Slice - Total Bust... or not?

By -

Well, the promised 8-14 inches of snow turned into about an inch. As of this moment, we have just a little bit of light snow falling on the lawns and driveways.

Untitled When we got the 2 hour delay call last night, I was sure that I would wake up to a day off. Yes, I'm sick of being home. Yes, I really don't want to lose the LAST of our spring break days. We're down to just a three day weekend at this point.

Even so.... I had enough entertaining options for the day that I'm a wee bit disappointed. I wanted to do a test run of my Dalek and TARDIS sugar cookies for this weekend's 9 year old festivities. I wanted to work on my READ craft. I wanted to have time to leisurely catch up with the bills.

Instead, I'm sitting at my keyboard frantically trying to get a stack of those things done before heading off to work.

Bills done - check
Pestering children about random odd jobs they have neglected - check

The sugar cookies will just have to wait for another day.

Overall, I'm glad to get in to work. My Monday programming group has missed several sessions and I'm happy to get the chance to start catching them up. Can we make this the last of the snow for the season? Pretty please?


Update - 8:21 AM
Just as we were about to go warm up the car, we got a new call - SCHOOL'S OUT! Back to plan A. Helping the boys do their "snow day" extra work and catching up on laundry and cookies. Hope you also enjoy your day!

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.
