Day Nine...

So the title of this post may not mean much to anyone else, but to me...yeah...day nine is significant. First of all--seriously, it is our NINTH day off of school because of the weather. We got literally 12 inches of rain yesterday--yes, all in one day. It was nuts. So, a lot of the highways and roads are washed out. I, for some reason, did not get the phone call telling me that school was canceled, however, so I drove to work today...only to quickly realize by the DEFINITE LACK OF CARS and students that I was the only one there. Yeah. I was mad. I called my principal and he confirmed that school was, indeed, canceled. So, although it was nice to head home, it would have been EVEN NICER to have NOT had to get up (early, I might add), shower, dry and fix my hair, get dressed (in a dress, hose, AND heels today), put on my makeup, get gas, AND drive 35 miles each way.

In other, MUCH BIGGER NEWS, Cameron officially resigned today. His last day will be next Friday, and he will be reporting to his new job in Utah on March 31. I am very excited and VERY stressed about this. The job will be great. I am positive that this is a good decision and a fantastic opportunity for us and for our kids. My concerns are more practical--money, as always. I am always a bit worried about insurance--since I can't really get any. But, the job is awesome and Cam is REALLY excited. I am thrilled to be moving closer to our families, especially my mom. It will be wonderful to be close. It will be hard to leave, but, I keep hearing that change is good...so...here's hoping!

Tomorrow I will try to post a picture of the cutest thing--Ben in his new glasses. They are so stinking adorable! He has these little blue, wire frame glasses. They make his eyes look HUGE. I am so happy that he will finally be able to see better. That's wonderful! We are having a bit of a difficult time convincing him to keep them on--he is struggling. I think because the prescription is SO strong (apparently the kid has been mostly blind for the past 4 years) that Ben is really having a hard time adjusting--it's giving him headaches, and they keep sliding on his nose. They were adjusted beautifully, but then he bent them so badly we had to go back to the vision center almost exactly 8 minutes after we left it (nice!) to get them fixed, and I think the nose piece didn't get fixed quite as wonderfully the second time. But...he looks really cute.

Only a half day of school left until a four day weekend--hopefully we are going to be working our tails off! This is the only weekend we have left until Cameron is gone for several months. So, I told him to try to get a dumpster and we are going to purge!
