Tuesday: Day off. But, let's back up to Monday.

Started out like any other Monday. Had 5th period prep. Was going to get alot done, but my computer was sooooo slow. Finally got new weight sheets for women's weights run off and got attendance sheets for swim team made up as well as lane assignments.

The teaching day went well. Had a quick pep assembly for the boy's soccer team.

Practice. took two buses to practice. filled up 2/3 of the bleachers. Haven't made an offifical count, but had about 85 in the pool, 5 absent and three sitting because they not all complete.

Had 40 start down in the deep end and Erika ended up working with about 25 down there. There were some that could not breathe to the side. One boy said he couldn't do it because he was hungry. What an excuse.

Down in the main pool, the first 4 lanes did a nice workout. In lanes 5-6 there were close to 15 people. I had Tyler Duran working stroke with them. I didn't get to see much last night trying to keep everyone busy. It went well for the first night. Your team cheer was awesome at the end of practice. I gave them the day off today.

Today: your dad and I went shopping in Woodburn and saws some neat stuff. Bought a few things but if I told you what they were, I would have to kill you.

We came home and had lunch and watched a couple of war movies. I read for awhile and took a small nap and I'm sure your dad took a nap too.

Tonight, we are have a pot roast from Costco with red potatoes and corn.

Tomorrow: your dad and a counsilor from school are going to Santa Fe, New Mexico to a conference on dual language schools. He leaves home at 5am and gets home Friday evening around 9pm. I don't think he is overly excited about going, but it does get him out of the building.

I think the boys soccer team lost 1-0. Cleary texted me with about 9 min. left and I haven't heard since, so I'm sure they lost.

HOpe you get everything figured out with your group. It you have a good group, things can work out well, but if you have dead beats, it can be nasty. Hang in there.

Say hi to Dylan for us. We are looking forward to seeing him in Dec. We might even have to play golf on news year if the weather is good. I'm sure he would be up for a little free golf if there are not any good football games on. And don't forget the pork, sauerkraut, and potatoes in the crock pot. Fun times will be had by all.

the reno trip is shaping up to be a family affair. Nanny and Papap are going for sure as well and aunt merilee and uncle bob and derek. We don't know about Morgan yet.

That's all for now. Hang in there.
