For all those days I wished, hoped and PRAYED for a snow day...looks like our dreams are coming true...or are they? School is closed for 3 weeks, but word on the street is that it might be until the fall. Coronavirus seemed to appear from nowhere to slap us in the face. At first it was far away...it won't come here. Then it was here, but not in our neck of the woods. Overnight it came in like a tsunami and turned our world upside down. Five days ago I sat with a team of teachers planning what our district would do IF we were to close for a bit. Four days ago we learned school is closing. Three days ago teachers gathered materials and planned instruction for students. Today, we teach from home.
I cannot describe the emotions I'm feeling right now. I would be lying to say that I'm not just a little bit happy to sleep in, spend time as a family...in the slow lane. How many times has Todd said, "I wish we could just slow down." Well, here is our chance. I'm really sad to think our spring break will not happen, it's only a matter of days until the cruise is canceled. I'm sad to think that all of this years events may not happen...school concerts, Girl Scout cookie reward dinners and our trip to Mackinaw, Lego League World, the cheerleading Summit competition, our summer cruise vacation...and so much more.
For now, we stay at home to stay safe.
