Should have been a snow day..

Hello all... I am writing from work. Sitting inside the school building, while it is still snowing like mad outside. Not to mention we got about 8 inches (if not more) last night. Today, SHOULD have been a snow day. Should have been a day with no class. But, seeing that we go by MPS standards, we trudged through the snow and here I sit. You see, MPS never cancels school. The reason for this - childcare. If school was cancelled, where would all the kids go. HS is not a big problem (which is why we kinda get the shaft), but elementary kids are. No school, no childcare and kids get left home alone. So, they dont cancel school. The funny part is. I think we have maybe 25 students that came to school today. First hour, I had to take the other math teachers class, and there was 1 student. Out of a class of 25, there was 1. So, we went down the hall to watch "Bruce Almighty" with another class, where there were 3 students. I think this is just ridiculous. I am actually leaving today early. I dont have any students today, and where I work, we have to park on the road. When I got here, a car about 30 feet from where I parked had smacked into a parked car. Let me tell you, I was NOT real comfortable about leaving my car on the road parked. (There are only reserved parking spaces by the building for a few teachers, and they are given by seniority). There is only one lane of snow plowed on the road - and I dont know that I would even call it plowed. Maybe just pushed aside! So, I am leaving around 11:00. I just dont want my car on the road. I saw one accident and I dont want another. Plus, I dont want to be in the afternoon traffic coming back home. So, I thought.. I have lots of sick leave. I will just take half a day off today and go home early. Maybe nap, watch a few movies, clean my apt, etc. Who knows what I will all end up doing. But.. oh well..

What else can I update you on? Hum.. Last night I made this lemon chicken stuff. Oohh. it was terrible. Not terrible because I messed it up, but terrible because I obviousely do not like lemon flavored chicken and rice. Oh well. Now I know for the future! I can still taste that lemon stuff when I think about it.. YUCK! It gives me the shivers! lol. Oh well.

Lets see.. hum... I do really like when it snows. Im looking out my window right now, and it is super pretty out. Too bad, that snow makes the roads to bad and then everybody drives like an idiot. People need to realize that they just need to be careful.

I was watching the news last night, and there was a kangaroo around the milwaukee vicinity somewhere. I am not exactly sure where, or how it got. But, I thought that was hilarious. I mean, how does a kangaroo get to southeastern WI? They have NO idea where it came from, or how it got here. But, they caught it last night after cornering it in in barn, and they took it temporarily to the local zoo. Whether it stays there or not, I guess depends if they can find out where it came from.

While we are on the subject of weird animals.. Here's a question for you all. When I was in college, we always said a phrase from a movie, but nobody ever knew what movie it was from.. Why we said the phrase, or how it started, I have no idea. But, we did... and i think it stuck just because nobody knew where it was from. If you know what movie it is from.. let me know.. here it is.. WHERE IS THIS MOVIE/TV PHRASE FROM:
"Maybe the dingo ate your baby?"
Anybody have any idea where that is from?
Anyways, I gotta close for now. More at a later date....
