Go home early

Today, some of the heaters didn't work at school so we dismissed kids at 1pm. The roar of applause could be heard around the whole building.

Of course, my classroom is 85 degrees, so hot that I have to keep the windows open. Go figure.

A snow advisory is in the forecast tonight, so I hope the long-awaited snow day will finally bless us this winter. Just one would be nice. If we get one, it will be just my second day off in 2007. Unfortunately, I feel a cold coming on, the kind that you sort of feel filling up your head and pounding on the inside of your sinuses, waiting to explode. I'm going to lay down for a few hours and see if it passes.
