Women in Sports

Today was a long and busy day but a good day too.  I got to chaperone 15 of our female athletes.  We went to the 13th annual women in sports conference put on by the orange county athletic directors association.  We heard 5 women speak, 3 of which were olympians.  Sue Enquist was the final speaker and she was just great.  Then I went to watch a friend's daughter for awhile.  I helped a former student with some math studying.  I went to the school play called "Fools".  So that was a lot packed into one day.  But it was meaningful and I enjoyed it.

Jack

Yesterday with about 7 minutes to go in 4th period I turned around and saw Jack.  Wait, no, Jack is physically gone.  I really saw Alex, Jack's twin brother.  He had come by to say hi.  I never had Alex as a student but I did have Jack twice and their older brother Nick once.  I love my students.  I love kids at the school that were never my students but I see them around.  Kids make me smile.  I want good things for them.  Anyways, it was nice to Alex of course but it was unexpected so as soon as he left I was blinking back the tears.  Later that afternoon I went to see Jack's grave for the third time.  This time his headstone was there.  It's a very nice one.  I cried there and then went to help a former student with his college algebra homework.  It was an alright day, just kind of long.

Is it really Monday?

I got to play bells yesterday and I saw friends so that was a ton of fun.  I also have tv again for the first time in months and that was a nice distraction.  I decided to do my online traffic school instead of my taxes.  I looked at yelp and found an easy to use and cheap site.  I was done in about 75 minutes so that was a bonus.  I am ready for today, kinda.  I figure it's gonna happen one way or another so I might as well think that I'm good to go.

Cheat Day

Umm, yeah.  That's all there really is to say.  I'm ready to play bells again.  It's happening tomorrow.

Am I really ready?

Uhh, so I ate a lot of food after exiting therapy.  Ahh...  And I kind of want to eat a lot now.  I dunno.  What I do know is our boys basketball team's season is done.  They played hard last night and they didn't give up but they didn't make enough shots to win.  I'm glad I went to the game.

Bye to therapy for now

It was a minimum day at school and I actually tried to review in geometry and learn new stuff in stats.  Oh my, not a good plan.  The kids just wanted to sit and chill.  Then I went to see a friend and her 18 month old and that was fun.  I went to Kaiser where Rosa pretty much said at one point when I didn't have a whole lot to say, "So we're done?"  It took me a second to realize what she was saying.  Then I went home briefly to wash my hair and change for Open House.  I got to talk with all kinds of interesting parents for 2 hours.  One man even brought his dog.  That should pretty much sum up the evening.  I now have a headache.  Tomorrow should be exciting.  It's a huge day for our boys basketball team.  I'm going to go watch them in a CIF semi-final match against Royal in Simi Valley.

So Tired

And tomorrow is Open House which means it is going to be a REALLY long day tomorrow.  Granted it's a half day but that just means there is 6 hours to spend before going back to school from 6:30-8:30.  I'm going to visit a friend and her daughter and I'm going to go t Kaiser.  Fun times all around...well, maybe not the Kaiser part but whatever.   I'm super excited that my brother and sister-in-law are coming out soon for their honeymoon!  I need sleep now.
