LONG TIME

It has been quite awhile since I blogged and eventhough we text there are a few things that have been going on.

1. Kristin is so excited about coming to ISU. she is a bit worried about what dad and I are going to do without her. I told her not to worry.

2. Swim team has been going great. I am not going to cut so I will end up with about 83 bodies (I think). We have made it thru the first week and next Friday will be the first cookie Friday.

3. Practice at Kroc on Wed. was awesome. The acustics in there are wonderful.

4. Soccer. Thought I wwould let you know that Barlow lost in the 2nd round to Lake Oswego 3-0. Think of what the score would have been if we would have played them. West lost on Tues to West Linn 2-0. Now WL has to play Jesuit (which beat West 11-0 at the beginning of the year).

5. Puppies get a hair cut tomorrow. June and Julie are coming to visit.

6. Your dad is home tonight. No football this week. They get a bye.


That's all for now. Stay out of trouble!

Another day of only teaching one class. this gets pretty boring. I even grade the weight sheets every day. When was the lst time that happened? I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. right now I have my ipod on the computer listening to the Bee Gee's. I'm going through it alphabetically and only on the B's. It could take awhile.

The weather here sucks and it usually does this time of year. Your sister will have a wet practice today. After practice, we are going food shopping for her goodies for the bus trip to Redmond tomorrow.

Your dad has a cold and really sNoReS. I've been going to the other room and Lexi has been with me. Once Maddie falls asleep, she doesn't move until it's time to eat or poop. tonight your dad has volleyball at South. We will come home for an early dinner, then back out.

Tomorrow: teach, pep assembly, trip to Redmond, home. That's it in a nutshell. Kristin will get home sooner with me. We will stop on the way home for a quick dinner somewhere. Your dad has football against redmond at home. Redmond is terrible so it will be a blowout. It's also suppose to be wet. How much fun is that?

On Saturday we are suppose to play in a shotgun at 10am. If it rains alot, I bet they cancel it. Those old people are fair weather golfers. Your sister is to go in at 8:30 it there is a tournament, other wise she works Sat. and Sun. at noon. At least it's money. Costco will be visited also.

I think we will be traveling to Barlow for the soccer game next Saturday. They are the #1 team from the Mt. Hood league. If West ties or loses to North, we will have a home game against the #3 PIL (Portland) team. Probably a ROAD TRIP.

That's it for now. Guess I better find something to do.

FINALLY

It's been awhile since I have done this. Thought it was time to update.

Weather is crappy. Alot of rain yesterday and off and on today. I can live with it, but not for too long. Kristin was sopping wet yesterday after practice. today is colder and not quite as wet.

School is going well. Swim team starts in a little less than two weeks. I'm excited to have 1:30 for practice. I'm going to try some new things. Kristin is ready for swimming to start too.

tonight is the night we could find out if the soccer team goes to state. Sprague needs to beat or tie Redmond. If that is the case, the girls are in. We really want them to tie and McNary to win on Friday so that they can go as the #3 team. If they are #4 the game score will probably be something like 7-0. Really don't want that. I will let yo know tonight what the outcome is.

Sorry you are so spoiled as to have crab and lobster for dinner. Your dad and I can't even afford that. You are so spoiled.

tonight, your dad gets to go to the McKay WS girls soccer game. At least it is close to home. he will come home to mac and cheese with hotdogs. He is excited about that.

tomorrow morning is early morning time. We have to be here by 7am. Not bad. We get to go home at 3.

I'm going to go to Redmond to watch the last soccer game. Kristin will get home sooner so she can rest before working Sat. and Sun. She traded with Kole. He worked for her last Saturday. there is a tournament on SAt. so she will actually get in more hours. Your dad and I are playing in it. she is going to be rich.

Puppies are good and are ready to go to Sequim and see the new members of the family. Bob is problagbly bigger than the dogs.

Have a great day.

MOM

thought I would update now during my prep.

The soccer game last night was awesome. Your sister did well and Sprague was a little frustrated. sprague is definately the better team,but again we were really scrappy. Krsitn played well and I think your dad paced about 5 miles. as long as they beat Mckay and sprague beats redmond and West, they will go to state. If McNary wins out, they might even end up 3rd. Good for them. Miguel is so excited.

I feel asleep in NCIS. Would always wake up for the commercials. go figure.

Your dad was here this morning at a meeting. He came in and gave my Step Aerobics kids a bad time. they thought it was funny that my husband stopped by.

Kristin ordered her graduation stuff today. We are using your cap and gown to save a little money, but she got senior sweat pants instead. She is a happy little camper.

We had a 7am start this evening so I get to leave at 3pm. Your sister has to stay for practice. HAHAHA.

dinner tonight will be quick. Your dad has to be a McNary for a 6pm meeting with the superintdant and the community. A way to keep an open line of communication, I guess.

Raining alot today but suppose to bwe niceer tomorrow. Friday is iffy, I guess.

Hope you had a good day.

WONDERFUL DAY N THE NEIGHBORHOOD

We ended up haveing a nice day on the course. As you know, your sister shot an 86 and was only 1 stroke off your dad. Her swing is really looking good. I tried my new club and it was a bit shakey. It did get me on 17 pin high though. We dwon't play next week and will play twice the following weekend. We will play in the Pumpkin tournament at the club on Sat. then at our usuall time on Sunday. Your sister won't be playing that day. She will be sworking for Kole since he is working for her next Saturday.

I have a full week of school this week. Tuesday, the soccer team plays Sprague ( which they need to win or tie) and Friday they play McKay at home at 6:30.

After golf today, and lunch, I took your sister to American Eagle to look at jeans again. She ordered a pair on-line thru the store and paid store price. what is nice is that they will be shipped here.

We are having a pot roast in the Crock Pot for dinner tonight.

Tell Amanda happy B-day for me. I hope she is feeling better.

Seahawk game sucks, but we are sitting through it.

That's about it for now. Have a great day and remember, you only have 4 days of school this week ( oh yeah, you always only have four days of school a week).

OOPS! It's been a few days since this was updated. Actually, not much has happened.

Thursday: Had a full day of school. Not much happened. We picked up the Jeep. I never thought that we really needed three cars until we didn't have the Jeep. It is really nice that your sister can drive.

Friday: Inservice. We had some meetings in the morning talking about rewards and how to give them to students. Then we were educated on what we can and cannot use our school computers for. No porn, gambling, or running our private companies. Danr it. I need to be more careful.

Went to lunch with a few teachers.

Kristin made no mistakes at her game. She caught everything she was suppose to. West's goal came on two free kicks from about the 25 yard line. No high school keeper could have gotten them unless they were 6 feet tall. Your sister was riding pretty high.

Football scores: WS 60-SS 22. McNary 24-Lakeridge 14. smythe is coaching there now, so that win made Ward's day.

Today: footbal, football, football. Great games today. I hope some of the biggies fall so that Oregon will be ranked higher. Right now your dad is just sitting and watching football. I wonder how that will last. He has problems sitting for too long. maybe we will go to the store. Lexi just got out a toy and Maddie took it away form her. That wasa pretty funny. Wild Kingdom has begun.

Kristin works today, then next weekend, your dad is caddieing for her in a two day tournament in PDX. Both are looking forward to that.

That's it for now.

Have a great day.

I have some time so I thought I would update what is going on.

Yesterday. The girls won their soccer game 4-0. Your sister played all but the last 10 min. she even took a girl out while going after the ball. she thought she touched ball (she said she fellt something hard) and your dad seems to think she felt the back of the girls shoes.

Went home last night and fixed bacon and eggs for dinner. Got some peppered bacon from Costco and it is better than the Kirkland brand bacon.

Watched most of NCIS but ended up falling asleep at the end. Now I can watch the re-runs and they will be new to me.

We still only have one car. Suppose to get the car back maybe tomorrow.

Today. Had to be at school by 7am. Had a dept. meeting and talked about goals and objectives and feedback to students. It was ok. Taught both aerobics classes today and they went well. Since we had to come in at 7am, we get to leave at 3pm. YAHOO!!!!!

Met with Dylan Norby and showed him how to research schools where he could play golf. He is looking at NAIA and NCAA D3 schools. He could play small school golf.


After practice, your sister and the other senior soccer girls are making t-shirts for their kidnapping tomorrow. Since we only have 1 car, she is taking the little one and Marlo is picking me up for school.

We are having porkchops cooked in mushroom soup with extra mushrooms over white rice for dinner tonight. Your dad is beginning to be a rice lover. I enjoy the pork chops but won't have any rice.

Hope you hit the ball well today. I know you get to sleep in tomorrow morning and tomorrow you don't have to work out early, so maybe you can sleep in a little. ENJOY!!!!!!!!
