I have always heard the saying that sleep is overrated, BUT when you are the one that just can’t sleep there is nothing worse. I think tonight is one of those night and I’m not sure if it is because I am over tired or perhaps because of the altitude here in Vermont. What I do know is that I will be paying for it tomorrow for sure. I’m wishing for some zzzzzz’s.

We were on our way to Vermont, an hour into the ride, when suddenly I turned around and looked at the bags piled to the ceiling only to realize I forgot my bag-my husband’s bag too. Sigh! If you could imagine the tears of my children and the anger of my husband when they realized I added an hour and twenty minutes onto our commute. We literally had to turn around and drive all the way home. We sort of laughed it off when we pulled back into our driveway. I could’ve cried. But we are almost there now and I so need this vacation. Note to self: always check every room before leaving every room. 

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to meeee! Happy Birthday to me! So grateful to have my health and my beautiful family at 38! Let the festivities begin.

Have you ever wondered who names the winter storms? The latest is TOBEY. Recently we’ve been cleaning up from the vicious wrath of QUINN. The amount of wind damage and the incredible thunder snow were quite the site during that storm. I’ve lost track of all the names. I thought I remembered hearing ELSA. I’m not sure what damage she left behind. I’m always curious ABOUT who gives the storm a name! I will never forget SANDY or IRENE or even GLORIA as a child. Is there a name you’ll never forget?

SNOW!!!!

I’m super excited to be leading the Science Fair for the second year in a row. Science month has been such a success. As I watched our students enjoy the amazing planeterium and the workshops on force and motion, density and so much more, I can see how excited the students are. Hands on and getting messy activities have led to such engagement, all the while each and everyone of the students is learning something more about science.

March Madness has begun! Do you join in on the fun? Swoosh! Slam dunk, oh my! Watch as they shoot and fly. Oregon, Duke, Syracuse, Michigan State Waiting to find out their fate. Foul, push pass, and score! So much fun on the floor.  Fill out that bracket and wait and see, Who will earn the victory!
