Rainy cold and generally unpleasant. I think it is going to be very chilly for the foreseeable future.
The volleyball team lost last night 3-2. It was a tough loss, they came out strong and won the first two games with little trouble. The third game the lost 27-25 and then the last two we fell apart and got pounded.
Jess played well but they need someone else to step up when she is in the back row. We can't block or effectively kill when she isn't in the front row. We have potential but I just don't think we have enough talent to consistently compete with the good teams. Jess can't do it alone.
On the bright side she has 211 kills on the season. Her kill efficiency is 45% and she is averaging 4.8 kills a game. Her serve percentage is .998 and she has 34 solo blocks this year.
We found out Drew is severely constipated (I know, nice to put on a blog for the world to see...Sorry Drew). The xray showed it and they are putting him on a stool softener so hopefully this will fix his stomach problems.
He has a game tonight here in Perry. It should be crappy weather.
Tomorrow we have a volleyball tournament in Des Moines. It starts at 8:30 and ends around 4. I will have to take my radio so I can listen to the football games. The huskers have a bye so I won't miss them.
Next week is homecoming week.
Ok, off to start.

Can I make it through a day without someone ticking me off?
The weather is rainy and cold. It is going to stay this way through tomorrow. I guess I really can't complain since the weather was so nice for so long. You know what? I can complain anyway....I hate rainy weather!
The volleyball match on Tuesday was a bust. We got hammered in three and although the scores ended up close, Carroll never had to worry bout losing. We played poorly and just weren't up to the challenge.
Last night class went pretty well. One of the ladies in my class, she is in her 60's or 70's, got a little testy at the end of the night. One of the other students was talking to me and she flipped out and said "It is very hard to concentrate with people talking!". Whoa! They were just doing in class work so it wasn't like a test or anything. I think she is just grouchy to begin with and struggling to keep up. It kind of irritated me but whatever.
As I was driving home from class I was treated to a kick ass lightning show. To the north the lightning was just cracking across the sky and it was happening a lot. It was very cool to see.
Drew has been sick. He has a stomach issue. We took him to the doctor yesterday. He has a real bad upset stomach but other than that feels ok. He says it is better when he lays down. They took xrays and need a stool sample (gross). It is probably acid relux but they need to check the other things first. He supposed to take Pepsid twice a day for awhile. He hasn't eaten much in the last couple of days.
Tonight Jess has a volleyball match here in Perry verses Dallas Center Grimes. They are undefeated in the conference but we beat them early in the season at a tournament. I guess it will depend on which Perry team shows up tonight.
Trash day - the ladies are going to get wet.

I still miss Mylee
Cool weather but sunny so I guess it is ok.
Class went well last night. It was test night so they just came in, took the test and were done.
Drew had a football game last night and caught a pass for a first down. They lost 42-21 but he had a catch and played well.
Jess had under-classmen awards last night. She received the Student of the Year in Weight Lifting and Conditioning, was selected for Kawainis Key and got her Academic and Athletic letters.
Tonight we are off to Carroll for a volleyball match. Carroll is ranked so it should be a good match. I think we can win but they will have to set Jess a lot. If not, we will get beat.
Not much else. Off to start.

Sometimes I ramble
A bit wet today and the temps are going to be cool this week. All highs are below 70 for the next 7 days.
It will be a pretty busy week this week. Today, I teach class, Jess has underclass awards (plus she has to come and take a test in my class when she is done with the awards thing) and Drew has a football game at Ballard.
Tomorrow Jess has a volleyball match at Carroll. Wednesday I teach, Thursday volleyball here in Perry, Friday football here in Perry, and Saturday a volleyball tournament in Des Moines.
Work has been busy and it is going to be busy again this week. I haven't scheduled any meetings because I don't think I will have any time for them.
Last night I watched two movies while grading papers. Borat (Sucked, don't watch it), and Wanted (Angelina Jolee) pretty good, probably 3 out of 5 stars on the Rich-ter Scale.
