There is no school today due to snow.  Mind you, it hasn’t snowed here, so I can only assume there is a blizzard no less than 15 miles away.  Either way, I don’t have to/can’t go to work today.  Yet I’m up at 6:30 and can’t go back to sleep.  More time to do all kinds of exciting things!

Currently on my list (developed in my head when I couldn’t go to sleep at 5:30, either):

• Finish cleaning up after small group Monday night
• Laundry
• Exercise
• Online Christmas shopping  done!
• Blog (almost done!)
• Revise lesson plans
• Read kids’ drafts of stories
• Finish library book (preferably at Starbucks–seriously, there is no new snow here)
• Return library books
• Be crafty
• Make chili and rolls for dinner so we’ll have delicious leftovers

Should be a good day.  It’s weird to have a day off in the middle of the week without that nagging shouldn’t-have-called-a-sub-could-have-made-it-to-school-if-I-wasn’t-such-a-wimp feeling.
Speaking of good days, we’ve had lots of them since I posted last.  Thanksgiving was great:  two dinners with family, time with Raina at EMP, general relaxing and doing nothing.  School is going pretty well.  All of my conferences were pretty good and I’m still feeling (mostly) on top of things.  It’s still fun to be small group hosts and the group is humming along.

Hope you are all safe and warm.
