Still waiting but getting closer

Finally Friday and it is still cold. I think we are going to have our warmest day of the week though. Today we have a high of 30. Woo-Hooo!!

Drew's team lost last night but he played a good game. He had a bunch of rebounds, played good defense and scored 8 points. It was a game they should have won but the guards gave it away in the last quarter. They are still looking for their first win.

Jess plays tonight and tomorrow. Both the ISU and UNI coaches called her last night. We are going to get the offer from ISU on Sunday. He said she would be pleasantly suprised by the offer so I guess we will have to wait and see.

The UNI coach told her he didn't want to lose her over money so even though the offer they gave her was great for an incoming freshman, if we had concerns he wouldn't lose her over a few thousand dollars and would make it work.

So it seemed to be pretty good news on both fronts so we will get the offer from ISU and then have to decide where she goes.

Not much else going on. I submitted final grades for my class yesterday so I am officially done teaching for the semester.....Woo-Hoo!

Ok, off to start.

Is Prozac an appropriate Christmas gift?

Still cold as can be. I think the temp right now it -5 but once it hits zero, it is just dang cold.

Jess had a game in Winterset last night. They won and she scored a career high 28 points. It was actually pretty amazing because she only had 1 point after the first quarter. She is averaging 18 points a game and leading the conference in scoring.

Drew has had practice in the morning this weeks so he has been up at 5:30 and at the gym by 6. He has mixed emotions about it. He hates getting up and going early but he is happy at the end of the school day when he doesn't have practice.

Middle of the week with no plans for tonight. Jess has National Honor Society tonight. They are announcing the new members and she is welcoming them in. I think she is at the table that they sign as a member.

A bit more drama at school. The contracts are a bit fuzzy with the union seniority so I am now unsure which one of my tech support people will be cut. I worked with the superintendent yesterday and I think it will have to be determined by our attorney. So I wait to see who is the one getting cut.

I also had a teacher in yesterday and she was worried about her job and wanted to know if we knew anything. The whole district is on pins and needles now. Merry Christmas right?

Ok, off to start.

Wind and snow with a bit of ice...blah!

Well, we had a layer of ice and a couple inches of snow yesterday. The wind was blowing and it was a bit of a mess. We started off with a two hour late start but it turned into a school cancellation.

The weekend was fine. I went shopping on Saturday and finished my Christmas list. Drew had a game and so did Jess. They were staggered enough that we could go to both. Drew scored 7 and Jess scored 14. Drew's team lost and Jess' team won.

The Iowa State track coach came to Jess basketball game. We talked about scheduling the home visit so we could get the scholarship offer. I told him I want to do it before Christmas if possible.

Jess has a game tonight at Winterset.

Christmas is coming up quickly and I really am looking forward to it.

Not much else going on.

Off to start.
