Snow Day!

Although there are some tough days, being a teacher has some perks and today I get one of them - a SNOW DAY!!! I received the call at 5:25 am this morning. I wasn't overly excited because it was the last day before winter break and it is actually a pretty fun easy day. Oh well! I get to stay home and be cozy with the puppies ! I have already shoveled and i have quite the to do list.

• We are hosting Christmas dinner at our house tomorrow night since we will be out of town and won't be able to celebrate with Brett's family. I have lots of prep work to do for the great dinner we have planned and a spectacular strawberry filled coconut cake to make.
• I received one of the greatest compliments yesterday at work when I took in some Christmas cookies. One of my assistants loved the sugar cookies so much that she asked me to make 48 of them for a party she is having Sunday. I think next year I may start a small business.
• I have been trying to get to the Oakbrook mall for some last minuet Christmas goodies...let's cheer on I-Dot that they can those roads clear and get me to the mall.
• And, finally, we leave Tuesday for our road trip to PA to spend Christmas with my family. I am so exited and I have so much to pack!

Have a wonderful day, stay safe, and be warm!
