Christmas Countdown - 2014

[MerryCarey]

Scratch that....snow day.

My boss called me and asked what did I think....and I think this...

1. Student safety first....always.
2. Be able to defend your positions with logic and reason, not apologies.

Weather is supposed to move in at 9:00 am, which is way too close to kids being on buses.

I'd rather parents be mad that we kept their kids at home instead of them being mad that we put them at risk.

Anyways...I get to read Christmas related articles for a while! Yes!

Good call, Coach!
I sure do miss snow days. These days if I stay home due to weather I have to check my office email every few minutes all day long for incoming jobs. Still, it's warmer and safer than trying to get to the office, so I can't complain.

One our local news channels just posted this over on facebook. There was a group of 10 soldiers and 2 dogs heading home after being deployed and one decided to get a nap in while waiting for their next flight.

That's awesome!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Onward we move into the week.
Onward we move through the count.
Onward we move toward our next Milestone!

Days to the Season: 282
Days to Christmas Day: 324

Allrighty.
One week from tomorrow.
Our next Milestone.
The one quarter point to Christmas Season 2014.
Ready or not!

Continued warm yesterday but somewhat rainy.
Now today is supposed to be dry but cold.
(It would be nice to have a warm dry day for a change!)
Currently, it is 39 degrees here in central NC.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks!

:???:

a few years back we had a storm arrive latter in the day, the schools did not close right away and a country school ended up keeping the kids for the night because they could not get home. People on snow mobiles brought food, blankets etc. Some kids living close by got home, most did not. But it was a night the staff never forgot and now when a storm is predicted the kids go home !

That is wonderful that all pitched in, in your community for the country school.

crazy Christmas guy is an excellent handle to have!

Very pretty, CS!!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I have another crazy-busy planned here at work. I haven't seen it like this in a while, but I'm not going to complain about having a plant-full of work!

Our school recently had a Krispy-Kreme doughnut sale as a fund raiser, so I had to go pick up our orders this morning. Sometime this morning I scratched my ear, and since I'm on blood thinner, I wound up with a big, ugly scab in my ear...and I didn't know it. So I'm walking around the school, talking it up with the other parents, having a big time. When I took the doughnut home, Nancy said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you about your ear."

I also bite my fingernails till they bleed, so I'm always wearing bandaids on my fingers. I AM CRAZY.

I hope y'all have a great day!

That must be rough when you bleed so easily. Take good care, friend- Be careful!


Hope your work day flies by quickly. Another reason it's nice to be busy!


Have a great day, Brad!

Good Morning, dear friends~

It's a chilly -12 degrees here, hoping to reach 16 degrees today. But, it is also sunny, so I can't complain too much!

Hope you all stay safe & warm today in the snow and ice storms, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers.

Lots of things to do before work today, so I better get moving! But first, I need some coffee =]

Have a blessed & beautiful day!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's not to bad out here think morning with a temp of 20 degree's and a predicted high of 27 degree's. The snow should arrive here around 2 this afternoon and the heaviest snow should arrive around 7 to 8pm with an inch an hour coming down. So it's going to be a nasty morning out tomorrow. Not much going on for me today. I didn't sleep the best last night so I'm not going to do much today. Just kind of lay around and hopefully take a nap so I have some energy to shovel tonight and tomorrow!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Krispy-Kreme sounds really good!! I wish we had one on this side of town.

LOL!!! My aunt does the same thing with her fingernails.

Take it easy today, buddy. Turn your phone off, and put headphones or ear plugs in & lay down. Hope you can get some rest.

Have a GREAT day!!

Good morning!
I just got back from the supermarket a few minutes ago. I'm going to relax for a few minutes with a cup of hot coffee before I get started on some chores. We have more snow heading our way, it should start around midnight. I'm not sure if it will be enough for a snow day, they are saying it may turn over to a freezing rain by the morning rush. I'd rather have all snow, the freezing rain sounds treacherous. We'll see what happens, they will fine tune the forecast as the day goes on.
My youngest feels like she has a sore throat coming on so I'm going to bring her in to the doctor. I drove her to school today because the side roads are so icy. I'm going to pick her up a little later and bring her straight to her appointment.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!
