It is Wednesday and the school lunch on Wednesday is always the same - chicken sandwich, spicy chicken sandwich or crispito. Jess looks forward to the chicken sandwich every week.
Drew had a baseball game last night. They lost 10 -5. It was mostly an error riddled inning that cost them the game. He played left field for an inning and then 1st base the rest of the game. He had three at bats - stuck out once (first time all year he struck out), out at first once and had a single.
The baseball team is really struggling this year but they are having a lot of fun. Drew has a few friends on the team and that makes practice and games, regardless of the outcome, fun for him. The season ends in mid June so he and I will have a chance to go golfing a bit this summer.
Today is the lull in the week. Thursday, Jess runs at the state track meet and then I have my first night of golf league. It should be fine, Jess runs at 1:20 and I don't golf until 5:00 so I should have plenty of time for both. Drew is excited that he is getting out of school to go watch her run.
Friday, Drew has a baseball game. Saturday more state track and Sunday, another baseball game.
Today is just a day to take a breath. Drew has team pictures tonight and Jess should have an easy practice. So I think I will just relax this chicken, chicken, crispito day.

Conference Champ!!!
The conference meet was an adventure. Jess was scheduled for 4 events. The long jump, the open 400, the sprint medley relay and the 4x400 relay. It was nice but windy conditions.
The result of the day:
4th or 5th in the longjump
Conference Champ in the open 400
Conference Champ in the Sprint Medley Relay
Conference Champ in the 4x400 Relay.
4 events, 3 gold medals. I think the nerves were getting the best of her for awhile, she kept saying she was tired and had a few tears but she did well. The last event was the 4x400 and one of the girls that really helped her this year was a girl named Brittney and she is a senior. It was her last event ever because she didn't qualify for state. She told Jess she really wanted a gold at conference. Jess said she didn't know if she had anything left but would try her best. They won gold and the fairy tale season continued.
Jess runs at state on Thursday. It should be perfect weather. She has a good shot of breaking her school record.
Drew has been working hard at baseball practice. He has a game tonight. I will get some pics to post of his game.

Manic Monday
It is going to be a busy week. Jess has her conference track meet today. It is about an hour away so I will leave work early. She is in the longjump so it is one of the first events. She is also in the last event, the 4x400, so it will be a long day.
Tomorrow Drew has a baseball game. It is away but doesn't start until 6:30. They are coming off a big win so this game is important. He is really enjoying baseball this year.
Thursday Jessica runs at the state track meet. She runs the 400 at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Friday Drew has another baseball game.
Saturday Jessica runs the Sprint Medley relay at State. I think that one is the morning sometime.
Friday night we are having the relay team and the coach over and I am making a pasta dinner for the team. Not sure what they want yet. It will either be lasagna or chicken alfredo. It will be a busy night because Drew has is baseball game.
Sunday Drew has a baseball game.
The weather is supposed to be good for all of the events. Jess may have some issues with the wind today. I think it is supposed to be gusty. The good news is that it blows for everyone.
I found out Saturday that Jessica broke the school record in the 400. The old record was 59.06 and she ran it in 59.00. 6 hundreth of a second but it is still a new record! I think she will beat that time at state. She is in the fast heat and currently ranked 6th in 3A. They give medals to the top 8. The Sprint Medley relay also broke the record. Jess is the anchor leg of that and the old record was 1:52.73 they ran it Friday in 1:52.17. Two events and two school records. I don't think the goose could have had a better weekend.
I found the camera and will post some pictures tomorrow.
Wish us luck!
