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!

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. The...

Keep it Like a Secret by John David Anderson Blog Tour

Once again, I'm thrilled to read and review a new John David Anderson middle grade novel - even in the craziness that accompanies the end of a school year! About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to. Somewhere along the line, things between them shifted. Claire started fighting more with Mom, storming out of the house, spending more and more time away, and Morgan felt his sister and best friend slipping away. Now he spends nearly every night sitting awake in his room, waiting for the sound of her key in the lock. It’s a sound he hasn’t heard in nearly a week, ever since her and Mom’s worst fight ever. So when Claire finally calls...
