5:30am "hello?"
"No school today! Go back to bed!"
Love it love it love it. The two greatest words to a teacher SNOW DAY!! It wasn't until I became a teacher that I realized how people have these vast misconceptions about teachers and snow days. No, we don't have to go to school. Yes, we still get paid. Yes, the teachers actually look forward to them more than the kids do. Especially at my level - elementary. My kids really want to come to school. I realize that they get more jaded as they get older, but I think it's kinda sweet. Today is a wonderful day for a snow day - a three day weekend! I have a ga-jillion things to do before next Friday and this helps me get closer! I love my snow day!

In other news, I visited the chiropractor for the first time ever. He was fun. I laughed through the whole thing - he was funny and I was nervous/anxious/in pain so I didn't quite know what to do or expect. According to him, I had lots of stuff out of whack and he proceeded to whack me until I was right. It didn't hurt, except for one particular jab in my lower back. When I got home, I felt awesome! The next day, pain pain pain. I'm now doing the whole ice for 20 minutes, off for an hour, repeat when I get home at night. I'm also still taking my meds from my real doctor, although those are not working so well anymore. I'm a mess. It sucks getting older.

Speaking of getting older...T turned 30 over the weekend! He's really officially "my old man" now. :) He took it in stride. I bought him an air hockey table for the basement - it was a big surprise and I think he really liked it. We haven't had much chance to play it this week, but we did last night and he kicked my butt in sudden death. I need more practice!

Well, I'm off to enjoy my school-free day. I hope everyone else out there was able to stay home and not go out in this icky icy stuff.
