Friday starts with a yawn

Friday and another day without snow. I think it might be a trend. 3 days without snow. Woo-hoo!

Jess had his last basketball game last night. They lost but they played a little better. The game was in Newton which is a little over an hour away. I got home close to 10:00 so I am a little tired this morning.

Nothing on the agenda for tonight. Tomorrow we travel to Rockwell City for Jess' second round regional basketball game. I think it is about 90 miles away so another long trip.

Nancy left for Las Vegas yesterday. They are spending a long weekend there and she texted me and said the weather is good.

I have a list of things to take care of at work today but I am hoping the phone doesn't ring much.

Drew is signed up to play golf this Spring and Track is also just around the corner. I think Drew will like golf. I am sure by the end of the high school season, he will be able to kick my butt. It will be fun to golf with him this summer.

He is going to use my clubs this year but if he enjoys it and is planning on going out again, I will get him his own clubs.

Ok, better get.

Can you get Olympic fever for the Winter games?

A little sun and no snow today! Woo-hoo.

The girls won last night so we move on to round two on Saturday. Jess had 16 points and the team played pretty well towards the end. We had a couple girls step up and make some shots when they were double and triple teaming Jess. It was a good win.

Nancy heads out to Las Vegas today. Nancy and her husband and another couple are going flying out today and spending a long weekend in the sun. It should be fun for them.

I will be holding down the fort at work but it hasn't been too hectic so it should be fine.

Drew has his last game of the season tonight. It is in Newton which is a little over an hour away so a long trip.

It is the state wrestling tournament and we had three make it to state and all three won their first matches. I think the wrestle again today, hope they do well.

Not much else going on so I better start.

Ash Wednesday..hmmm

It is still cold so nothing new. At least it isn't snowing.

We had a two hour late start yesterday. Drew's basketball tam lost last night by 30. I think he had 6 points.

Tonight Jess has her regional game. If they lose, the season is over. If they win, they play again on Saturday.

Work has been kind of slow but today I have a few things on the agenda. With all of the snow days, we have had to move the school terms back a couple weeks. Today I have to mass move all of the enrollment dates and course enrollment dates in our information system. It takes a bit of time but will be good to have done.

I am not giving anything up for Lent. I haven't gone to church in a long, long time and it seems a bit hypocritical to do the whole Lent thing when I really am inactive in a religious sense.

I do enjoy the 99 cent fillet-o-fish at McDonalds on Friday though.

So I finally go on Facebook and have been pleasantly surprised about how many people from Exeter are on. It is really nice to be able to click on them and see pictures of what is going on back home. God, I hadn't seen Gator's Pub in years. It still looks the same though.

Greg Ekeler is on and so I look at his pics. I also have some other "friends" that I really don't know who they are but they are from Exeter and friends of Jenny, or Angie or seem to know me from back in the day.

Ok, off to start.

40 in Canada, 3 here!

I really don't know anyone that is happy about the weather. It was snowy and windy again yesterday so they closed school. The roads drift shut so fast it is hard to get around.

With the school cancellation, I missed another Monday night class so we are pretty far behind now. We are really going to have to move through the material to get everything covered.

Drew was supposed to have a game but it was canceled as well. He has a game here at home tonight. We are already on a late start but we should have school.

Jess has the regional basketball game Wednesday. The next loss, the season is over.

I am not sure how the heck it can be 40 degrees in Canada and it is cold and snowy here.

Speaking of Canada, I have been watching the Olympics on and off the last couple of days. It is ok, some things are fun others are very boring.

Not much else going on. I will keep you posted on the games.

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.
