Friday, October 14th…and nothing makes a Fun Friday more FUN then rain and intermittent power outages. Inside recess is so much more fun when you do not have any lights to brighten your way!!

All I can say about today is that I am super thrilled it is a Friday! If we had endured today and had to come back tomorrow, I am willing to bet my house a few of my staff members would be mysteriously sick tomorrow!

But the best part of today is that the internet was out ALL DAY! Arrived at work before 7 am and it was already out. No emails to check. The IEP system lives in the cloud, so I could not work on any of my upcoming IEPs (at least not on the computer). That was a fabulous gift. Sure I get my emails of my phone, and ATT had no issues, but if it is general knowledge that the internet is down, no one is expecting responses. SWEET!

I had the chance this morning before school to clean and reorganize, cut, prep and laminate (at least until the power fluctuation made the laminator wig out). Starting my weekend feeling a little less behind the 8-ball then I usually do, which offsets the sheer exhaustion I feel at entertaining my 21st century students on a rainy day without power.

Happy Wine Time!
