and the band played on

A typical Monday. Weather is marginal and so is my attitude.

Drew starts official basketball practice this week and Jess has a game on Tuesday.

We found out yesterday that Jess was selected 1st team All-State for volleyball. It is a big deal especially since her team wasn't very good. Only 6 girls in the state for our class were selected and she was one of them. Pretty good honor for her.

We had a budget meeting on Friday and it was rather vague. I am not sure if there is a bit of indifferent or what but it seems like no decisions are being made. Anyway, it looks like we will make it through this year without cutting positions but the hatchet will fall for next year.

The office is still kind of quiet with all the budget cut talk. We have seen an increase in technology purchases from categorical funding. Which basically means, funds that cannot be used for salaries and are required to be spent by a certain day. We keep seeing more technology being purchase and at the same time we are losing a staff member to help support technology.

Ok, off to start my day.
