Snowed In....Again

I think it must be a sign that I am not quite normal, that I feel let down by the blizzard that went through our area Friday and Saturday. I mean, to be sure, 17 inches is nothing to sneeze at, but when the meteorologist repeatedly puts 30" out as final snowfall amount, 17" seems kind of paltry. Some areas around us did get the promised 30"....I'm jealous. Anyhow, I can't wait to head outside at take some pictures of the craziness. Kyle is hoping that the Federal Government will be closed Monday so that he can have a snow day. As I'm looking out the window, I see cars on the highway, so I'm not sure how much of a shot his dream has.

Church was cancelled, so I think most of the morning will be spent digging out the cars and maybe playing in the snow a bit. Last night there was an ambitious group of people playing tackle football in the street. It was fun to watch them slide around. Hopefully, the roads will be cleared soon because we are expecting another snow storm to come through on Tuesday or Wednesday. I of course, being unemployed, say bring it on. But, for people who have to work and are forced to use personal time on snow days, the weather is understandably frustrating.

On that note, the job search is going as expected for an English teacher. Slow. Painfully slow. I actually sent out two resumes last week for private schools. I'm not sure if I'll hear back from them, but at least I was able to take some action. I even felt hopeful enough to create a spreadsheet of schools I'm applying, or want to apply to. AND....are you ready?....I labeled a folder "Job Search 2010." Take that unemployment! To be fair, I am still working as a nanny, a sub, and a tutor. So I am employed, but not in any permanent full time fashion. But whatever happens with these two job openings, I anticipate that that search will be long and spread out. The larger public school districts aren't even posting teaching positions to the outside world until July 1. Lame. And so, I wait.

Well, I think I will get ready to go move some snow...assuming I can find a shovel. I'll post some pictures later if I get any good ones.
