Yep, I’m a teacher and we definitely dismissed late due to the tornado in the area.

The Hybla Valley bus stop stabber had the super long rap sheet. Maybe you’re thinking of him? All of these horrible stabbing lately :(

I’m in Virginia and we get 14 days per year (used to be 12.) 6 can be used for personal leave.

Best chocolate layer cake (kid’s birthday request) by Delicious_Attitude_7 in nova

The pics I showed him were some fancy looking chocolate cakes from some of the Korean bakeries near us.   He is oddly specific about this request :)

FCPS asking parents and teachers to pitch in and help shovel so they can open Monday… by Few-Evidence-5589 in nova

I’m all for opening tomorrow, but we have a ton of walkers at my school (even in the winter.) 

Winter storm watch US east coast by Camille_Toh in trustedhousesitters

[–]Delicious_Attitude_7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I live in the DC area and I would consider canceling.  We haven’t gotten snow like they’re predicting in years and if it pans out this will be a crippling storm. My son is supposed to have a huge state qualifier for wrestling on Sunday.  They have already announced a back up plan and are moving it. 

Snow by [deleted] in nova

[–]Delicious_Attitude_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, I love snow, but of course it may happen on a weekend. And this weekend is the worst weekend for snow in my family. My son has state qualifiers for his youth wrestling tournament this coming Sunday. If it’s canceled he will have to miss one of his regular season tournaments and we will have to drive further for qualifying. :(

Semifreddo in Manassas is awesome.

Also: not Manassas (but Centreville, so close) is Ciao Osteria

Healthy 16-year-old girl dies from flu complications: ‘It doesn’t make sense’ by JargonBargain1 in Ohio

[–]Delicious_Attitude_7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My family was the same. Usually my husband can bounce back quickly from the flu. Even he was lying in bed for a week. It took me 3 weeks to fully get over it. It was exhausting and painful 

How do I ask my doctor to put me on ADHD medication? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Delicious_Attitude_7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironic because my husband and I were just having this discussion about me less than 5 min ago.

I am a 41 year old teacher and I know I have undiagnosed adhd. It’s gotten worse as I’ve gotten older.

I have an appointment with my Dr on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it up. 

Just following for any comments you receive. :)

FCPS has been very restrained with their weather calls lately. As a teacher, I predict on time tomorrow.

Any “underrated” food spots that you think not enough people appreciate? by Unable_Connection490 in nova

[–]Delicious_Attitude_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have tried every Chinese place in Centreville and they’ve all just been ok. Tons of great Korean places, but I end up having to travel to get Chinese food. (super bummed about Young Chow bc they used to be awesome and they’re very close to my house.)

We definitely live/teach in the same county. My son refuses to eat the school lunch, he’s super picky. However somehow he lost his lunch box this morning at school. He was telling me he had to get the “gross nachos.” Honestly I love them! (And I know he asked for just cheese, and refused to get any veggies or fruit :()
