A Peek at My Week {1-05-14}

Welcome to another edition of A Peek at My Week.  I hope you will link up to share what you've got going on this week, either at school or at home.

Well....it's official.  I am DONE with winter.

Don't get me wrong.  I love beautiful falling snow, but this 30 mph-whipping-you-in-the-face-I-can't-feel-my-feet-if-I-have-to-plow-the-driveway-one-more-time-I'm-moving-to-Florida baloney has got to go. Even my poor Puggle, Rosie, is having a hard time dealing with all of this cold weather.  This is what she did today as I was folding laundry fresh out of the hot dryer...pretty smart pooch if you ask me!

Unfortunately, it looks like the worst is yet to come.  We were supposed to start back to school on Monday but it has already been canceled because we are expecting a high temp of -12 degrees that day.  I'm not joking.  Here's the proof:

And Tuesday won't be a heat wave either so rumors are that school will be canceled for that day as well.  :(  Seriously, we are going to be going to school until July if all of these snow days keep happening!

So...what else is going on this week for me?

I'm going to be spending a lot of time getting used to these babies.

I have worn glasses for a long time, but at my eye appointment last week, my eye doc said those dreaded words:  "You need bifocals."  Ughhhh.....  I tried wearing them today, but so far they've given me nothing but a headache.  I completely attribute my need for these not to the fact that I am about to turn 43, but that I do soooo much reading that I have worn my poor eyes out.  That sounds about right, doesn't it?

On Thursday and Friday, I will be spending the days with my mom who is having knee replacement surgery so I won't be at school.  My step-dad is no longer driving and has some other health concerns so I am stepping in as her caregiver.  Prayers for both of us would be appreciated!  : v)

On a side note, on Tuesday, January 7th, I will have my Reading Genre Challenge Tags offered in a giveaway sponsored by Joanne at Head Over Heels for Teaching and Holly at Fourth Grade Flipper.  Both of these lovely and talented ladies have reached 1,000 followers and are holding a HUGE giveaway.  You should definitely check it out!
