update

reading is good

i am not full of many words today..... feel like i was talking for 12 straight hours today so i will make this short.   i always love reading but often dont make time.   in my world full of DVRs and Hulu and music and podcasts and media flying at me from here there and everywhere, i dont often just settle in and have some quiet time to read.   tonight was an exception.    i am reading

and enjoying it quite a bit.   Sedaris is great.   check him out of you ever get a chance.

snow day

Today is another Snow Day for Fort Osage (and many other schools in the area) and that makes me pretty happy.  I have commented on this before but i feel like this is the main news today and there are a couple things about snow days i do NOT like.   

I am not even going to go there with the whole 'we have to make this up later' argument.   live in the now.

My problems with snow days are this:

1.  I ALWAYS wake up after sleeping in a bit and have a sinking feeling of fear that the snow day idea was just a dream and i am late for school.  it usually happens 2-3 times before i am really confident that i am doing the right thing.    its stressing for a wee moment

2.  When we DON'T have snow days i usually spent the entire night before and morning of must glued to the tv or cell phone waiting to hear.    Then i am a bit let down.   I am not let down at the school district for not calling.... i am let down at myself because i try to operate in the mindset of 'we will have school and if they call it that will be a special surprise.'     we both know that is easier said than done.

whoa.... that was close

i am heading out here mometarily but almost forgot my update for the day.   i have relaxed a bit too long and now it is time to get going with my evening.   Student Council lock in is tonight.   9-5 at the school.... reverse style.   tomorrow morning  is sleep time then shooting a 1st birthday party.   meeting pam and pals in columbia saturday evening for dinner and fun...... a the while trying to dodge bad weather.   pictures soon.
