extra time

I'm finding myself with some extra time today. Just as I finished washing my hair this morning at 5:15 or so, the town sirens went off. You never know if that means severe thunderstorm or tornado but after last week in Parkersburg I woke Dan and we went to the basement. After the storm passed I finished getting ready and got a call that school would be delayed an hour because of power outages. Obviously, we still have power.
Last week's storms caused a lot of tree damage just one block south of us. One of the teachers at school lives there and lost a BIG tree and had roof damage. All we had were twigs in the yard!
Today will be first day back for my friend and co worker who recently had a baby. She has to do the last three days of school or take them without pay, which she couldn't do. The substitute and I just finished reading Charlotte's Web so I have planned to watch the movie version today. Monday is "fun day" when the PTO rents and brings in inflatables. With an adapted schedule and two hours of play time, there isn't much for me to do that day. Tuesday is a half day.
I just got another call, now we're two hours delayed, so I'm going to sew for a while!
