My principal sent this out as part of an email awhile ago. It was so lovely and eloquent and inspiring I thought I'd share it with everyone ( Read more... )

It seems to be snowing outside... and it's almost April. Yesterday it was sunny, rainy, thunderstormy (is that a word?) and about 72 degrees. Now it's snowing ( Read more... )

So I was looking at the PWCS website and I found the following: http://www.pwcs.edu/NewsReleases/nr181-03.html which dispels all the rumors. Augh! 7 1/2 hours with the little angels!!

So I am home today due to a snow day. I was home yesterday, and will probably be home tomorrow. I was home all last week. When will it end?!? I am getting so bored.

Mr. Snipey-poo does not seem to like his new nickname. As I wrote my last journal entry, someone was shot outside a Home Depot in Falls Church (or as Kyle says, False Church). Now maybe Dave won't drag me there to look at light fixtures or paint samples or whatnot. Thanks, Mr. Snipey-pants. Go for Radio Shack next, please.
