February appears to be never ending...

Although in reality February is the shortest month of the year, it has sure felt like the longest month of the winter around here. We have had quite a lot of snow this winter (just in time to have our own driveway to clear) and I have a feeling it is going to be around for quite a while longer. So far this school year we have had 4 snow days (4!) and 2 late starts. This is crazy.

So what we have been up to... work. Jon seems to be working all of the time since they are short handed in the lab. The weekends get really long for him on call, so he enjoys the weekends off even more! I am trying to keep up with me challenging HTML and my new marketing course, while still teaching accounting x 2, desktop publising, and computer apps. Yes I teach 5 different classes a day (those of you who are teacher may understand this is a big load, especially with only 45 minutes of prep time).

Jon and I did finally break down and get internet and dish at our house. We last a good 6 months with the free service, not bad. But at least I now can count on the internet since we are paying for it, and we can watch 100 channels instead of 7.

Jon and I will be participating in March of Dimes, March for Babies in May. If you are interested visit our site. www.marchforbabies.org/team/poppyseed

Internet

Well I spend an hour a day talking to my students in Web Design/HTML about how important the Internet is in our lives. Then I go home and stare at my computer without the Internet working. The computer seems so pointless without it.
Nice.
