Bob is napping and I took a short nap myself.
Since getting up I have made a dump cake and a beef and cabbage casserole. The cake came out of the oven, the casserole went in and it should be done by noon.
I am somewhat stir crazy, but it will pass.
Keeping an eye on district and co op e mail to learn if I will work tomorrow or not. Originally it was scheduled off, but since teachers have a required in-service, they are offering a non mandatory in-service for paraprofessionals.
Since I love to learn new stuff, and this pay period is one of the shortest ones of the school year, I said I was interested.
Kids will hopefully be back to school on Tuesday.
I wonder if this is what life would be like if I worked from home (only warmer)?
Meanwhile, I am hungry.

Our car was parked facing north. The weather messed me up a lot as the car would not start.

@GardenGerty I'm sorry your car wouldn't start. It's a good excuse to stay home.

So the peaches go in the bottom and then I dumped a butter pecan mix over it, and melted butter. Coconut on top.

That beef cabbage casserole sounds GOOD
I can't wait to get back in the cabin to make
stuff like that again for my dinners & snacks.

I do enjoy cooking. It is the cleanup that is a pain.

@GardenGerty I know what you mean there
I just got done washing the dish's for the week.
That's the lest I can do being he did get in the
cabin & made some head way with what needs
to be done to get the kit & bath room working.
It may not be much, but with his age & health I
don't push him, but I do let him know what I'm
thinking IF he gets what I'm saying, just get it
DONE ! ! ! I don't care what it looks like BEHIND
the panaling (wall facing) it's what it looks like
on the OUTSIDE the main wall covering.

I am not motivated enough to do it, or to fully investigate it.

If you are accustomed to a walk that must be very boring not to get it.

I’m staying inside myself. They’re talking about Wednesday being “not as cold,” with a whopping mid-20-degree temperature by then! 
Enjoy your lunch! I enjoyed mine!

Do any kids get off for MLK Day? It's down to 5 degrees here; and I'm going to hibernate. Not going anywhere. Have a good day and keep warm.

We are always scheduled off for MLK day but they never say it officially. Optional in-service for paraprofessionals today, mandatory training to administer state test--I am not involved and scheduled professional development for teachers and certified staff.
