Rain, rain, go away!

A lot of great things happened today, but this rain has put me in a little bit of a "mood" (my 27-minute commute home from school took me 54 minutes this evening), and I really just want to curl up on the couch and watch some cheesy television.  Y'all, I don't know where you are reading from, but it has been raining here for the past 72 hours straight, and it's a little out of control.

I could go on about traffic, but what this rain really boils down to in terms of my life and this blog, is that my little kiddos have still not had outside recess, nor has our PE teacher had the option of taking our kiddos outside during their PE time.  I was listening to the radio on the way to school this morning, and the deejay posed the question: "what do you dislike most about this rain?"  A woman--a fellow teacher--called in with the response "indoor recess!!!" and I literally said "ahhhh yessssss!!!!" out loud in my car.  I'm generally very fond of Momma N (Mother Nature), but right now, we are not on good terms.

Given that rain is in the forecast through the weekend, I did a little research when the kiddos left school today, in preparation for what looks like at least one more day of indoor recess.  I found some great ideas for moving around the classroom here (there's also a part 2) and here...my little ones might not be excited about another day of indoor recess, but I for one, am really looking forward to some Freeze Dance tomorrow afternoon.  Momma N, you've got nothin' on us!
