Snow seriously messes up my day.
I had a huge day planned today. Today is the second day of the semester, and I had two classes today. One from 9:30am to 10:45am, and another from 12:30pm to 3:00pm. Aidan and Zoe were supposed to go to daycare. Alex had school. After school, was the homework hour, and then dinner, and finally we had a pack meeting today. This pack meeting included the cub scout cake bake raffle. Alex and I spent HOURS working on this cake. I mean we worked on it Thursday night, Saturday night, From noon till night on Sunday, and we finally put the finishing touches on last night.
And then it snowed. First the public schools were closed. Since the pack meeting is at a school, the pack meeting/cake bake was canceled. Daycare and FCC was still open, so I got the kids ready to go. Since Alex isn’t enrolled in daycare, he would have to come with me to my classes. But just as I was putting on Zoe’s shoes and putting lunches in the book bags around 8:30am, I got a text. FCC was closed.
And now? Now I sit and do nothing. Well, not nothing exactly. I came up with the idea to host an ‘online’ cake bake, so the members of the pack are emailing me pictures of the cakes the scouts made and I’ll post them on the pack site so everyone can see, and the cakes can be judged. I’ve gotten a couple already, and I’ve started organizing them to make uploading them to the website easier. I’m happy I can help to make sure the scouts still get recognition for their hard work. It isn’t as ideal as going to the cake bake, but it’s better than doing nothing at all.
On another note, I did have my first class yesterday. I think it will be a fun course. What class where you need colored pencils and scissors to do some coloring, cutting, and pasting wouldn’t be fun? That really takes me back. I also have an excuse to take my family to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in DC. If they can bare with me while I do my assignment (answering about 4 pages worth of questions based on a tour of the exhibits), it should be fun for them. But the best part? The extra credit assignment. All I have to do is volunteer 5 hours of my time for others in the community and talk about it with the class. Um, yeah, with my involvement in the cub scouts I can do 5 hours standing on my head.
