You made me giggle! How many snow days did you get last week?
Hehe! I’m glad to have made you laugh. We had two snow days last week, and two full days the prior week. We also let out early one day that week, as well. My son was happy. Our first snow day last week landed on his birthday. Surprise!
This made me laugh. My cats were trying to do yoga with me tonight… so I get it!
This made me smile! Looks like you had a fabulous snow day!
Now that’s funny!
Hi Mrs. Waters! I’ve missed you at SOL. We have one week (7 days) left in March. I’m hoping you’ll jump back in with some of your wit and humor for the final stretch!
Thank you for touching base with me, Ramona. Grades are due this week, so I’ve been up to my ears in late work, missing work, and just getting all those numbers entered. It doesn’t help that I managed to delete a couple of assignments out of the grade book. Ugh! Fortunately, I keep a paper copy of my grades, so I just needed to re-enter the grades. Whew!
As soon as this is over (tomorrow!) I will jump into the final stretch. “See” you then!
Oh, I do remember those times. Lucky that you keep that paper copy. I would have been in hot water since I just posted straight to the electronic version. Hang in there! I’ll be watching for you to come around the bend and out of the tunnel.
