we are free to do nothing all day long :) That would be nice but I know myself too well to know that I will not be able to just sit around all day. The kids and I went outside for a little while yesterday to play and I got a few pictures. I am hoping they do not ask to go outside today because it is way too cold! I am hoping the snow will melt off and we will be back at school tomorrow. Sam is having a pajama day and watching "The Polar Express". He already has his pj's laid out and he will be so sad if we are home again tomorrow. I would also hate for my class to miss their field ...

  We are having our first snowfall here in TN. It is not much but it is beautiful! I know this sounds weird from a teacher, but I am hoping NOT to have a snow day tomorrow. I know, I know why would I say that! We only have three and a half days this week before Christmas Break and I have so much I need to get done at school. Tomorrow is the only real day I have this week. Tuesday we have a field trip to an assisted living facility where we will be singing carols and passing our cookies. We have a little program planned and we are hopefully going to get to practice it tomorrow. I took off work on Wednesday to go on a field trip with Samuel and then we have Christmas parties Thursday morning and dismiss at 11:00. I am looking forward to having two weeks off of school. We will be home the first week and then we are heading to Illinois on Christmas Day. Jeremy will be flying out to Liberty the day after Christmas to finish his last class (well until he starts his Dr.). The kids and I w...
