The wind is going to be crazy today. The lying weather person said it is supposed to be constant 25 mile an hour wind with gusts up to 45 MPH. I hope my hair doesn't blow off today....it is only hanging on by a thread as is.
It is the last day of school for most of the district. Jess is done already. She finished her last final yesterday and going into finals had all A's. Her goal was a 4.0 this Trimester so we will have to see how the finals went.
Drew has his last day today but is done at 11:00 so it is a short day. He has mostly A's and a couple of B's. He should be honor roll again this trimester.
Both kids have games tonight. Jessica has an away game and Drew has one here in town.
18 days until I leave for California. It seems to be rushing up fast and I have a bunch of work to get done before I go. It should be a fun trip but it make June kind of push as far as work goes.
Little Molly has been on a terror lately. She is just playing and chewing on stuff, running around all crazy. She is a handful right now and is still having the occasional accident. I will be so glad when the potty training is done so I don't have to worry about that anymore.
It seems like Friday to me but it is only Wednesday. I think because of school getting out today and the relaxed atmosphere at school it kind of has an end of the week feel. I was thinking it was Friday all day yesterday too.
Here is a funny story for ya. At our elementary school the parents organization held a staff appreciation luncheon for everyone on Monday. Well.........the chicken was bad and it gave everyone who ate it screaming diareah!!!! The department of health came in and took stool samples (how funny is that) and everyone was on the hopper all day. I can honestly say the janitors earned their money cleaning the bathrooms yesterday. I can't help but laugh because it wasn't serious but it was seriously funny thinking of everyone running to the bathrooms during school yesterday. Can you imagine the smell of 50 people all having the screaming diareah????
Rapist still at large but I haven't heard of any more attacks. I hope they catch him soon.

Serious Spring/Summer Fever
The weather outside is great! The sun is shining with a few puffy clouds mixed into a vivid blue sky. Spring fever is upon me.
It has been such a busy spring that I have not had much of a chance to really think about warm weather fun but for some reason today it hit me. I feel like blowing off work and going to the lake. Not gonna happen but I sure feel like it.
Jess had a game last night. The Freshman team lost 18-0, her JV team lost 11-0 and the varsity lost 11-1, ten run rule ended that game.
Drew's team won 8-7. They are on a two game winning streak and I am glad for the boys. They are a great group of kids and it is nice to see them win some games.
I had to go to a school board meeting last night. They are discussing our salary increase for the year and it is always a mess. I hate this time of year because no one ends up happy. They ended up tabling the discussion for another meeting. Great! Prolong the agony! Anyway, I missed most of the games last night to be part of the madness.
The last day of school is tomorrow. Jessica has finals today and is done. She wont have to go to school tomorrow. Drew is going to the rec today and then they are having an outside picnic for lunch. They have great weather for it.
On the dark side of life. We have a rapist on the loose here in town. He has attacked three women, I think, and is still at large. He has targeted women walking or jogging and has broken into one home and sexually assulted a woman. It sure makes people uneasy here in town and I hope they catch him soon.
The odd thing about a situation like this is how you look at everyone suspiciously now. The guy is around 5'5 and is hispanic. That is a big part of our population so when you see a short hispanic guy walking down the street, it crosses your mind.....is it him?
Things like this are hard on a community. The weather is turning nice and people are afraid to be outside alone.
We keep our doors locked now.

Final Countdown
This is a Monday I am not too depressed about. There are only three days of school left and then the summer can officially begin. The weather is supposed to be good until after lunch and then it is going to be hit and miss as far as rain coming in.
The weekend went well. Drew's baseball team won their game, Jessica's team lost. The girls softball team had a weeked tournament with a bunch of 1A schools. We are 3A so we should have dominated. We ended up losing the championship to a 2A school. I am pretty sure we will have a poor season. There are a bunch of crazy stuff going on with the softball team and the coach has set them up to lose. I am not sure if I will even attend many games this year.
Molly is a little rascal. She is always running around, chewing on stuff and generally acting like a little toddler. She is a typical puppy, into everything and cute as a button.
I hope the first part of the week goes fast. I think it will. Most of the teachers have thier grades in already so these last three days are just cosmetic. Everyone is ready to get out. Jessi has finals today and tomorrow and then is done. She doesn't have to go on Wednesday at all.
Drew has a shortened schedule today and a talent show in the afternoon. He is not a participant. Tuesday his class is going to the rec center and Wednesday, they get out at 11.
Oh, Drew has a baseball game tonight. I am supposed to umpire (of course). I hope the weather holds up so we can get the game in.
My trip to California is less than three weeks away.

Light at then end of the tunnel Friday
Friday is finally here, the school year is almost over and those are both good things.
Golf went ok last night. I golfed like crap but had fun. The weather was great, the group I played with was a blast and the food was good so what is there to complain about (besides loosing a ball in the dang pond!).
Drew has a baseball game tonight. Jessi has a softball game tonight and it is supposed to rain. There has been so much rain here lately I have been tempted to check the neighborhood to see if anyone is building an arc.
We have had an disturbing event here in town. There is a guy on the loose that has entered a home and sexually assulted a woman and attacked another woman who was walking/jogging. They have put out alerts to everyone in town. I hope they catch they guy soon.
On the brighter side of things. Molly is doing well. She plays at night and sleeps most of the day. I have been bringing her to my office during the day and she has done great. She had two accidents the first day but nothing since. She sleeps and then I take her outside and she does her business and then back to rest. She is a cutie.
Nancy, Joyce and I are headed to Anaheim, California at the end of the month so I am starting to look forward to that trip. We have a week full of classes but should have plenty of time in the evenings to site see and relax.

Good Weather - "and that starts with G and that rhymes with Tee and that stands for Golf"
I think we are finally going to have some decent weather today. At least that is what the lying weather people say. It should be a good day for golf.
Other events today. Jessica has a softball game tonight, it is away. She also has a game tomorrow night and then a tournament this Saturday. I am sure she will do well.
Drew has a game tomorrow night. They have cancelled so many games and so many practices it is going to be the season that never ends. He is looking forward to the end of the season because I told him he could take guitar lessons after baseball season is over. It gives him something to look forward to.
I have posted all of my pictures on the web. You can take a look at them by clicking on this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/richjustrich/RichSStuff
Little Molly got her 12 week shots yesterday. She was a trooper and didn't even cry. She has to go back in a few weeks for her last booster. She also got her first bath last night. It did not go well. She is not a happy bath taker. She jumped and tried to run and shook and fought. Whew, it was a battle. I eventually won, with the help of the goose, and she is now a clean puppy. Shots and a bath all in one day you would think she would have been worn out but she was a little terror last night. Running around all wild and chewing on stuff and completely hyper. She finally settled down around 9 and went to sleep.
I hope you are able to enjoy the good weather today.

Is it Hump Day?
When I woke up this morning I thought, "Ahhh, Hump Day!", but is it really a hump day when we have a four day work week? hmmmm!
It has been very rainy here lately and it doesn't look like it is going to get any better over the next few days. It is supposed to rain today and then again on Friday. What a drag!
Last night it poured for about 20 minutes which was enough to cancel Drew's baseball game and shorten Jessica's softball practice. This has been a terribly wet spring.
I have some pictures of Molly. They should be to the left. She is currently sitting at my feet in the booth. She has been pretty good for a puppy. She goes to the bathroom outside very well but has an occasional accident inside. Most of it is her not knowing how to hold it yet. If she has to go, she just goes.
I leave for California at the end of June. It should be a good trip. We checked our class schedule yesterday and it looks like we got bumped from some of the classes we scheduled. We are going to look into getting enrolled in more classes today.
The end of the school year is getting close and I can't wait. A week from today and it is done! Jessica doesn't have to go the last day of school, they do finals Monday and Tuesday and she doesn't have any of Wednesday so she is done on Tuesday.
I start golf league this week. Well, league has been going for two weeks but Thusday will be my first night out. I need to go and check my cart to make sure it runs. I would hate to have to walk the first night out. Where would I put my beer?
Have a good day today!

Short Week
The end of the school year is winding down. We still have a bit to go but at least this is a short week. Drew has a game tonight. Both of the kids have games on Friday and Jess has a game on Thursday. I think there may be a tournament on Saturday.
We have a new puppy! Her name is Molly and she is a 12 week old miniature schnauzer. She is a cutie and I would post some pics of her but I can't find the stupid USB cable for the camera. UGH!
The weekend was good. I did a bunch of yard work and it was long overdue. It was graduation weekend so Jess had some parties to attend. I personally don't like that sort of thing but will have to endure the events when my kids graduate.
I have a couple of meetings today that I really do not want to attend. I am at the point that I just want to sit in my office and do my work without having to meet with anyone or see anyone except Nancy. She is good for me, she helps get me out of grouchy moods. Not that I am grouchy very often but ocassionally, it happens.
I am ready for the school year to be done!
