We woke up today to -12 degrees. That is COLD!!! My sub job for today got cancelled, so I am home to enjoy the day by myself. I have students this afternoon, but I am hoping to get lots done at home, before then.
Yesterday, as I wrote, we had a snow day. We had a lot of fun. We all enjoyed the rest. In the afternoon, we went with Carol and Andrea to Toboggan Hill in Monument. It is a wonderful sled hill from many sides. You can sled down from a lot of different sides and you end up in a bowl in the middle. Laura was doing this and she hit a bump. The tube she was on went in the air and I literally saw her fly off of it. She was in the air at least a couple of feet before she landed hard, face first, in the snow. We all went running to her and she was complaining of back pain. She was able to walk. I called our doctor and the nurse said to put her in the hot tub and give her ibuprofen. I love that hot tub. She got in and immediately felt better. When she got out, it hurt again, but not as bad. She was sore this morning, but able to go to school. If have a feeling that she will be sore for a couple of days. Laura, Tom and Allie were going snowboarding at Monarch next Monday. I have a feeling that may not happen.
Becca thought the sledding was alright, but she didn't like the fast, packed down hills. She stuck to the deep, slow sides. I asked her if she enjoyed herself and she said "it was alright".
As usual, I am having trouble with the pictures of our sledding fun. I have to print another blog with pictures, so you get two today.
Please continue to pray for my family in Florida. My father has been transferred to the VA hospital in Tampa. The docs wanted to do a cardiac catheterization on him, but they found a different abnormality on his EKG. He is very weak and I always worry about him when they start messing with his ticker.
I hope you all have a super day.
