The end of the weekend and the weather is going to get hotter and hotter. I think it will be a good day to stay inside and watch some movies or get a little work done inside.
Jess has a volleyball tournament today in North Polk. It is an all day deal. They play practice matches this morning and then the tournament this afternoon.
Drew is camping and having a good time. He said he was fishing yesterday and tubing in the afternoon. He loves having a campfire by the lake. Drew is an outside type of person. He could be outside every minute of the day and be happy about it.
Jess, Micky and Dawn are headed down there tonight after the volleyball stuff gets done.
Both kids have official practice on Monday. The seasons begin again.
I have work to do of course. Will spend much of the weekend running up computers and getting ready for Monday. We have the new teachers back Monday and Tuesday. I have them on Tuesday morning for training.
Ok, off to start.

I with they had a keg at these kind of things
I have an all day meeting today. I'm not to thrilled about it either. We have to go to Des Moines and sit in mini training sessions to learn about the ins and outs of state reporting. woo-hoo!
Drew caught a fish yesterday and is having a good time. He went "tubing" and said it was really fun.
Jess took the day and relaxed. She was really sore from the volleyball tournament and will be back at it today and tomorrow so it was a good day to rest. She has a three hour practice today and they have to run a timed mile.
Tomorrow she plays in a volleyball tournament at North Polk.
Work has been constant and that is kind of good. We are keeping busy but much of the work is routine work and gets boring. Running up and configuring a computers isn't too bad until you do it 50 times in a row.
No plans for the weekend. A little work and some relaxation. I think it is going to be really hot and humid so I will try to be outside as little as possible.
Ok, time to take the trash out so the princesses can pick it up.

There are highs and then there are "feels like" temps..ugh
The weather is starting to behave more like summer. Hot and humid. It is going to be uncomfortable for the rest of the week.
Registration went well yesterday. It was a long day and started off a little rough. I scheduled 5 people to work the payment stations and two of them didn't show. They claim the didn't know but I talked to them about it at the end of the school year. I think they just forgot.
It worked out. I worked one of the payment stations and that made 4 people so we were good to go.
I am glad it is over and think it will probably be the last district registration. Next year they will go back to doing it in the buildings.
Jess is still at her volleyball camp. I think they had a match at 9:45 last night. I will try to get ahold of her today to see how things are going.
Drew is headed out to Missouri today to go camping with Gene and Marsha.
I have some specific things I want to get done at work today so I am guessing the day will go fast.
I better get ready.
Off to start.

Hopefully the last registration
It was a stormy night. We got some rain, not sure how much, and a bunch of thunder and lightning.
Drew was out on the river camping out with a couple of friends. One of the parents went out and got them when we found out the weather was going to be bad. Their bikes are still out there so I am hoping the made it through.
Jess left for a volleyball camp yesterday. They were going to the coaches house on a lake first. She has a house on lake Panorama and they were tubing and riding jet ski's. I texted Jess and she said she was having a blast. The camp is at Simpson, today and tomorrow.
It is registration day at the school. Nancy and I worked all weekend to get setup for it. It really is a lot of work. The hours are from 3 - 7 tonight so it will be a long day. I am not looking forward to it.
We are hoping to get enough people pre-register that we don't need to have a formal registration day anymore. I think this could be the last year for it.
Tomorrow Drew leaves for the week with Gene and Marsha to go camping in Missouri. They are going to a lake and Gene bought a new boat. Drew can't wait to go and they were planning on leaving on Wednesday but when they found out how excited Drew was, they moved it up a day and leave tomorrow.
Jess and Dawn will be heading down there Friday night. They all will come back on Sunday because Monday the official season starts for football and volleyball. Two a days...woo-hoo.
The one really good thing about this weekend was we had fresh tomatoes from the garden. We ate cheeseburgers for lunch with fresh tomato both days. It was something to look forward to.
It looks like a busy week ahead. The new teachers start in a week and then the ball really starts rolling. Back to wearing long pants. The care-free days of summer are almost behind us.
Ok, off to start. Wish me luck!
