the weathermen have finally been right in my area - we've gotten about 2 feet of snow over the last day and a half. and we also had some slushy snow wednesday too. so total this week i've worked for 2.5 days. and i am done with winter.
i was not happily expecting this storm, i really didn't want school cancelled for 2 days. i want to be done in june, not going extra days. and i don't want days taken off my spring break in april. while shoveling this morning which took about 3 hours, my mom and i were talking how we haven't gotten a storm like this since i was a kid. when we used to get at least one of these 2 footers each year. but it has been a snowy winter here. especially in february!
and i wanted to be productive these 2 days. i brought home a stack of grading 6" high and i have lots of powerpoints to create for notes on the civil war and the civil rights movement. but i have a hard time being productive at home. so i'm now sitting at the kitchen table and i told myself i have to work until 5. and then i should be getting a phone call from a cute boy with our plans for tonight. since it has stopped snowing and the sun is out! maybe it might melt the snow?
and also having the olympics has also made it hard to concentrate! my skiers haven't done well the last 2 days, but the final event mens event - slalom is tomorrow. and the canada-US women's hockey game was good. and i'm excited for the men's US game with finland today.
and i was sick earlier this week, but falling asleep when you get home at 4.30 and then sleeping to 7am the next morning is the easiest way to feel better! (yay for a delay wednesday morning) until your students get on your case about not having anything graded. oops, sorry guys.
oh and i saw something yesterday that reminded me i was in italy a year ago now. so last night i went through all 700 of my italy photos and laughed about the fabulousness of that trip.
and i'm going to end this because it isn't making any sense. hope you had a good end of the week! any fun weekend plans? i'm not doing anything this weekend and it makes me sad :(

Though it is snowing in Boston now, I must say I am shocked at how little snow we got with all of these storms. I hope you're having a good weekend!
Ugh. I'm hoping Virginia doesn't get smacked with that much snow again. Hopefully it melts fast!! I think we're all ready for spring.
I'm totally with you, we've had snow like that since Christmas and I'm sick of it! Although that second pic is quite magical - reminds me of Narnia :)
Oh my gosh that's a lot of snow! Holy cow. We haven't gotten that much snow this year but I cannot handle this weather anymore either. NO!
