If we are lucky, once or twice per winter we get enough snow for a snowball fight. The girls, Abigail especially, always look forward to this. Thought it wouldn't happen at all this year, but on Friday the snow came! Had it been a couple degrees cooler we would have gotten a foot, but it ended up being about an inch. So we had a good snowball fight, and the neighbor kids even joined in. Monday it will be in the 60s.
At school, test results have been surprisingly low. Student motivation has never been lower. Glad I am leaving. This is a school/societal issue that needs to be addressed, and nobody is doing anything about it. The government gave some extra money, but the schools get to decide how to use it. Mine just paid the teachers a bit more to do the same work they have always done. Nobody's responsibility when everyone is to blame, right?
Naomi managed to get back into work this week. She even had her medical exam for the green card. All went well. The bus drivers went on strike, so I had to pick her up from work. Seems like we are turning into France with all the strikes and protests lately. Just without the good food.
