Two snow days; students were wild
Snow day! What could be better? A day to catch an extra few winks, write a chapter instead of a scene in my novel, answer that piled-up mail, read through a backlog of magazines, and curl up with hubby in front of the tube while drinking hot chocolate. Two snow days? That’s a double blessing!
Of course, there are downfalls to snow days. The dogs won’t stay out long enough to do their business. At some point, the walk does need to get shoveled. Sometimes the walk even requires shoveling more than one time. Finally, when I return to my teaching job, the students are unfocused and hyper. Sadly, very little instruction or productivity happened.
So, what could be as could as a snow day? How about the weekend! True, there are chores to be done, but there’s also time to relax. My husband and I will visit family, attend church, and have other weekend perks. The sun is out fortunately, whichĀ means the dogs are willing to go outside. Finally, as one of my students aptly observed, it’s quieter on the weekend.
That’s my weekend. How about yours?

Never looked at it from the teacher’s point of view. Bittersweet.

I wonder what my students were feeling at the day of their day with me. š
