Friday! Yay! The sun is shining and the temp is actually ABOVE zero today! School has been super busy this morning. House keeping from having a substitute for two days and trying to get the new semester started. Glad to hear that everyone has weathered the week fairly well. Sandra -...

I'm HO-ome! YAY! Got home to frozen pipes - was expecting that. Mr. Sleepyhead (don't know if he's wonderful or crabby yet, he's asleep in his chair) had the heater running under the kitchen sink to thaw things out and the faucet turned on full blast. A few minutes ago the water thawed out...

ME - I'm in South Dakota with Tali :)

Aberdeen, South Dakota was the coldest place on the planet (well - at least the US) this morning. -39 air temp! But it's warming up!

Just a quick drive by. It's COLD!! -27 this morning at my house, about 6 degrees warmer than that in Pierre in the middle of the state. -39 in the northern part of the state in a place called Aberdeen. Our TV news folks say that is the coldest place in the country today! WooHoo! The van is...

Sandra, So glad that he's got a second interview. Things are going to work out it will just take a little time. There's that whole waiting thing again:) I made it safely and uneventfully to Pierre. Roads were good, kids are "interesting" Two of them are not my students to they have had to...

Sending prayers up for you and your family. Our family went through something similar around Thanksgiving with my mother. The first five days are critical. I pray that she will have as remarkable and complete a recovery as my mother has.

No American Idol for me tonight. Hubby calls is cra* TV. Not sure why he doesn't like it. But NCIS is on tonight so it will be that instead.

Kayte, There is a cd player in the van. Nope, no ipod for me :( this is my 25th year teaching and advising FFA members. My oldest daughter was a state officer last year and was our National Officer Candidate this past October. I also have the blue and gold jacket - a couple of them actually :)

Kayte, We have a function called FFA Legislative Breakfast. Our District Officers have some of their training Wednesday night and then breakfast with the legislators Thursday morning and more training after breakfast and photos. It's usually a pretty fun trip, just having crappy weather right...

Oh Sandra, this sounds a little scary to me. I'll keep praying!
