Sounds like another chicken night around here, and I'm in, too...LOL!
I had a CRAZY day at school today. Thanks to Ida, we had incredible amounts of rain...STILL raining! Some areas have gotten 7 inches in the past 24 hours. I think we've gotten about 5, so far. The wind is blowing pretty hard as well...doesn't make for the best driving conditions. That being said, we had a delayed start. The employees went in at the regular time, but the buses didn't pull in until 10. When I got there after a harrowing drive, I discovered the power was out at the school. The power company said they'd have it up and running by 9. I was told we were better off than one other school which had sub-pumps (sp?) in some of the classrooms due to flooding with kids coming in at 10! I was sitting in my room by the window for light grading papers when I heard a distinct POW! I raced to the back of the building with my cell, expecting to find the two power company workers laid out! They were fine, but the whole transformer had blown and would take until after 5 today to be replaced! Those children who had cell phones were allowed to call to go home and most teachers allowed those who did not use theirs. By the end of the day, there were only about 10-20 kids per grade level left! WHAT A WEIRD DAY! Sorry, had to vent...but at least we won't have to make the day up over Thanksgiving!
ANYWAY, tonight I picked up a chicken and will roast with lemon and Herbes de Provence. William made veggie soup at the camp yesterday, so that will go along with the chicken for a "veggie" to use that up. I MAY make Lab's Bacon and Brie soup for a starter, but I need to check to be sure I have enough Brie left and all the necessary ingredients. So roasted meat and soup is the order of the day here. It's in the 50's and raining....BRRRRR! That's cold for around here!
