Friday is a wonderful day. It is going to be cold as can be but I don't even care.
Drew played well in his game last night. He played pretty god defense and got some rebounds. The team lost by 5 but it was a good game.
Jess is headed to the University of Northern Iowa today for an official visit for track. She will be there today and tomorrow morning.
The basketball team has moved practice tomorrow to the afternoon so she can be there.
I have been shopping online for Christmas gifts. I am doing pretty well right now. I have gotten a lot done so I am a bit ahead of the game.
Going to put the Christmas tree up tomorrow. My back was out last weekend so I couldn't put it up then. Drew will help.
Not much else. Still budget worries at school but that is just becoming part of the daily stress.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Christmas.

Poop
The weather is taking a turn for the worse. It is going to be cold today and by the end of the week it will be very cold. Highs in the 20's.
Drew's team lost last night but he scored 6 points and played well. Jess' team won and she scored 18. Jess leads the conference in points per game right now. She is averaging 19 points a game.
My back is feeling better. I am not 100% yet but I am a heck of a lot better than I had been the last few days.
I teach tonight in Des Moines. I only have two more sessions this term. Tonight we are doing a little test prep. Next week is the final.
I am up this morning at 4:30. Not a big fan of this time of the morning but had some stomach problems and can't lay in bed. Augh..life.
Ok, off to start.

Have you seen the new Barbie...C'mon!
I think the weather is going to be good again today. In the mid 50's so that is good.
Drew has a basketball game in Atlantic. It is a long trip for them.
Jess plays Boone here in Perry tonight. The first home game of the year.
My back is slowly getting better. I was able to sleep through the night last night with only three or four painful moments.
Class went well last night and we are winding down the semester. I already have 8 people signed up for Monday and 9 signed up for Wednesday next term.
The budget cut gloom is still looming over the district. Our Superintendent is keeping pretty tight lipped about the big plans but the staff is getting restless. The break over Thanksgiving gave us a little boost but I think the gloom and uneasiness is starting to come back.
I think the longer she waits to make the plans known, the more people complain about her.
Today is the day that anyone wanting to take the early retirement option can file paperwork with the district to do it. It will be interesting to see how many people take advantage of this. It may be one of the things she is waiting for before making the projected cuts public.
It is amazing to me that it is only a few weeks before Christmas. Time sure flies. Speaking of which, I need to get.

It seems like a blur
The weather is going to be nice again today so it is a good way to start a Monday.
Thanksgiving was pretty good. I hurt my back messing around with the dogs and can barely get around. I have been laid up for about three days now. It will be interesting to see how the day goes. I hope I don't have to go anywhere.
Jess had a few games last week. They won one and lost two. She scored 20, 19 and 17 in the games. Unfortunately, she is the only one that can consistently score. The other problem is the other girls are throwing up bad shots to try to score and it kills the team. If they don't right the ship, it will be a long season.
Drew has his first game on Tuesday. I look forward to watching him play.
Jess went to Nancy's house yesterday for their annual baking day. They made all kinds of good things and I just love everything. All kinds of chocolates, cookies, fudge, rice crispy bars, carmel corn, chex mix. It is awesome!
I am not sure what is on the agenda for the week. I really don't feel much like getting back to work but it is probably best to get back into a routine. I have had a lot of trouble sleeping with my back hurting so much.
