The lying weather people said it was going to stop raining and get sunny this morning. They lied! It is going to be rainy again but we are supposed to "be clearing up and sunny tomorrow". The bastards. I would rather have them error on the side of bad weather. Tell me it is going to be rainy and then if it sunny, cool! But to tell me it is going to be nice and then it really is crappy......mood killer!
The girls lost their last home volleyball match of the year. They played a pretty good Nevada team and won one game. They played pretty well we just don't have the talent they do. Volleyball is probably more predictable than any other sport. More than any sport, the better team wins in volleyball. Every once in awhile you have an upset but it is not as often as other sports.
It was senior night, we have 5 on the team. They were all crying and carrying on. It is always a bit sad when their time in the uniform is almost over. Jess said she will cry next year.
Drew worked the concession stand and learned how to count change back. He said it was easy and he like working. He is good with math so counting change is pretty simple and he is a smart kid so I would trust him if I was running it.
I am looking forward to the weekend for one simple reason. I WANT A NAP! As sad as it is, that is my goal this weekend. To take a nap one of the afternoons.
I guess you have to hang on to the little pleasures in life to make it through.
Off to start the day!

More young he-men are eating rare tenderloin
Weather is terrible. Cold and rainy. I hear Nebraska is getting some snow. That would be really bad.
Senior night for the volleyball team. Last home game.
Drew has joined TSA, it is a industrial technology program that starts at the middle school and is pretty big at the high school. They do a bunch of technical school type stuff. Auto mechanics, Computer Aided Drafting, and a lot of other stuff. It is a club type thing. I think he is working in the concession stand tonight for the volleyball game as part of the club fund raising effort.
So I accepted the weekend teaching job for next spring. I decided it would be a good experience and I really don't miss any of the kids events during that month. I am sure I will be complaining come March but I get what I get.
I really don't have any plans for the weekend but I do need to get a haircut. I might try to go Friday during lunch but it will depend on the weather. I also can vote right now if I want. The county auditors office is open for voting from now until November 3rd so if I go out, I might stop off and vote.
Trash day so the ladies will be out in their heels and such. I hope they have waterproof mascara or they might have to pass another ordinance.
Off to start.

Things that make you go....hmmmm
Class went well last night. It is going pretty fast. I only have 6 more classes in each of the classes left to teach. Amazingly enough December will be here before we know it and I am done with one class December 2, and the other December 8. This year really seems to be moving along.
I was contacted by my boss at DMACC and he asked me if I wanted to teach another class in the spring. I am already teaching Monday night and Wednesday night but he offered me a third class that goes Friday night and Saturday. It only goes 5 weeks but is Friday from 5-9 and Saturday from 9-2:30.
The money sure is tempting but dang that is a bunch of teaching and a bunch of hours to put in. I am not big on the Friday night class. Saturday wouldn't be that big of a deal. The other issue is the class is at West campus so I would drive Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I could really use the money but I need to think this one over a bit. I also need to check the sports schedule and see what it might interfere with. Kill myself for 5 weeks....I wonder if it is would be worth it.
The volleyball team won last night. They played a poor team so it was an easy victory. I don't feel bad about missing this one. It was about an hour drive and it was over in three quick games.
Nancy is off today. She has to go to Boone and take care of her dad for the day. Her mom is in the hospital and her sisters and her are taking turns taking care of her dad. It has been a very stressful and difficult time for her.
Early morning meeting today and then class to teach tonight.

I can see November over the horizen...It isn't pretty.
Busy day ahead. The weather is going to be ok today but cold and rainy most of the week. I hate wet weather in the Fall. It would be nice to be able to burn leaves.
Jess has a game tonight and it is away. She has Senior night on Thursday.
The first part of my week is loaded with meetings and work. I have a full day today and tomorrow. I teach class tonight and tomorrow night. I am hoping the end of the week is slow.
Nancy supervises a lab this week. They teach DMACC classes at the school for a small group. They asked me to teach it but I just couldn't fit it in. They will bring in an instructor from Ankeny and Nancy will just supervise in case they have trouble. I think she has class this Tuesday night and next Tuesday night.
Not a big fan on Monday but the sooner it gets started, the sooner it is behind me.
