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.

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.

It's Official - Jess is a Cyclone!
We had the official signing ceremony yesterday and it was a pretty cool event. There were a bunch of kids that came, a bunch of teachers, coaches and some people from the community.
The AD gave a small presentation about how rare it is for a high school athlete to not only play at the division 1 level but to get a scholarship. Less than 1% of high school athletes get this opportunity.
Jess signed her scholarship paperwork and the National Letter of Intent. Everyone clapped and then she was interviewed live by the local radio and newspaper sports writers. She did a good job.
One of the nicest moments was when she was talking to the radio sportscaster and he asked her who she wanted to thank. One of the people was Drew. She thanked him for having to deal with her for the last 10 year. Going to all her events, volleyball tournaments, basketball tournaments, etc. He was in the back of the room and I think he really appreciated her doing that.
It was a good day.
I got a new cell phone for work. It is taking me a bit to get used to it but I like it.
Class went well last night. It is hard having a big class like I have because there is such a big gap in skill levels. I have some students that are right out of high school or still in high school that are good students and can zip right through the material. On the other hand I have people who have not been in school in over 20 years and do not have very good computer skills.
It is a hard balance to go slow enough for the low experienced level students without losing the more experienced ones.
Drew has a game here in Perry tonight against Adel, and Jess plays here in Perry against Adel tomorrow.
Trash day so the ladies will be out and prancing around. Bundle up biatches, its cold.

This weather sucks!
Class went well last night. I have 13 people now so it is the biggest class I have had here in Perry. Wednesday night has 24 so that one is really big.
Jess team lost last night and she came home very frustrated. The coach is being an ass and keeps putting her and the team down. There is one girl on the team he loves and he always says she is the only one that works hard.
Jess is just ready for the season to be over. It is kind of sad because she really has enjoyed basketball and was looking forward to the season. It is a shame it has to end this way.
When Jess scores 20 points or more, they win. When they don't get her the ball and let the coaches pet shoot all night, and Jess scores 12 or less, the lose. Not too hard to figure out how to win games. The coach need to retire.
Nothing tonight but Nancy is going to make cookies for Jess singing ceremony and Jess is going over to help.
Emma lost a tooth yesterday, it was laying on a blanket in the living room. She is chewing like crazy so she must be ready to lose more.
Ok, not much else. Off to start.

I can't wait for curling at the olymipics
Weather is going to be ok this week. In the 30's most of the week. Some chance of snow but I don't think it will amount to much.
Jess' team won on Friday night she had 23 points and they all played pretty well. We have one young player that shoots too much and can't hit the broad side of a barn and she will ultimately be the demise of the team but Jess took more shots and drove the ball for pull up jumpers so that helped.
Drew had a game Saturday and they lost by 15. He had 2 points and did a nice job getting rebounds. His foot speed is getting better but he still needs to get a little quicker.
Jess plays in Carlisle tonight. It is a make-up game and I teach so I will miss it. It should be on the radio so I am hoping to be able to listen a bit during class. I haven't figured out how to do that yet but will figure something out.
Nothing going on Tuesday night for me but there is a choir performance called Jukebox and the kids really like it so they are both going. Jess also is going to help Nancy make cookies for her signing ceremony on Wednesday.
I have been battling a sore throat this weekend. Not a bad one but just a bit sore. I think I need to gargle with Tequila tonight. I should have done that last night.
I am getting really tired of the cold. I can't wait for the weather to get better. It would be nice to take the dogs out and let them run around.
