Still crappy weather.
Jess got a call from the University of Northern Iowa last night. They want her to run track and play volleyball. It is a D1 school so she is going to schedule a visit.
She also talked to the University of Minnesota. No scholarship available the first year so they are off the table.
Class went well last night. They took a test and it seemed to go well.
We had over 100 kids home with the flu from the middle school yesterday. The H1N1 flu is really spreading through the district. I have the kids on vitamin C and regular vitamins.
So it is my birthday. I really don't have any plans. Jess has a volleyball match at Carslisle. I hate that town for two reasons. For one, I am really not sure how to spell it and am just too damn lazy to look it up. Towns that are so hard to spell that you have to look it, suck to begin with. The second reason is that it is a pain in the ass to drive to. It is on the other side of Des Moines, on the South East side, which is the exact opposite of Perry.
I also hate their gym so strike three.
Anyway, my birthday begins with crappy weather, a trip to Carl#!%$!? and it is trash day.
Well at least I am still alive.
Off to start

Break out the vitamin C - Flu season is here!
More crappy weather. Cold-rainy. Last night we had sleet. It looks like it will finally warm up a bit this weekend but still in the mid 50's or low 60's.
Volleyball tournament went well last night. The girls won the tournament and Jess dominated. I have only seen her play that way a few times but it was pretty awesome. The other teams could not stop her from killing the ball and she was a blocking machine. It was a very good performance.
As they announced the team members and gave them their medals, they skipped Jess in the normal order and announced her last since she had such a good night. The crowd erupted when they announced her name.
I have a doctors appointment this morning and am not supposed to have anything to eat or drink for 12 hours prior. Not having coffee this morning is killing me.
Tonight I teach but I am giving them two tests and that is all I have planned so it should be a pretty easy night. Tomorrow of to Carlisle for a volleyball match.
K-State wants a volleyball video of Jess so we are sending that today.
We have had a bunch of cases of H1N1 at the school. We are over 10% absent rate this week. One of the kids Jess hung out with this weekend has it. I hope the kids don't get it and I sure as heck don't want it.

Disgruntled
Weather sucks! It is cold and wet and has been this way for awhile. It looks like maybe this weekend it will warm up a bit.
The governor of the state of Iowa has declared a 10% across the board cut. To our district we will have to cut almost $900,000 out of this years budget. It is going to be bad.
Class went well last night but I had a killer headache and it was tough to get through. Tonight Jess has a volleyball tournament here in Perry. Tomorrow night I teach, Thursday volleyball away.
Friday I take Jess up to Iowa State for her official visit. She will spend the rest of the weekend with the track team and going to the Iowa State football game. I will pick her back up on Sunday.
Friday night, Drew has a football game in Saydel. He only has two games left and this is the last away game.
Two weeks left of volleyball and we are done with it forever. I think Jess will be sad when it is over but she hasn't really said much about it yet.
Homecoming last Friday went well. Both kids went to the dance and I think had a good time. We had a fireworks show at half time of the game and it was pretty cool. The booster club and senior class paid for the show.
I had insomnia last night and have been up since 3. Whatever!
