Winter going strong

We seem to be having a record cold and snowy winter here in Warrensburg. The kids used to always wish for snow days and more snow for sledding. They got it, with no end in sight. We've been busy this first month of the year with hosting birthday parties, going to birthday parties, sleepovers, band practice, guard practice, and just busy, busy, busy. Deanna is busy with her classes, I'm busy teaching mine, and all of my administrative work and committees seem to have somehow kept increasing.

Next week Deanna and I go to the state capital (mini time away even though event filled) for a legislative day (MoACTE and MACTE coinciding for me, MoACTE and midwives for Deanna), then a DESE Educator conference which I have to leave early from to get back to another budget meeting with our strategic planning council, and then to the TechNet conference on Friday. With other meetings I think I have a "couple" hours in my office next week. We'll be getting more baby sitters, farming out the kids, and a combination of things to keep everything running.
