We have now had 6 major snowstorms since Dec. 26th (see my last posting) and it is beginning to feel as though we are in Alaska...though, from the Weather Channel updates, it is nicer up there and in Greenland than here!
Abby has lost 4 snow days out of 6 already, and we have at least another 6 weeks of winter, no matter what the groundhog says next Tuesday. This was not a great year to be out so often, as she is doing 2 AP courses and had enriched math and English. Her English Regents was 2 weeks earlier than the other regents, thanks to NYS Educators, who AGAIN changed the English Regents..this time, to one day instead of two, just like the Regents Maggie and Kate took in 1999. Thankfully, it did NOT snow on the 11th, so she got her English done. One last Regents in June (American History) and she is done for her career, having 9 in total. She also has 2 AP tests in early May, and took her PSAT in October and her 2nd SAT last week. She is registered for late June for SAT II Subject tests...then, if her SATs this time are good enough, we should be done!
Ken loves his new PT job with the hospital and recently became a SuperUser for their new electronic charting system. IBM is the same for now. I have yet to see all 3 of my CCD classes in one week since Christmas, so these snowdays are also a pain for me. We will be rushing along in May to finish the curriculum!
Almost halfway done with my latest needlework project, and catching up on reading. My ducks returned to the bird feeders in mid-January; this makes 4 years in a row that they show up for lunch! Lots and lots of birds, even squirrels (brave souls, since there is few trees close by for them to escape to) and, of course, deer!
Abby has All-County Concert tomorrow....must hit the hay. Keep warm, everyone!
