Currently, a "cold front" is working its way across the islands. High winds and rain are expected at least through tomorrow. Winds are predicted as high as 60 mph and a few places on the windward side had already lost power this afternoon. Surf has been high as well -- on the north shore and higher than normal even in the lagoons here at Ko Olina.
I'm not gonna lie...everyone at school was kinda hoping we wouldn't have school tomorrow. Its not that we don't (well, I at least) love the job...but come on...an extra day off? Especially when its the first week and I've already acquired three pre-k for testing? And, when you're temporarily in the library living out of boxes? And, 43 progress reports are due asap? And, more IEPs are coming in? Honestly, its never dull and really -- that's a typical week at our school. There's always something brewing.
On the way home today the announcement comes over the radio...I'm driving down the highway...oh about 15 minutes from home or so, listening to the radio...when they stop the music to report: ALL DOE schools are closed tomorrow. ALL. OF. THEM. That's like the whole state. I dunno...I was a little impressed I guess...never heard of that happening tomorrow.
So, we'll see what happens tonight and tomorrow. It figures that I left my raincoat/umbrella at school today when I left. Sure didn't forget files to work on progress notes. Huh.
We went out to eat tonight and stopped at the grocery store for a few things on the way home. We haven't been since we've gotten back and didn't get a lot, but just a few things for now.
Its pricey...$7.00 for a case of water...$6.00 for a small box of cereal...$4.00 for a bag of chips...
I dare you...guess how much a bag of ice was? GUESS.
$2.29. Yeah. Frozen water for $2.29. The life we live.
Stay dry and warm everyone!
