I decided to sleep in!

Late volleyball games last night. My calf is still really sore and I decided to sleep in a bit.

Have a good weekend!

Not a big fan of Palin

We had a bit of rain overnight and just some sprinkles this morning. It is still cool but I like this kind of weather right now. It is nice.

Last night Drew came home in tears and he was holding his right hand. He got his hand caught between two helmets. His fingers were swollen and very tender. I had Dawn take him to the emergency room to see if they were broken but it turns out they are just really badly jammed and sore. He has to wear a splint on his hand for a couple of days but he should be fine.

Jess has a volleyball tournament tonight in Adel. It starts at 4:30 so I will have to leave work a bit early to go see it. She is frustrated with the season already and the coach is giving her trouble. The coach actually called Jess last night to talk to her because she was hard on her in practice and knew Jess was upset. She told her she is the core of the team and she needs her to lead the team.

I think it is a bit unfair to put the responsibility of winning on her shoulders. Anyway, I guess we will see how they do tonight.

I went on my run this morning and got a cramp in my right calf. I had to walk the last half of the route. I am not very happy about it but I know if I push it, I can really make it worse.

Today I have a meeting in the morning and the rest of the day I should be able to get work done in my office.

Trash day today...the ladies will be in all their glory!

Pizza is not on my diet menu but MAN does it sound good!

Middle of the week sounds pretty good to me. The weather is cool today. It was 54 when I went for my run. There was a bit of a breeze so it was kind of chilly. Drew got up and met me at the school and he lifted for about a half an hour. I rode the bike and did the stepper for a bit.

Class went pretty well last night. Four hours is a LONG time to teach or to sit in a classroom. It is especially long at night after a full day at work. We did get a lot of material covered and the class went well. I started with 11 in that class and now I am down to 8. It doesn't really matter to me how many students I have in class. It pays the same.

Today I have a training with the staff to conduct. I am teaching them web page design. It is something that I have been putting off but finally am getting done. We have a bunch of web pages on our site and they need to start updating their own pages. It will be good to have this training done but it is a hassle to prep and setup for it. It is the little things like this that get me behind on the technology things I need to do.

Jess' team got their butts kicked in the volleyball tournament last night. I think it boils down to them having a very poor coach. She isn't cut out for coaching and just does a poor job. Of all the coaches in our district she is by far the worst.

Drew has his first football game on Tuesday of next week. I think it is here in Perry so I should be able to see it.

Off to start.

You can call it Tuesday if you want but it still sucks!

Even though it is Tuesday it feels like a Monday. If was fun going back home but 4 hours on the road Sunday and then 4 more hours on the road Monday seemed to wear me out.

Drew has been wanting to lift weights in the morning so after my run I had him meet me at the school and I he got a little lifting in. I hopped on the bike and the eliptical machine while he lifted.

Started my morning at 3:30 am today. Not sure what the deal is with that but I took a little nap yesterday so I think I got plenty of sleep.

Today I have a meeting in the morning and then I teach class in Des Moines tonight. I will be glad when this day is behind me.

The weather is going to be good today. I think we are supposed to get some rain later this week. Maybe even tomorrow.

Jess has her first volleyball match of the year tonight in Dallas Center. I am going to miss it because I am teaching class. I really hate missing her games.

I think I am going to miss a bunch of games this year because of this Tuesday class. She has most of her games on Tuesday or Thursday and a few tournaments on the weekends. Drew's football games are also on Tuesday. If I would have known this I probably wouldn't have accepted the Tuesday night class.

Ok, off to start the day.
