Due to the large amount of snow that fell on the ground, I never made it to the library. At this point, if I went to the library, I don't think I'd have enough time to start and finish a book before break is over...
However, being snowed in was kind of nice. I feel like snow forces the world to slow down and enjoy nature for just a little bit. I tried to be as productive inside as mother nature was outside. We cleaned and just enjoyed each other's company. It is always nice to have extra minutes with those you love. My husband works so hard and LONG hours, it is nice to have him around the house.
As much as I love staying in, the snow also forced me to think of work and how I am ready to get back into the routine. I'm a teacher and routine is something that is a basic of a good, structured classroom. I enjoy getting to know my students and helping them reach new heights. Since I teach high school I doubt many of them care to reach the same heights I desire they reach, but I enjoy that working with that age group. Since my son is so young, 14 months, it is a nice balance of personalities and types of demands. When I come home and work with him and teach him things, it is a welcome change after a day full of moodswings and work drama. But, I need the balance of both! Because, I'm also grateful when my husband comes home so that I can have some adult conversation.
As 2011 approaches I still have no slogan. I wonder if my epiphany will come soon. The only words that rhyme with eleven - because rhyming is an crucial part of a slogan - are Devin and heaven. I'm sure it will hit me from nowhere. Until then...
