Maybe a little sunshine and in the 30's today. Not too bad.
Drew had a game last night. They lost but only by 9 points. Last time they got blown out and lost by 50 so it was a good performance by the boys. Drew scored 2 points but did a nice job getting rebounds and playing defense.
Tonight Jess has a home game against Carroll. They are ranked but we should match up ok. If we play well, I think we can win.
The UNI head track coach came to Jess' basketball game the other night. We didn't know he was there. He wrote Jess an email and said he hasn't ever written a recruit who had already made a decision but he thinks she is the "real deal" and honestly can be number 1 in the nation. He said she was an exceptional athlete and really wants to talk to her again.
She is committed to Iowa State so it is a done deal but I know this is hard on her.
Both kids and I got the H1N1 vaccination on Wednesday. Drew got the shot and Jess and I got the nasal mist. Drew has ashma so he couldn't get the mist. He really doesn't care about getting shots so it wasn't a big deal. I hope it keeps them both healthy this Spring.
Off to start.

I will earn my money this semester
Weather continues to be nice, well in the 30's but comparatively from what we have been experiencing, 30's are nice.
Class went well last night. I have 24 people in class and that is a big group. I was a bit worried when two of the students, didn't know how to press crtl-alt-del to logon. It may be a slow moving group.
Drew has a game tonight here in Perry. It is against Carroll and they beat us by 50 last time so it might be an ugly night.
Jess was selected to play in the Iowa Coaches Association, High School All-Star game for basketball. She is one of 30 players in the state selected to play. It is April 10, a Saturday, in Cedar Rapids. It should be very cool.
It is good to have classes done for the week and to be on the downhill slide for the week. Right now I don't have big plans for the weekend but Drew and I are going to go get our hair cut on Saturday.
Trash day so the ladies will be out in their sun dresses and bonnets.

Honestly, how many people have a screw lose?
Weather is getting better. I think it might get above 32 today.
The department of education is doing a site visit with our school this week. I was interviewed yesterday with a team of teachers. I am not a big fan of this type of thing but whatever.
Jess had a rough day yesterday. They won the basketball game but the coach yelled at the team and told them they had attitudes and he would kick people off the team, starting with the seniors if they didn't straighten up.
The guy is an ass and I think a bit unstable but whatever. There is a reason only 14 girls go out for basketball in a school with 250 girls in it. He needs to retire.
Also, we had a message on the answering machine that the dental office that Jess works for (she cleans it on Sundays) is going to have their dental assistant clean the office on Friday before she goes home. That means Jess lost her job.
Drew has had morning practices and he is getting kind of sick of getting up at 5:30 every morning. They won their first game Monday so that was good but that may be the highlight of the season.
I teach tonight and have 21 people in class. That is the largest class I have had so it should be interesting. I am thinking we will have to take more time covering material with that many people.
I have been a bit grumpy this week. Not really sure why but maybe it is just getting back into the swing of things after the break. I have a lingering feeling of discontent. I sure it will pass but I hope is passes sooner than later.
Ok, enough for now.
