One thing I love about teaching is the fact that when it snows a lot, I don't have to worry about calling in to work...they call me and tell me to stay home! I am convinced that teachers enjoy a snow day more than the students. They always seem to happen right when I need one most. For example, yesterday I had a really rough day. My computer got a virus and crashed, I had to completely redo a major project and had to stay after school later than I was expecting. I came home exhausted and just plain spent. And today, it's like God is giving me a much needed break right when I truly could use one.
So, as everyone else carefully drives 10 mph on the interstate, I want to say thank you for taking one for the team. A snow day is God's gift to teachers for the burdens we often carry quietly. Interestingly, I plan to spend my snow day working on lesson plans...in my pajamas! A teacher's job is never done.
