There is always one, isn't there

Weather keeps on rolling. It is wonderful!

Class went well last night. I gave them their first test and I thought I had given them plenty of time to get it done and actually worried about class getting out too early. Well, there is always one isn't there. One student stayed until 10:00 on the nose to get the test done.

Overall, the class went well and I think they all did pretty well. We did a review before the test so they really don't have an excuse to not do well.

Most of the students were gone by 8:45. I had one stay until 9:45 and the one stay until ten. I guess I really don't care if they take the whole time it is just a long night and it is about a 40 minute drive home after so it makes it extra long.

Drew was sick again yesterday. He made it through the day but just felt like crap so he talked to the coaches and went home before practice. When I got home last night, he said he was feeling better.

Jess went to an Iowa State volleyball match last night. It was a team-unity event and she said it was fun. She has a match tonight here in Perry vs Des Moines North. We should win but I guess we will see.

Jess is ranked #1 in the state, for 3A in Kills and Serve percent. She also has the best kill percentage in the state for all classes. She is right over 50%. I think it is .504

Trash day so the ladies will be out. I better get my stuff to the curb so they don't have to walk very far in their high heels.

Off to start.

I used to love watching TV at night

Weather is still good and it looks like it will stay nice until Monday. We are supposed to get rain and storms then. We probably need the rain.

Drew came home sick yesterday. I think he has bad cold. Sore throat, upset stomach and he was really tired. I think he needed to rest and seemed a little better last night.

The volleyball team won their match last night. They beat Ballard in three straight sets. Jess played really well. I am not sure how many kills she had but it was a bunch. The only bright side Ballard had was in the third game, someone finally blocked one of Jess' kills. Their stands jumped up and cheered. It was funny.

The head coach for Ballard is our Superintendent's daughter. I am sure she had mixed emotions sitting in the stands.

Our little puppy Mylee, is sick. I think she has a intestinal virus. Her sister had it and I think they got it from the place we bought the puppy. I need to get her to the vet so she can get on antibiotics. Her sister is much better so I am hoping we get her well too.

Tonight, I teach in Des Moines. They take their first test tonight, I hope they do well.

Tomorrow, Jess has a volleyball match here in Perry. Friday, off to Carroll to watch Drew play football.

Off to start my day

Nose to the grindstone

Monday is behind me and that is a good thing. The weather is still going strong. I feel like the other shoe has to be waiting to fall. I can't remember a time that we have had so many consecutive nice days. We will probably pay for it this winter.

Class went well last night. We got out early so that was good. Since we formatted the lab, everything ran much better.

Both kids had their annual physical yesterday. They got the flu shot. Well, Drew got the shot, Jess got the one they spray up your nose. Drew couldn't get that one because he has asthma.

Tonight we go to Ballard to play volleyball. We should win pretty easy. Ballard isn't very good.

We are puppy sitting Gene and Marsha's dog for a couple of days. It is Mylee's sister. They play and play and fight and wrestle and carry on. It is very funny to watch but it is also very time consuming. Having to watch one puppy is tough, two is a full time job. You never know what they are into or what they are going to be chewing on next.

Jess said having the dogs in the house reminds her of Grandma Nichols' house. lol

Ok, off to start.

Monday - Ugh!

Monday and the weather is still nice. I am not sure what the deal is but I am not complaining.

Busy day today at work and I teach class tonight.

The weekend was ok. The boys got beat by Boone in football but it was very close. We were on the 1 yard line with 2 seconds left and it was fourth down. We got stuffed at the one and the game ended with Boone winning by 7.

This week will be another busy one. I teach tonight. Tomorrow, Jess has a volleyball match at Ballard (Huxley). Wednesday I teach. Thursday, volleyball here and Friday, Drew has football in Carrol.

I think the weather is going to be nice the whole week so that is good.

We are puppy sitting Mylee's sister, Sidney. We have two little puppies running around. It is pretty cute.

Ok, off to start.
