Okay, Becka ratted me out in a comment. I do have another obsession recently. But I have very good reason. I have to stand outside in the cold for two hours every day so I check the weather multiple times each day. This is the reason I found the funny weather bloopers so easily. The only cause for having indoor recess is either rain or weather below 20 degrees, and that can include wind chill. So on Monday this week we were indoors and I was glad to be out of the cold, but it was very hectic trying to keep the kids from bouncing off of the walls. It is a toss up at this point, outside and freezing my buns off or inside and getting a throbbing headache!
Trying to combat the cold has also been something I have been focused on this past month. I bought a really nice new coat at TJ Maxx. It is a Northface puffy down coat that comes almost to my knees (to keep my buns protected!). I also got a pair of wrap around ear warmers (the kind that go under the back of my hair so they don't mess up the top of my head)(I don't like to wear hats because I don't want hat head for the rest of the day)(I know, wearing a hat would probably solve most of my cold issues, but...my hair!), I also got a pair of ski gloves, wear a variety of scarves around my neck and JT gave me big puddle-stomping boots for Christmas so my feet stay toasty warm and DRY!
All this in an effort not to freeze to death on a daily basis. Then the weather has a warm spell and I am sweating in all of my nice warm gear! I miss the nice fall weather we enjoyed not so long ago! Memories....

Who knew it would be so expensive to get new job? Glad to hear the state of your buns. I've been worried about them for so long.
What you need is the beanie version of the hair-met, as seen in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0rGoWtF-hs
Good luck staying warm, only a few more months of winter!
I feel the same way as you. I hate being outside for recess, but indoor recess can be miserable for the kids and leaders. MY favorite game is called 4 corners and I like that for indoor recess because the kids are trying super hard to be quite, and it can be played with huge groups.
