It was 17 degrees this morning when I took Balt for a morning walk before school. The walkway are awful and the snow banks are incredibly high! Madison hasn't seen this much snow in decades. Whenever it melts we'll be... Continue reading

More Snow!

We got another 3 or 4 inches of snow today. I'm not sure I can remember having this much snow in Madison for so long without any melting. We've got a bit of a warm up this weekend but not... Continue reading

It was a long Monday. My students didn't seem to have missed me that much. I had a big yearbook deadline today so spent most of my prep time and an hour after school going over proofed pages. At lunch... Continue reading

Saying goodbye to sandals and sunshine.

It was nice to have the morning together without a lot to do. My flight boarded at 9:50am. I've learned from now on to use my boarding time as the time to get to the airport instead flight leaving time.... Continue reading

With so many snow and cold days, it's hard to keep track of what day it is. It kind of felt like a Monday again. For me it was a Friday. I left sub notes for the rest of the... Continue reading

Another One!

Yes! We had a snow day. I couldn't believe it but after I went out for a good walk with Balt this morning I realized, it was pretty treacherous out there. I got home drenched in sweat. I had two... Continue reading

Remembering

It's weird to think that 5 years ago we lost our principal. I know I am not the only teacher to think of him fondly and often. The one blog post I wrote to go "viral" (not really but it... Continue reading

Tonight was the Mid Winter Dance, once called TWIRP officially and is still referred to as that. Girls are supposed to ask the boys but a lot of kids just come with friends, alone or in big groups. I come... Continue reading

It was a frigid day and all I can think about is how I can't wait until this cold is over. My front yard is a lumpy ice rink. I was a bit late to my workout this morning because... Continue reading

We are in for crazy cold weather and freezing rain, ice, and hail. I guess a bunch of schools closed today but not us, which is fine with me. We're going to have make up time eventually. I had planned... Continue reading

The Big Warm Up!

It seems a little crazy when being in the 30's is called "balmy!" Madison finally warmed up to normally cold winter temps and you'd think we were having a tropical heat wave with so many folks going outside for some... Continue reading

Cold Day 1

The day was pretty mild, if you ask me. I could not believe we had the day off but I'm sure the school district had it's reasons for keeping all the kids home. Other than yoga and a dog walk,... Continue reading

Snow Day #2
Image
It ended up not being so bad due some dry air pushing in from somewhere. We still got a few inches (not sure on totals) but it wasn't record breaking. At least the temperature got into double digits. I enjoyed... Continue reading
