All weekend, they have been forecasting a huge snowstorm to move through the state. Polk County is going to be in a blizzard warning starting at noon today. But, the county my district is in (one over) isn't - just a winter storm warning. I still figured last night that this would at least get us a late start this morning before I went to bed because we are a rural school district. No dice.
So, I got up this morning, cursing, because I was going to have to drive to school (although my route to school isn't typically horrid) and back when it was going to get bad. I'll be honest; I haven't gotten used to the stress of winter driving since we moved back. So, the thought of the 20-mile drive wasn't too thrilling.
I double checked my email before I got in the shower. I had signed up for alert emails from the television stations even though we do have a phone tree. I usually get the emails before I get the call (just by a few minutes). No alerts. Poo.
I get out of the shower and see I have a voice mail. No school! The email got sent right after I got in the shower. The stinky thing was that I was up and awake. At 6:30. On a day when I could sleep in.
So, I've spent the last 2.5 hours being productive.
- Caught up on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
- Worked on baby blanket No. 3. I'm almost halfway done!
- Started the oven cleaning (I shouldn't take credit for that; self-cleaning doesn't involve much from me).
- Wrote a blog post! (We all know what an accomplishment this is for me!)
- Started a new book (Incindiary by Chris Cleve; he also wrote Little Bee, which was excellent).
But, now, it's back to knitting.
