Fat Tuesday?........Hell, I was fat Monday!

The weather is going to be poor over the next 36 hours. I think we are supposed to get a bunch of snow but we are kind of on a the boarder between the area that is suppose to get a bunch and the area that is supposed to just get a little. I guess time will tell.

Here is the bad part. Jess and Drew both have games today. Jess also has a volleyball tournament in Des Moines on Saturday. The basketball coach told the girls last night that if the game get cancelled today, they will play it on SATURDAY!!! What are the freaking odds? For Drew this is the last game of the year so if it gets cancelled the season is over.

There is one bright side for Drew. The coach entered the team in a tournament this weekend so he will get to play in that. Even if his game is cancelled he will still get to play a few more games.

There was a bit of drama with the basketball team yesterday. Jess was telling me last night that the JV coach got fired yesterday. It is a long story but basically a player can only play so many games in a year, this is a state rule. Anyway, if they play 2 quarters or less in a day, that doesn't count as a game. This is how they can let Jess and a couple other varsity players play JV. Anyway, the JV coach, which I think they have had trouble with before, played two of the varsity girls extra quarters of JV and now they only have one game of eligibility left on the season. With the limited number of players, the varsity coach blew a gasket and told the jv coach that he was not longer part of the team.

They have cancelled the rest of the JV games for the year and have to get through the rest of the season. Jess was not one of the players that is close to the game limit so it doesn't really impact her except she may not get any rest in the upcoming games.

I taught class last night and it went well. The students had to take two quizzes and they were not thrilled, but they paid attention and everyone seemed to be in pretty good humor. Jess stoppped by during class for a visit. She was watching the boys JV game and came in after the game. I think it was the first time that some of the students put it together that we were related.

Four hours of class is a long time! It makes getting up at 5 a little more difficult.

I guess I should get ready to face the snowy day ahead.
