Grateful Friday

Last night we got a message there was a snow advisory two hour delay for Alpine School District.  My head filled with thoughts of productivity.  I was thinking I would take Joan anyway (she's a little champ in the snow) and have two hours to work in my classroom.  Alas.  Regular start time.

Which is just as well because I wasn't sure what I wanted to cut out of my day.

It made me grateful for two things though:  1- we haven't had snow days (which I appreciate because we would have to make them up during spring break and that would be tragic) and 2- we have had the right amount of small storms blow through so we haven't had any awful inversion days yet.

Way to go, weather!

I'm grateful for the joy filled messages Emma has been sending me from Disneyland.  I'm a little jealous but I am happy to live vicariously through her.  Reminds me of when she went to the Louvre every Friday while she was living in Paris.

I'm grateful we were all home last night.  Mark did homework and Adam and I were incredibly tired slugs.  At 8:30, we were shocked it was only 8:30.  Life has had a way of eroding our energy.

I'm grateful for answered prayers.  I was praying for one of my students--her mother, actually--and all is well.

I'm grateful that I received a small grant I applied for for my classroom.  I'm going to buy lots and lots of books!
