It is going to be a warm day today. It may be the first time in the month of July that we hit 90 degrees. If we don't quite make it, it will be a record.
Molly gets her shots today. She has an appointment at 9:30. Nancy is getting the convertible out and we are taking the kids to Des Moines for a little lunch. I think I will get a haircut while we are out. I need one really bad.
This weekend Jess has a basketball tournament in Des Moines. I am pretty sure that is all we have going on. I want to take the kids to Harry Potter tonight, we have done it together from the very first movie,but we will see how everyone feels. Drew really wants to go.
Ok, off to start.

I don't think that is body paint
It is going to be nice today. We had rain most of the day yesterday but it cleared up last night. Today seems to be good and is supposed to be good all day.
Yesterday was a good day at work. I got some much needed work done and have a good focus on what I want to accomplish the rest of the week. I am hoping today is good as well.
Jess had a volleyball camp yesterday. Last night she was tired and grouchy. I saw her until dinner and then she spent the rest of the night downstairs in her room watching tv.
Drew spent yesterday at a friends house helping him paint his room. He was a mess when he got home. He had paint all over him and all over his clothes. At least he didn't wear anything nice. I can't imagine what the room looked like. They painted one of their friends. Literally, painted him without his shirt on so he was completely blue.
I am surprised I didn't get a call from an angry parent last night. Drew said he wanted to be painted and he talked them into doing it. He also said the kids mom new about it and just made them spray it off him. What the hell are they thinking.
Today Jess has more volleyball camp. If she is anything like yesterday I will stay clear of her tonight.
This weekend she has her last basketball tournament of the summer. It is in Des Moines and it is both Saturday and Sunday.
Ok off to start.

Still Summer - Whoo-hoo
It looks like it might be a little rainy today. The sky is full of clouds and there is a cool breeze.
Jess had volleyball camp with Iowa State today. It is in Perry so at least they don't have to travel.
Drew has weight lifting and basketball today.
I am enjoying it being summer in the office. The calls have been coming in but not that bad and the work we have is not frantic it is just a nice constant pace. It helps with my stress level.
RAGBRAI is going on this week and it is running through the southern part of the state this year. I am glad it isn't anywhere near here. It is a real hassle with traffic and they are messy.
No meetings planned for this week. I have a vendor coming in on Thursday but other than that my calendar is open. I do have a lot of work to do but it looks like I will truly have a chance to get it done in the next couple weeks.
I found out yesterday that a girl in Drew's class is pregnant. What a shame that is. She isn't even in high school yet and pregnant. I had a little talk with Drew about it last night. He was shocked. He knows her but it isn't one of the kids that he hangs around with.
Like is kind of like a game of Russian roulette. You just never know.

This Monday doesn't seem so bad...What gives?
The weekend kind of flew by. The weather is still good. I am not sure what the deal is but it has been really nice lately. I keep thinking the other shoe is about to drop.
We visited Iowa State on Friday. It was an eye opening experience. They have really nice facilities and are building a new outdoor track stadium and it should be up and running in a couple years.
The coach was really nice and provided us with a lot of information. He said they want Jess to run track at Iowa State and wants her to come up for an "official" visit in early fall and then they will offer a scholarship.
They have an academic center devoted to student athletes and she would have a world of resources at her fingertips. The one thing he said that I liked. He said "If you come to Iowa State, I can guarantee you two things. You will get a degree and you will get faster."
We will be able to take 5 official visits this fall.
Jess played in a basketball tournament in Creston Saturday. They won 2 and lost 1. She lead the team in scoring all games. She scored 20, 16 and 12 points. The last game they lost to a team that really was throwing elbows and fouling hard. Jess got a fat lip and a sore jaw. One of the girls on the team got elbowed in the throat and in the back of the neck. I am not sure I have seen a game with more girls crying in it. We ended up losing 31-20. Jess scored 12 of the 20.
Drew hung out at home this weekend. He has been practicing football, basketball and lifting weights. He kind of hung out around the house Saturday playing playstation and then Sunday was out and about with his friends most of the day.
I am not sure what the week ahead will bring but I am sure whatever it is, I could not have predicted it.
I need to call and get an appointment for Molly at the vet. It is time for her shots.
Ok, off to start the week.
