Happiest Day Ever! and Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

So there I was, lying in bed listening to NPR.  I was thinking about the test I had to give today and the wretched weather that was waiting outside for me.  I have to admit I was cursing it a bit.  I had already turned off 3 of my 4 alarms and I did the daily "sick check"  wherein I ask myself if there's any possible way I can justify a sick day.  I concluded that there wasn't and proceeded to open my computer to check my mail.  It helps me wake up when I actually have to focus on something. 

 Almost as soon as I opened my computer my teacher friend Kristina Kim (my hero for the day) wrote "OMG I can't believe it's closed!"  It took almost no time to realize that she must be talking about school.  I was listening to the radio and  John Hockenberry hadn't said anything about it yet, so I cautiously started exploring news sites.  NYC Dept. of Ed. hadn't posted anything yet either.  I was about to abandon all hope (desperately questioning Kristina about where she heard the news) when John came through for me.  Due to weather ALL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED!   Four years of waiting and we finally get a snow day.  I'm so happy right now.  Here's the proof:

I may look slightly deranged, but it's just excitement I promise!

I feel bad that I cursed the snow.  I think it quite beautiful now.

Well, now that my schedule cleared up, I'm off to Ihop with my fellow blessed teachers!
