Today, reality hit…

Thursday night we went to Ann Arbor to see my father in law, during the entire evening my phone was exploding with texts about other states closing schools… I became concerned that we were next. I was also hopeful that I would get to teach for one more day. There was a news conference with the Governor and the head of the Michigan Department of Education. Schools are closed until April 6th. Emails came, the phone started ringing; I had until 10:30am Friday to get things from my classroom.

Friday was busy… we drove to school picked up some things… saw a few friends… a trip to the rink for costume fitting, a stop by the pharmacy, trip to Campbell’s school for supply pickup, a stop at the carpet store and a visit to Marv’s for meat. The trip to Marv’s was successful and I felt we had enough food for a week. While we were there, I got some stew meat. Tonight’s dinner; vegetable beef soup and cheddar cheese biscuits. Thank goodness I love to cook, otherwise we would be miserable.

Full day one complete…. here we go….
