Back to the Grind (plus some weekend shenanigans)...

Well, folks, it's over. Christmas break has come and gone and I went back to work today. I was actually pretty ready to go back...I was getting pretty bored. I gonna miss being able to sleep in every day and not have to worry about setting an alarm, but there's something about those sweet faces and those toothless grins...I love my job and wasn't sad about having to go back today! :)

Schools around here are delayed two hours tomorrow because of the record freezing temperatures. The windchill will feel like -5. I know that doesn't sound extreme to people in the north, but you have to remember that here in NC, we're used to it being around 50 degrees in the winter. Not 20. Kids don't have the proper clothing to be out in that type of weather! The school systems delayed to give the schools a chance to warm up and to make sure the buses are functioning properly--not to mention they gave the kids a break from having to stand at the bus stop at 6am! 2 hours and 2 degrees higher won't make much of a difference, but at least they'll have the sun on their side.

Husband and I went to see Anchorman 2 this weekend--it was pretty good, but definitely not as funny as the first one. We were talking about how we didn't know of any movies that we had seen where the sequel was better than the original--does anybody out there know of any?! I was really pleased with Anchorman 2 until the very end...there was an extra scene that I thought they could have left out and saved us about 10 minutes of our lives (if you've seen it you probably know what scene I'm talking about). It just didn't fit with the movie!

On Saturday, I took it upon myself to organize two of our closets and to rearrange our gym so that we could work out again (typical resolutions....duh). It took me about 2 1/2 hours, and I got 6 bags of clothes and shoes and three bags of trash out of the deal. Here's a look at my closet after. I didn't take a picture before because frankly, i'm embarrassed by how bad I had let it get!

Other than that, we pretty much took it easy this weekend. There was a lot of football, a lot of snuggling, some lesson planning, and a Sam's club run. 

 

Playing catch-up with my questions (I've been journaling, just not blogging)
