More rain and cold weather. It looks to be a trend for the next week or so. ugh!
Class went well last night. I find the drive home after class, kind of relaxing. It is quiet and the sky has the stars and the moon. If it wasn't late and the middle of the week, I think I would enjoy it a little more.
I don't have any meetings the rest of the week. We have to get the state report ready to go but we should have that done today. (Hopefully).
Homecoming week is a busy one for the kids so they are preoccupied with the activities of thew day. Tonight is the bon-fire pep rally. Jess has a sore throat. I hope she doesn't get sick.
Drew's back is still sore but he practiced yesterday so that was good.
Huskers play on TV tonight. I may go over to Nancy's to watch the game. They have a high def reciever and get ESPN in high def so she invited me over to watch the game.
Ok, trash day, the little girls will need me to get my trash out.
Off to start.

From mediocre to poor
When the warmest day of the week has a high of 65, we are in for a cold week. Today it will be mostly sunny and a bit warmer. The rest of the week will be cold with a high of 45 on Saturday or Sunday. (I kind of miss having the fireplace)
The volleyball match was bad. The girls lost in three straight and we played terrible. Jess didn't have a good night either. I am not sure what the deal was. We did have a couple coaches from South East Minnesota State come to the match to watch Jess.
They have a scholarship offer for her but want to look at film, come to another match and have Jess take a visit. They are a D2 school and ranked 13th in the nation. They seemed nice but I am not sure if Jess is interested. They just kind of came out of the blue and wanted to talk to us last night after the game.
It is homecoming week and today is volunteer day. The high school students are put in groups and spend the whole day doing community service stuff. It is a good thing and I think the kids like it.
Oh, Jess broke two school records last week. She has the most kills in a game with 12 and most Ace serves in a game with 6. She is on pace to break about 5 or 6 more school records but we will see how the rest of the season goes.
Drew had a girl ask him to homecoming yesterday and he turned her down. I asked him what the deal was and he said that girl thinks she is better then everyone and is stuck up. Whatever!

Is it Friday yet?
Cold rain..repeat.
Jess was not homecoming queen. She looked really nice at the announcement ceremony and it was nice. The girl that won is one of those girls that lives for stuff like that. Her mom works in the office and lives and dies for cheerleading and homecoming and prom. They kind of remind me of that mother and daughter in the Jonny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This will be the high point of her and her mother's life.
Jess really wasn't dissapointed. I don't think she cared so much but does not like the girl that one.
Drew's team lost their football game last night. He came home very stiff and sore. He hurt his back a little during a tackle. I put an Icy-Hot patch on his back and gave him some Ibuprofen and told him to be prepared to be stiff and sore today.
Class went well last night. It was short so everyone could go to the coronation.
Tonight we have a volleyball match here in Perry against Winterset. It is breast cancer awareness so the girls will wear pink jersey and they play with a pink and white ball. The fans are encouraged to wear pink and they have a cancer survivor speak before the match.
Not much else.

I think Monday is giving me the finger!
Weather back to sucking. Wet and cold.
The weekend went fast. Friday night the boys got beat 49-6. The Freshman game got moved to tonight because of the wet conditions. Drew will play at DCG at 6:30.
The volleyball team didn't do that well in the tournament. They ended up 5th out of 8 teams. They struggle when Jess is in the back row. They just don't have an offense when she isn't hitting.
This week is homecoming week. A full week of activities. Today is Cape day (The theme is Friday is meant for Heroes).
Jess was selected for the top 5 for homecoming. They will announce the King and Queen tonight. She has a good chance of winning but if she doesn't, I don't think she will care. Her boyfriend is also a King candidate.
Both Jess and Drew will be at the homecoming dance this year. It is kind of weird having both of them in high school.
Work is the same.
