Finally Friday. The weather is still nice and going to continue for awhile.
I have a meeting this morning and we are talking about the staff cuts and the rest of the big budget mess. I know it will be depressing but at least I hope we are moving forward with things. Right now the district is kind of cracking up with gossip and back talking. Something needs to be decided and communicated with staff.
Jess has a scrimmage tomorrow in Ankeny so the basketball season is starting. Drew will have his first practice on Monday.
Since the weather is going to be pretty good this weekend I think I am going to clean the gutters and put up Christmas lights. I am not sure how many nice days there will be between now and Christmas so I should take advantage of it while I can. I won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving though.
Things have been rather quiet around here lately. Nothing much of note really going on.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.
Off to start.

Still hanging
The weather has been holding out pretty well. Still nice and pretty warm. In the 60's and I think it is going to be that way the rest of the week.
Jess started basketball practice this week and Drew has open gym. The boys don't start practice until next week.
The mood at work is still tense. I think the support staff is really nervous and beginning to fight with each other. It is on the verge of turning ugly and in some areas it is already that way. It would be good if better information was given to everyone but we are yet to hear it.
Class seems to be going well. It is nearing the end of the term. I have to teach 4 more nights on Wednesday and 4 more on Monday. It is getting close to the end. Although I am kind of glad when the term ends, I do kind of feel a bit of sadness that I won't see those students again. I have met a lot of people over the years through teaching and have had all kinds. It is sad as they leave for the last time.
Veterans day today. We have a big assembly and luncheon for the veterans and I think we have 120 that have already RSVP'd. It is a pretty big deal here.
Not much else on the agenda today. Mainly just holding down the fort and waiting for the hammer to fall on the budget. We can't spend any money so things are slowing down. The end of the trimester is the 18th so report cards and all of the reports we have to do will keep us busy.
It is amazing to me that we are almost to Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner. I am dreading the snow coming.
Ok, off to start
