The olympics start tonight

It seems that I have made it to Friday. The weather is still bad but I have not idea what the forecast is. I have boycotted the weather. It has only been bad news and I don't need that in my life. I just decided to let is surprise me.

The basketball team lost last night. I think Jess had 18 points but I am not sure. They other team covered her up in the first half. I think she only touched the ball once in the first quarter and never got a shot off. They had a chance to win but the guards made bad decisions at the end. Of the last 9 shots, 8 of them were three pointers and we only hit one.

It was senior night last night and tonight she plays in her last regular season game. They play in Carroll tonight. Another season is winding down.

Drew hasn't had a game in awhile. His next game is Monday night.

Yesterday was trash day and I forgot to take it out. I hate it when that happens.

No plans for the weekend. It will probably snow anyway.

Off to start.

When is the next meteor shower?

Still cold and we are supposed to get another 10 inches of snow this weekend. WTF

Tuesday we had a late start and then an early release. At the same time the district has decided to add 30 minutes to every school day, starting in March, to make-up snow days.

Seems strange to me that we can add some time to the day to make-up day but constantly have late starts and early dismissals but that has no impact. I really don't care so much it is just an observation.

Class went well last night and I was even out at 9:20 so that was a good thing.

Tonight is Senior night for Jess and the basketball team. The last home game of the season so another sport is coming to an end for Jess. Each end is a little sad but time rolls on.

I am officially on Facebook. I setup an account, much to the chagrin of my kids. drew is by friend of Facebook but Jess declined. She said something about two world colliding. blah blah.

My tenants are moving out of the house. They are splitting up and going their seperate ways. They are moving out in March. Bad news for me so I need to try to find another tenant. I wich a meteor would hit that damn house.

Ok, off to start.

Lesson Learned

The weather is getting old. We went to school for about 3 hours yesterday and then they sent everyone home at 11. We are already on a late start today so we will see what happens.

I guess the wind is really causing some trouble out in the country. It is cold, wind chills -23.

So I woke up with a migraine at 3:00 am this morning. So I took sinus cold medicine and Excedrine Migraine. I think I over dose a bit because I have felt kind of light headed and feel like I could pass out with every step I take.

It is getting a little better but I think this feeling is only slightly better than the headache itself. I kind of knew that I was taking too much medicine at once but when your head hurts that bad, you would do anything to get it to stop.

Right now as I type, I feel a little light headed but it seems to be clearing up. Thank goodness.

Jess is supposed to have a game tonight here in Perry but it is going to depend on the weather and if schools are closing or not.

I have been up since 3 am and I imagine I will be tired tonight. At least I don't teach tonight. That would be bad.

OK, off to start.

Snow, Wind, Monday, Blah!

Monday and it is a repeat of so many weeks that we have had this winter. Snow yesterday, more snow today and blowing winds tomorrow. It looks like we are going to get another 5 to 7 inches of snow total with strong winds all day tomorrow.

Drew's team won on Thursday and lost on Saturday. He has been playing well. He doesn't score much but he really does a nice job on defense and makes good passes. They game was close on Saturday until he got his fourth foul. When he came out, the other team pulled ahead.

Jess' team won on Friday. She had a good game. She scored 27 points and played very well all around. She has games Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week. Thursday is senior night. The last home game for the goose.

I teach tonight and really hope it doesn't get canceled because of weather. It is truly getting ridiculous how much school we have missed because of weather.

I really need to exercise and lose weight. I am getting sluggish and I feel tired most of the time. It has been tough with this weather and the busy schedule to get motivated to do much but I need to figure a way to get a little exercise. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to take the dogs for walks but the snow and weather have been a bit prohibitive.

Ok, I need to get moving as Monday morning, like all other mornings, waits for no one.

Off to start.
