Snow days are here again...

tra, la, la, la, la!!! I just LOVE snow days. Knowing the night before is even the best of all. I know already that I don't have to wake up at 5:30. I know right now that I can stay out of the foot of snow that we are expecting. For anyone who lives elsewhere, they should be jealous. They say that kids love snow days, but it's the teachers who love them most.

In other news, M had a fever last night and all day today, AGAIN. I hate germs. Doesn't the cold kill them off? Then of all things, the ear thermometer needed new batteries. It has needed new batteries for quite some time, but it was still working. Plus, I couldn't get it open to even check to see what kind of batteries it needed. Finally, after R used his jack-knife to pry off the back, we located two large watch-type batteries. What the heck is up with that? Do you think I have any replacement batteries of that kind in my house? I have every other type. You name it and I've got it, but not the 2032 huge watch battery. I know shocking. So off I went to CVS to buy some batteries that were $6. Two, teeny, tiny little discs for $6 plus tax. They get us in every direction. I almost bought the new thermometer that took AAA batteries because I know I'll always have them on hand, but it has taken me 2 1/2 years to train R how to use the one we have. I'm not doing that again.

Super happy thoughts to everyone.

Lucky. We didn't get one today. Too far north. But we still have 2 to burn, so here's hoping for next week.
