Ode to Snow Days???

Well, Spring is officially here in Wyoming. While other states enjoy the warmer yet not yet hot days of Spring, Wyomingites enjoy the ever changing weather that Spring brings. One day it can be so warm you are sporting flip-flops and driving with the windows down and the next day you can bundle up and try not to freeze to death as you shovel yourself out of your driveway. Such is the case this last weekend. Last week and into the weekend was perfectly beautiful. Then, the storm came. Monday was freezing. I reluctantly wrapped myself in warm clothes and stumbled out of my house to make the 40 minute trek to my job. The roads were treacherous. I was uber stressed as I cautiously took my time to reach my destination. Instead of 40 minutes, it took me around an hour. Luckily, I have planning period first hour, which is a nice built in buffer if I happen to be running late. I pulled up to the parking lot, and...it was empty. Was this an early April Fool's Day joke? Was I so exhausted my eyes were playing tricks on me? Could it possibly be that school was canceled and someone FORGOT to call me? I mean, WHO would do that? I slowly turned back onto the highway to return to my sweet bed hours after having earlier abandoned it. While my second snow day was sweet, it was just a little less so after having almost frozen to death in my quest to mold young childrens' minds. Oh well, at least I took a nap and did some laundry...

And I thought the Utah weather was being crazy! Holy Cow!

You switched from Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi? When did this happen? Thank goodness I get to see you next week and have an in depth (in person!) discussion about this!

Hey Jessica,
This is Maggie (Shepard) Fechner from Cody. I found your blog because I've been trying to find if any of the ol' Cody people have blogs. My family has one too and I'd love to invite you to it, but it's private so if you just post your email address in one of your own comments I'll invite you and you can see what's up with my fam too.
