It's Cold Outside!!!

The wind is blowing and the temps are falling....another winter night in Quincy..the kids have just left after having their Tuesday dinner. They'll return tomorrow night (we eat two nights a week together...great way to stay in touch) and then we meet at the bowling alley where we bowl on the same teams...family togetherness, wouldn't you say?
Dale and I returned from the Great North Pole, or at least it seemed that way, yesterday. It was a mighty cold weekend in Indianola!! Lots of snow, and then more snow, and then, blowing snow. The trip home was interesting....lots of snow, then more snow, and then, blowing snow....hmm....
Hope all of you are staying warm. The weatherman is predicting cold temps and low wind chill factors for tonight and tomorrow. Wonder if we'll have a snow day. It would be nice!! However, in case we don't, Dale has gone outside to shovel snow and see if the Pontiac will start. He has a field trip scheduled with the girls volleyball team and we might be in need of two vehicles tomorrow. He also will return to the ENT to see what his CAT scan shows. Hopefully, Harry (aka Dr. Ruth) can figure out how to help him feel better. He had another one of his headaches yesterday.
He also told me that he will be leaving for Fort Biloxi (Miss.) early this year...around the 30th of May. He's planning on going down and helping in the tool shed. There still is a lot of recovery work to do from the hurricane. He's met a lot of friends and wants to go back and help them out.
I'm keeping busy...Preschool and Kindergarten Roundup is fast approaching. I'm going to oversee this program so that my boss can oversee other things. We've also got our big spring dinner and auction approaching. My job is a little easier here...just make sure that each class has an item for the auction, help with set up, and serve as "secretary" to the auctioneer....I keep track of all the winning bids. School goes on. I teach, then grade, tutor three nights a week, and do reports....is it summer, yet?
Looking forward to our visit with Chris and Tony this weekend. Hope the weather cooperates. We always enjoy going to Kansas City.
Happy Wednesday everbody!!!
Ps: Happy Birthday Julie. Hope you had a great one!!
