Tuesday night. Your sister was going nuts.
This morning when the puppies went out after their morning siesta.



Uneventful day today. I did download itunes on your dad's computer. Wow, how much faster is that. After that, I even finished my down load from last night.



Kristin and I went swimming today around 11am and she swam 295o. While we were there two other girls came in.



Had lunch. Played the old play station and started a new book.



Your dad worked all day and is now home for awhole. He is having clam chowder then has to go bck to school for a Community forum. He is not too excited about that.



Tomorrow, we have an A day and we will again on Friday. That will get us somewhat caught up.

SNOW DAY

This was about it. It was slippery, but it sa gone by 1pm around town.

today

Needless to say, not much got done today. We had our wake up call at 5am. and didn't go back to sleep. I fixed breakfast for all three of us. Your dad left around 7:30. He still had to go to work. Kristin and I did absolutely nothing. I did read almost a whole book that Cleary let me borrow.

lunch

Kristin and I had grilled tuna sandwiches for lunch, then both of us took a nap. I didn't even work out today. How lazy is that?

tonight

Tonight, we are having taco's, hamberger for them and chicken for me.

Tonight, we are suppose to get down to 36. Will have to go to school tomorrow. I will get that golf tournament stuff for you.

Have a nice evening and stay warm.

Mom

Good morning. This is a picture that you can show Dylan to remind him who the PSP belongs to.

Yesterday:

Woke up and read the paper. Your dad left early to procter half of the SAT test to a girls who is almost compelety blind. She is retaking the test so that she can improve on her 600 math score. She want to be an aerontical engineer.

We went to Best buy and bought the wrong CD.

Dinner was at miNa's. Ed had given your dad a $25 gift certificate and we wnated to use it before she went out of business. (she wants out and there is someone who is interested in going in there. He has had good food in the past and owns a winery also.)

After dinner, we went to your sister's soccer game. She played better, but they still lost. The main components were not at the game. While there I saw Dani Fenton. She is getting married next weekend.

This Morning:

Your dad left at 7:15 to finish giving the test. He is getting paid $149 for the two days. Not bad.

Kristin and I are not playing golf. It is cold and wet, but no snow yet. We invited Fitz over for the Super Bowl next Sunday.

Hope you have a nice day and talk to you soon.

Mom

Finals are over. New classes on Monday. We are on the down slope. I am ready for the new start.

Good day today. Finals went well, only had one class today.

The swim meet went well. AS you know, we won both boys and girls. Had some good swim, especially from the younger (novice) girls and the boys. Burger swam well again, with two PR's. Your sister had two PR's also. Jason was watching her swim the 50 and he didn't know who it was. She was actually moving. Your dad says she dives in and goes backwards. NOt much of a starter.

Had potato soup tonight. I also had a salad and chicken. Will have hot chocolate and cookies later.

Tomorrow morning, I am going to breakfast club with Allison Clark. It's nice that it is someone different than the usual suspects.

Have you received your phone yet? Hope you get it soon.

Waiting for snow here, but doubt it will come. You are getting all of the snow you should have gotten last year plus what you are suppose to get this year. I guess you could say that you are geting "twofers".

Have a good day tomorrow going to your one class.


MOM

Had two finals today (after I ordered my daughter a new phone). The First one was women's weight training and I had them write their own workout and explain why they did what they did. The second one was Aerobics and we did a step off and body circumference. Both were easy, just boring.

After lunch had another phone call to take care of. I told you about that. Pictures at practice. I have picture day. Had a hard practice. You would have been proud of Burger. He swam with the club kids today. He went thru this twice: 2.200 on 2:30, 2x200 on 2:20, 4x 100 pull on 1:25, 8x50 kick on :55. No rest inbetween. He did it all. I'm really hoping that he goes a 5:30 or better at district.

Came home and fixed bacon and eggs. Now, I'm doing this and fixing cookies. IT is all we have. There are no more.

Sorry that you have to get up early tomorrow. Life can be sooooo rough.

HOpe you have a good day. I see that you are suppose to get snow, so are we, maybe this weekend. Maybe no golf for us.

Love

MOM

NOt much happened today. Finals for period 3-4. I have 4th prep, so I took care of some things. Swim practice went well. Almost everyone worked hard today. Only three weeks left.

Cold here again and they are expecting snow showers as early as Thursday. More will come in for Sat, Sun., and MOnday. Yeah, right!

Your dad is good. He and dinner made for when we came home tonight.

I'm already for the weekend. I need some time to relax. I need to finish a book or two.

Going to watch AI at 8pm. Hope I can stay awake.

Am I suppose to order your phone tomorrow? I'm getting so old that I forget.

MOM

Puppies didn't get up until 6:17 this morning. That was nice. WE watched the news, read the newspaper, watched a movie and finally started moving around at about 9:30. Took showers, and had a phone call from the soph. boy's dad. That is a long story.

This Morning

Went shopping. Started out at Best Buy, then walked to Radio Shack. Your dad was looking for an outside thermometer to watch the really cold weather that we are suppose to get. Then we wnet to costco, Office Deop, Roths, Lowes (for a new toilet seat in our bathroom) and PetCo for fish food.

NOW

Now your dad is puttering. He bought some lights to put in the closet whre the pump is, put up his thermometer, changed the toilet seat and is not cleaning toilets. Where are you when it's time to do your job?

Tonight

I ahve practice tonight from 5:30-7pm. We will be eating dinner before that, haveing Costco chicken, potatoes, baked beans and pears. Should be good.

Dylan's Address

Hope you are having a good day off, and don't forget to give me Dylan's address again. I misplaced it and if you want your phone that's where it will be sent to.

Sorry you have three classes tomorrow. We have two each on Tues, Wed, and Thurs, and no kids on Fri.


Love mom

Long day yesterday. Meet all day and they just had to go out to Burgerville after the meet. When I talked to you, we were just getting ready to leave. We were just waiting for a couple to get dressed.



Burgerville was good, but it isn't In n' Out. Jason liked going there. They were pretty slow, but the food is good. Your dad wasn't too happy that he had to pick me up. It was his idea to not leave a car at school.

TODAY

Today, we woke up and went to play golf. The course was much drier than last week. I even had to move my shadow out of the way of Fitz's line on a putt. AS we were leaving it was beginning to get windy and colder.

WEATHER

WE are suppose to get an artic chill for the next few days. It is suppose to be a high of just above freezing tomorrow and maybe down to the teens at night. I know that is no big deal for you, but for here in the banana belt, it is something. Sorry that you are getting so much snow. YOur sister would love it.



Right now, while I'm writing this, your dad is outside feeding the birds, I'm listening to the game and your sister is in our beadroom watching TV. She has a soccer game at 4:20 today. I'm going to take some pictures.



Tonight for dinner, we are going to have Calazone from Figaro's.

SWIMMING

Just a couple of times from the meet yesterday. Paul Herriott swam a 24.9 on a relay split, and Kraig swam a 1:04;09 in his 100 back last night. In the prelims, Jeremy swam a 22.13 in the relay split also. We had some good swims. Burger swam a 5:49 in the 500 is only 4 sec off of his best time.



Have a nice evening, stay out of trouble and stay warm.



MOM

Found my split sheets. They were mixed up with the stuff that the South coach picked up. They are now in my hot little fingers.

First day of finals. Two down and four to go. 1st period was Aerobics and we did a step off and body circumference. 2nd period was Person Fitness and I gave a written test. Everyone actually brought a pencil. That was a first. Had a lot of time today to work on swimming stuff.

Practice was good. Almost everyone was there. Not bad for a Friday on a finals day.

Your sister and I came home and had left over Chili for dinner. YOur dad is at school doing basketball.

Tomorrow, I'm in Corvallis. Hopefully it's not too cold and wet on Sunday so that we can go play golf.

How was your hitting today? Did dylan help you?

HOpe your time with Joe is fun.

Again, stay out of trouble, and let me know what you find out about your living situation for next year.

Love,

MOI

What a day. Woke up to 26 degrees which is warm for you. Had all 8 periods today, but I only saw 6 (because of the meet). Boy, did that go fast.

Swim meet against SS. Boys won and I played it too close on the girls side, we won by 2. We had to get 1st and 3rd in the last relay to pull it out. The girls were fretting a bit. They weren't real happy with me. It did make SS feel good.

I got home to work on the splits and lost the split sheet. WEnt back to the pool and they weren't there, so I hope the SS coach has them. Some of my jv boys swam really well. I e-mailed him tonight so hopefully I can either get them back or read the times off the computer print outs. I will keeep my fingers crossed.

Tomorrow, we have our first two finals. Practice at regular time.


Saturday, we have an invatitional in corvallis. Very fast meet. It will be fun to watch the kids swim against some real competition.

HOpe you had fun at the game. Do you have anything planned for the big weekend? I know you don't have classes on Monday. What a boring life.

Stay our of trouble.

MOM

Cold day today. Got up to 33. I know that is a heat wave for you, but for us it's butt cold.

School was good.

Picked up swim team beanies and they look good. The kids loved them. So did your dad.

I fixed dinner tonight. I fixed angel hair pasta and topped it with chicken and alfredo sauce. It was ok considering your dad is not crazy about chicken. Tomorrow night, we are having stew in the crock pot. I fixed the meat tonight.

How was your day today? Have you even started doing homework yet? As your father would say "remember why you are there".

The girls basketball team upset McKay last night over at McKay. When your dad saw that this morning he about fell to the floor. Last year, McKay was the dictrict champ.

Have any big plans for your day off?

Have fun at the game tomorrow night.

MOM

another day, another dollar (spent) Your sister now has texting. She is very excited.

As you know, we had a two hour delay. It really made the day go faster. I got alot done this morning with swimming and classes.

Practice went well. They worked hard again. WE don't have much more time before district and golf will then start.

Saw that your classes are going well? Is anatomy going to be easy? HOw is English different than when Sadie took it? Glad that Health is going to be easy. That will give you more time for Philosophy.

Are you really going to qualify Jan 26th. Where are you going to qualify? It must be wishful thinking.

When you say that it is Dylan's turn to hit in the net, do all of you have certain times? You should have fun at the girls game on thursday. You must be somewhat bored to go to a girls game, although they are suppose to be better, right?

Your dad had duty tonight, but he is on his way home. The West girls beat Redmond. He was happy.

Weather is suppose to get better, still cold but no moisture.

HOpe your dinner was good tonight.

Talk to you soon. Time to get ready for AI.

MOM

Day was good. Kids were wild at school. Finals start Friday, so maybe that is why.

Your sister really jammed her pinky finger at the soccer game yesterday. It is huge, purple and ugly. She was really tough.

Tried to sign her up for her texting on the computer last night and it wouldn't let me do it. WE are going to stop in there tomorrow after practice.

Your dad fixed chili tonight and it ws really good. now, he is eating his birthday cake and yelling at lexi to stop chewing on her paws. Maddie is in her usual spot on the couch on your dad's seahawk blanket.

Let me know how your B day is (tues-thurs). HOpe you can get up early 3 times a week.

Love,

MOM

Had a nice breakfast this morning. the next door neighbors brought over pull aparts last night so we had that with bacon and eggs.

The christmas stuff is now down. Your dad and sister just finished.
