Congrats on your 1,000th post CaliforniaMama!
ps, I thought I heard reports of drivers in Southern California caught unawares by this morning's snow... true? not true? not near you?

And looking down, the first bird says to the second, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking".

Teachable moments, like demonstrating why you don't eat yellow snow?

No snow here. California is a long state and we're about midway. We are too close to the coast to get cold enough for snow, but every once in a while we'll get a few flakes.

Miserable lunchtime today.
This week I am still on phased return, so I finish at lunchtime. However the school have allowed me to continue to cover 40 minutes at lunch, which means I don't lose as much money. I didn't appreciate it today. For every child running round with their mouth open there were four or five littlies wanting hugs and handwarming and asking if we could go back inside or wailing "I'm freezing! It's COLD!" I did feel for them. I too was wearing the wrong footwear - we expected sleet at about 16.00, not snow from 10.15 onwards. I wore non-waterproof boots, which see me through a walk in the rain, but standing in slush are useless. Bless them, some were in Mary Janes which offer about as much protection as sandals. Their parents must have listened to the same weather reports. Wet feet will make you miserable quicker than any other part of the body. I gave out eight pairs of gloves too. Got seven back. Honestly can't remember who got the eighth! Hopefully her parents will see them tonight and question her... Wearing wellies tomorrow. Taking my flats in for inside wear.
