Aidan gets ANOTHER snow day tomorrow as the public school buildings were deemed unsafe by the code enforcer. (Alannah and I still have to go to school tomorrow--our school is private...and already has had the snow removed....) School districts across the state are having to call in the National Guard to help remove snow. The video footage from some of the more urban areas is unreal--at least up here in the sticks there is some place to put excess snow.
Our roof is holding, but the roof on the addition is leaking. Kids at school were saying one kid's roof collapsed--he wasn't in school, so hard to say. The fire trucks blared up the road this morning--not sure for what--there were many accidents with the ice and with the roads being so narrow. Aidan said that they almost had a crash with the school bus today because some idiot blew past the bus and didn't have room. I guess that person ended up getting stuck in a snow bank or something... it held up traffic going into school for a bit.
It was still very icy this morning, even with the 90 minute delay. Scott ended up driving me to work so he could have the truck at home to help get the van out of the ice-rut it had sunk into overnight. When he got home, the truck got stuck, and then the snow blower died. We have our share of problems lately!
We are looking forward to a trip to Owego tomorrow in order to celebrate Mom and Dan's February birthdays. Hopefully we can set troubles aside for a couple of days and enjoy family and football. Anyone who knows my mother and father will appreciate how therapeutic a visit to the Grays can be! They are amazing hosts. Dad is experimenting with Vietnamese soup... sounds appropriate for the weather these days: warm, yet with tropical hints!
I see another storm is due Saturday, and again next Tuesday! Yikes! We may never get this play rehearsed until August!!!! :)
I am trying to keep my chin up. Bad energy is not good for the theater. I have to be the one to force a good attitude, even when things are not going the right way. I will have to think of a way to re-charge everyone, including myself--the family and football should help?!?!
It is amazing how quickly bad weather and unexpected changes can kill morale. The Vice Principal was in to chat and check in with me this morning, and then told me he was off to find something other than snow removal for the custodial staff to do. I guess they were getting a little tired of that, can't say I blame them.
If only the Steelers could win the Super Bowl...... that would fix everything!!!!
hahahahahaha
