Ok so here we are on a cold Tuesday night waiting for the snowpocolypse as it is called. I have to beleive it is actually going to happen this time. It started snowing about two hours ago and we already have two inches. They said that during the worst it will snow two inches an hour. I guess this time we have the bullseye on our heads. Stephen is almost giddy he is so excited. he has never seen a blizzard and so he keeps running to the door and looking out. The innocence of youth. If he only knew they worries that accompany a storm like this for the adults. Will the power go out? Will there be an emergency that we can't get out for? When will they plow us out? Do we have enough food in the house? Oh to be a child and only think about how fun it would be to play in it. I sometimes remember that innocence in my mind but I can't find it in my heart anymore. I guess that is the downfall of growing up.
Had a good day at Explorer's. The kids in my class painted stone castle walls. I am not sure they really had alot of fun but I want them to learn to do this stuff on cheap paper before doing it on flats. I am not sure they understand these lessons but someday they might. That is the advantage of being the teahcer, however, I can have them do things they don't understand and while they might question they still have to do it. What I do have a hard time understanding is why I ALWAYS get the ADHD kids. I mean, seriously? We work with paint brushed, hot glue guns, irons, sewing machines, power tools, things that fly in the air and many heavy objects. I get to do all of this while working with ADHD kids and in the mean time try to pull together a show that is not a complete embarrassment. How is this possible, you may ask? I have no idea but I always seem to get it done. That is not always a credit to me but to God who gives me the patience to deal with it.
Well, I guess we are going to find out if I can take being confined for few days. I will let you all know how it goes.
Have a good night and stay safe everyone. if you don't have to go out, DON'T! better to be a live coward than a dead hero!
What we do. How we do it. Where we go with it. And if you read long enough, we may tell you why.
