Snow Day!!!!!!

Apr 17, 2009

April 17th!  Yes, we finally had our first snow day this school year!  Only in Colorado can it be 65 degrees on one day and snow 8+ inches the next.  And we had thunder-snow today too!  It's been a good day, I made mostly sugar free oatmeal cookies, took a nap, played computer games, cleaned the kitchen and talked on he phone.

I've lost 4 lbs. in the last 2 weeks, still no news on a teaching job for next year, but life is good, because GOD is WAY GOOD!

My choirs, all 70 students, sang the Star Spangled Banner at the SkySox baseball game yesterday (Minor league team to the Colorado Rockies) and they did a great job.  Everyone ate themselves silly (except me!), pizza, giant snow cones, pretzels, chocolate, nachos, icecream and the list goes on!  My kids are really low income and most would never get to go to a game, so they did it up right!  The ball park is probably 10 miles away from the school's neighborhood, and they acted like it was in another country where rich people live.  NO one was lost, or disrespectful, got into trouble and they all said thank you!  that's why I'm a teacher....

Hope everyone has a great weekend,

XOXOXO  Vicky
