Here's what I'm thinking...when there's a snow day maybe all the teachers (and other school related employees) could go to the student's houses and babysit so the rest of us can go to work.

Or...maybe the weathermen should do this. Maybe then they wouldn't be so dramatic about the forecast.

I love being home with my kids, it's my employer that's not too wild about it.

That said, what I really want to write about today is New Year's resolutions. Ah...everyone says they don't have any or they aren't making them this year, but inside their brains they're thinking, "I'm going to try to lose a few pounds." I think everyone thinks this (or some version of it). Personally, I know I do. I don't say it out loud, though, because I also plan in my mind to fail. So what kind of a weird tradition is this?

I was going to write in this thing that I want to do 52 permanent changes this year. And to prove I was serious, last Sunday I painted my basement. Now I'm thinking just one permanent change is pretty good. Hey, last week my basement was a dirty white. Maybe I'll tell you all about my second permanent change next time I post. Oh yeah, I also plan to do one nice thing for someone else each week. On this resolution I will not speak. If you tell everyone you did something nice it doesn't really count. Those will be a secret but I'll let you know if I slack off.

Bye.
