I am snowed in, somewhat, it's just me and a bottle of wine right now, and I have Christmas music playing, and my tree is lit up, and my apartment smells lovely, and for the first time in a week or two, I'm totally relaxed.
If my school calls off (or at least a 2 hour delay tomorrow) I'm going to be more psyched than my students, I swear.
I'm cross stitching an enormous Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi for my MIL for Christmas and watching Christmas vacation. And I'm all full and sniffly from Indian food. SO GOOD
Watching football, hockey and old episodes of General Hospital (all at the same time, while on commericials/intermissions) while trying to motivate to do some work. I have to have something done in the morning that I have been avoiding all weekend.
Relaxing. I made 8 dozen sugar cookies today, cleaned the shit out of the house, and now the kids are in bed. I wish I had wine. I have all the hard liquor, but I'm not feeling it tonight.

So, my NEW employer is closed for tomorrow, but my current school has not made an announcement yet.
Do you know that in 3 years of teaching I have not yet had a 2-hour delay or a closing? EVER? Not ONE? And I live in Philadelphia. We hate snow. We treat it like it's lava.

Catching up on Season 3 of Downton Abbey, drinking cheap Merlot, and coffee, and eating all the leftovers in the fridge so I can restart my diet tomorrow without temptation. Wish me luck.

I'm torn on whether I want Lucy's school to be delayed or cancelled tomorrow. I have a buttload of grading to do, and I've been looking forward to doing it when she's in school since...I guess since she's been alive? Hehe. But I love snow days so that's cool too

Should be working on my TPA and grading. But I'm not. Trying to decide what to have for dinner. DH and I are both sick and neither of us want what the other one wants. I think I'm having soup.
I'm sitting on the couch drinking beer. I just made stuffed crust pizza and it was delicious. DD's daycare closes when the school here closes and I saw earlier where school was cancelled. I missed work on Friday and half a day Thursday because of the weather. I was dreading having to miss again. Thankfully, the daycare owner texted that they decided to be open. The roads from here to there and my work are clear, so I'm relieved I will be able to make it in to work.
I think I hurt tall guy's ego. Or he is in it for one thing only. He tried to take conversation to a level I was not comfortable with earlier today and I shut it down (gently, politely). He said he understood. I haven't heard from him since. Lol.
Watching Sunday Night Football and avoiding doing the dishes. However DH just said he will do the dishes, so apparently my avoidance plan worked. And just found out I won't be going to work tomorrow because daycare is closed.
