Days 276-281- It Snowed...A Lot

 We finally got our tree decorated and it looks great.  It might actually be the best shaped tree we've ever had!  It's definitely feeling like Christmas around here.  I've been keeping the tree on while I teach which has been fun.  The kids loved seeing my tree but they seemed a bit confused about the blue lights!

This week was dominated my a pretty big snowstorm on Thursday.  My district chose to have a "remote snow day" and I'm not going to lie, competing with Santa is tough enough.  Competing with snow and Santa wasn't possible.  I leaned in and made it a "Snowy Day" filled with lots of fun activities for the kids.  (And I definitely wore fleece pants and a cozy sweater!)


Speaking of fleece pants, I may have a problem.  At the start of the year, I wore jeans and I thought that was comfy.  Then I switched over to my Prana pants and Lululemon studio pants and thought that was peek comfort.  Now, I purchased five pairs of fleece pants from Old Navy and the thought of jeans is pretty scary.  This doesn't bode well for me when I do return to a workplace environment.

There was a lot of snow.  Not having to dig out our cars or stress about finding parking was pretty liberating.  I even had time to get back to my barre and pilates workouts.  December has been rather hectic, and super boring, at the same time.  I'm glad I got to hit the mat a few times this week!

I case you're wondering what it's like to teach in December, these are a few of my favorite ways to describe it!  I spent most of my week as a combination of all six of these emotions, with a heavy emphasis on the bottom right!



Oh, and cases continue to soar.  1,000 people have died in Massachusetts in the last week.  Can you believe that?  I'm really feeling discouraged at the current situation.

Not being able to watch my Huskies didn't help my mood improve.  


Add some "in transit forever" packages from the post office and I've definitely been feeling less than stellar lately.  

I'm realizing how many fabulous holiday city traditions we have and how much I miss them.  I'm hoping we can do a few things this weekend because there are still three days to go before vacation 😂
