Snowed In!
Hey friends!
The Dallas area has been SLAMMED with crazy cold temperatures, ice, and SNOW for the past several days. We’ve had lots of school districts (including mine) close for several days. I’ve been home, snowed in since TUESDAY! (today is Friday) Daron and I have tried to keep ourselves busy, but mostly we’ve just been reading, watching movies, and eating soup and cookies. 
I’ve had a lot of time to rest, and I have loved every minute of it. It’s been like an unplanned bonus spring break! Honestly, I’m so grateful for it.
To keep myself busy, this morning, I decided to do the Accent Vlog Meme that’s been going around. I heard about it from Caitlin who did the video a few days ago, and I’m thinking it’s pretty much the most fun thing EVER.
My kitty cats have been so clingy and snuggly, which is pretty much precious.
On Wednesday, I think, Daron and I set off on a great, and icy ADVENTURE to the grocery store… We needed things like soup, and cookies to sustain us. Our grocery store isn’t very far, but on that day, it took us about 30 minutes to get there, and 30 minutes to get back. The ice was covering the streets, about 1.5-2 inches thick. IT was SOLID. It was SLICK.
I took a few photos and little videos of that as well… Please forgive my inexplicable speaking voice on these videos… I guess the cold caused me to regress and talk like a 10 year old or something, I have NO idea.
CRAZY.
I would LOVE if you’d do the accent vlog! be sure to leave me a message if you do!!
Good morning, ATX!
Hey guys, It’s a lovely morning in Austin, and apparently a snowy and beautiful morning in my home town, Denton, too!
The three of us teachers, were rousted this morning, earlier than we planned with 3 simultaneous notifications that our district would be closed due to the significant snow!
Meanwhile, we’re down here, NOT having a snow day, ready to go and learn all about special education advancements!
We’re glad to be here, but we would have also been glad to be cuddled up at home, having a snow day. 
My hubby sent me a photo of the snow, look how beautiful it is there… I really wish I could see it.
The conference promised us all “continental breakfasts” but I was so pleased to wake up and see some actual warm food! I had the vegetarian egg scramble (eggs, peppers, potato), a few strawberries and a slice of pineapple (the honeydew was definitely not edible, unfortunately. It was supposed to be breakfast tacos, but I skimped on the tortillas, and saved the calories for the 2% in my coffee.
We’re going to head out to some sessions now, but I’ll be back later with more gut-wrenchingly exciting happenings.
