UPDATE

thought I would update over the last couple of days and what is going on today.

Thursday: 3rd of 4 days of finals. Things went well.

Swim meet: we beat West in both boys and girls. West did not have their best girl so it would have been closer but I think we still would have won. The boys won big. I have 8-9 boys that can now go under at 1:00. That hasn't happened in awhile. As you know, your sister went a 6:55 and got 4th. She only needs 2.5 pts to letter.

Friday: last day of finals. Everything went well. after school, I had to clean out the locker room. Cleary had to go to Redmond so I was on my own. She did do alot before she left.

Practice went well. Kaylie Bahnsen's mom made cookies, so we had cookie Friday. Taper starts Monday.

After practice, I brought your sister home, she took a quick shower, the went to a friends night for a sleep over. I took her over there and just heard from her a little bit ago.

Saturday: Your dad is interviewing at a Salem-Keizer job Fair until around noon. I'm doing this and did bills. I will also work on swimming stuff until your dad gets home. I have to pick up your sister pretty soon.

After your dad gets home, we are going to the Outlet mall so I can get some new workout shoes. I need them bad. Then, we sill stop off at Costco before we come home.

Kristin has to work today at 1pm. Lst wekk, Larry let her stay until 4pm just to get paid more. He is too nice to you guys.

Hope you are feeling better. Have a nice day. How are your classes going? Did Dylan's parents feel the earthquake yesterday?

Hit 'em long and straight.

Blogging now before practice. It is easier.

today was day 2 finals. I actually wore jeans to school because I was in the classroom giving written finals both periods.

Had another make up day today after school and one boy came. He needed to finish the fitness test.

I saw your dad here at 1pm. He had an asst. prin. meeting. He seemed to be a happy camper. He won't get home until late tonight because he is going out for drinks for Mrs. Perez, I think.

Your sister went out for a team lunch again today. Mexican.

Getting ready for practice. Actually, I was ready this morning.

tonight, potato soupwith summer sausage in it and sandwiches for the two and I'm going to have a tuna salad.

Weather is ok, a little wet.

tomorrow morning I have my blood drawn to see how my cholesterol is. Cannot eat after 8pm. will be ready for breakfast after that tomorrow.

Hope you had a good day.

Thought I would do this now while I'm waiting to go to practice.

Uneventful last couple of days. Yesterday was a full regular day. Everything went off without a hitch. After practice I had the MAT methods class, then went and picked up medicine ag Walgreens. Went home, ate dinner, took a bath and watched most of the Closer. Only fell asleep a couple of times.

Today is the start of finals. did a step off in my first class, then had prep. I had a few kids come in to make up their fitness test.

Your sister went to lunch with the team.

after practice it is home, and dinner. Your dad is at West tonight for BB.

Not much else is going on. We will see how many are at practice tonight. They will use the excuse of finals. Oh well. they won't swim as much on Thursday.

HOpe you had a good day.

Oh yeah. We did have a little snow this morning, but I missed it.

Woke up the second time at 7:24. The first time was for the dogs.

Read the paper and had breakfast. Decided not to play golf. Had too much swim stuff to do.

Your dad went and played and I ws on the computer doing swim stuff. He played 3 holes in the snow. Shot a 81 with birdies on 15, 16.

He came home and kristin left for a lesson with Chris at 2. She got home at 2:40.

I left for the courthouse at around 3:15. I was helping a teacher learn how to swim. Before she got there, I swam 900 yards. My arms are so weak. Better start getting in the pool more.

Came home and fixed pork, augraten potatoes, corn and brocolli.

Just got out of the bath.

Doing this quick because I promised Kristin I would only be on for 15 min. I have 9 more.

MOM

Your dad having a good time. this is what you dad was like when Kristin and I came home yesterday. Having a drink and playing Guitar Hero. NOw, he wants to work on Crash Bandecute.

Yesterday, as you know, no kids, just work. Got quite a bit done. Picked up the swim team sweats. Heimie showed me how to edit my video's on the computer. I will burn a DVD and send it to you sometime.

When I got home last night, your dad decided that he wanted to go to Silverton to a girls basketball game. He just wanted to watch without doing duty. Silverton has some athletic girls. They played Lebanon who had a girl that made five 3 pointers.

This morning we tried to sleep in. the puppies got up at 5:30, so I stayed up, made coffee and got caught up on swimteam stuff. That took a couple of hours. Your dad got up around 7ish. I fixed him real Oatmeal, not the mico stuff. I have been having oatmeal almost every morning.

The puppies had an appointment at 10am. After we dropped them off, we went to Costco to pick up beer and seasonings. The beer is for a little get together. then, we went to Sports Authority. I had to pick up a new water bottle. I left the one you gave me on a school bus when we came back from Corvallis. I also got a small one. It is great for my shakes I have every day. Finally, we did our weekly shopping. Don't have to buy as much, since I only fix one meal a day for myself.

When we got home, I did laundry and vacuumed. Your dad worked outside, cleaning up the flower beds.

WE were suppose to have a hair cut at 3, but they called and asked if we could come in at 2:30. WE said sure. After that we were suppose to pick up the puppies but they weren't ready. We went to the golf club. We walked into the pro shop and Larry and Kristin were watching some dragon meeting. Only two people were on the course. He let Kristin sit there for an hour just so she could get paid. What a nice guy.

After we picked up the beautiful puppies, we came home and at 5:30 had taco's. For meat, I used the rest of the tri tip we had earlier in the week.

Now, I'm doing this. Tonight, after The game your dad is at, we are going to a get together at Mr. Jahn's house. That's what the beer is for.

Don't know if we are going to play golf tomorrow yet. It might be too cold. We will know in the morning.

That's all folks.

MOM

KRISTIN WENT A 7:00;48 TODAY. She didn't really didn't want to swim it after her 200. South beat us in the girls 121-49. We suck. The boy's lost 92-70. That was considering we worked really hard all week. I was happy with the way they competed. South's boys swam out of their heads. Let's see what happens at district.

The last couple of days have been uneventful which is just fine. The semester is winding down and everyone is ready to start the next one.

Your dad is is on the phone with Nanny. Nanny is ready to go to Reno. She wants to know if Dylan is going.

Only 6 weeks until spring break. I need that warm weather.

the puppies are fine. They get beautified on Sat.

Your dad might take me to the casino tomorrow night. I don't know.

HOpe you feel better.

MOM

Just tried to add a video. It didn't work so I will send a DVD of the video.

Not much went on today. It was butt cold this morning, but not as cold as you. By 10:15 my class was running the mile.

Had a decent practice. People are really tired and losing interest. It"s probably because it is close to final time.

Kristin and I came home and I had a shrimp salad for dinner. She had shrimp waton soup that we picked up at Costco. she likes everything but the broth. It looked like it didn't have much taste.

Your dad is at West Linn for a girl's basketball game. Your sister is doing math homework and I'm doing this. When I am done, I will start to figure out the line-up for South on thursday.

Glad everything turned out ok for teh first tournament.

Have a good day.

Mom

Thanks for sharing the pictures. It really looked beautiful.

Saturday: spent the whole day in Corvallis at the swim meet. Everyone swam really well. Eventhough we were at the bottom of the barrel of teams the kids were excited. WE got home around 9:30 after having the bus stop at Burgerville. Your dad picked us up and the puppies were in the car with him. Your dad played golf with Cross, Gahr, and Ward. He lost $6.00.

Sunday: Played golf, but didn't tee off until after 10. There was a frost delay. Your dad was the big winner at chips. He also had a birdie and had to buy drinks. After that we sent to costco. The yhouse was pretty empty of food. Bought some real nice pork loin steaks. They were on sale with the coupons. We will get four meals out of it. I can eat it on my diet. Because of my diet your sister and dad are eating better too.

Monday: Had swim practice at 7:30am. Had 33 there, and they worked hard. Went home and had breakfast, then went to the golf course to stand around until the frost delay was lifted. We teed off around 11:30. OUr original tee time was at 10:52. We were the third ones off. Larry moved us in front of the men's club. Yahoo. After golf and the drind donated by Fitz, we went to the store. For dinner we had tri-tip (from Costco), I had a salad, and your dad and Kristin had au graten potatoes left over from last night.

This week, we only have three more days of school. Grading day is Friday although, finals are the next week. Make up week for the week we missed for the snow.

Have a great day.

MOM

Yahoo! It's the weekend (eventhough I have to spend it at a swim meet tomorrow)

Today was a good day, just because it was Friday. Classes went well. Most of the TURDS were gone today. That always makes for a good day.

We had fun at practice today. I made mini teams in Nov. so today they were in those mini teams in their lanes. It was pick the set out of the hat day. I had sculling sets, corkscrew, one foot up, butterfly arms breast kick, dog paddle and stuff like that. they had fun. They got to go off the rope too. I guess I'm getting to be a soft touch. I figured that since they have been working hard is was time for a break.

Tonight, your dad is in Redmond at a basketball game, with the boys Ithink.

Tomorrow, Kristin and I are going down for Corvallis for a huge Invite. We will be luck if we get anyone in the finals. Should get some in the consols. Your dad is playing golf with Gahr and Cross.

On Sunday, the three of us are playing golf and hopefully going to costco.

On Monday, we have practice at 7:30am, then are playing golf at 10:52. Your sister is working on Monday. She swithced with Cole. (He quit his job up at woodburn because they were not nice to him).

HOpe you have fun this weekend. Please be careful.

We love you.

MOM

Sorry I didn't blog last night. didn't even get on the computer when I got home.

Not much happened yesterday. Talked to Maghan about my pot smoker. Had to susspend one of my swimmers for today's meet because he got another referral. It was a deal we had with his mom.

Classes went fine. swimming went fine. It was music Wedensday at practice.

Your dad fixed taco's last night and it was ready by the time we got home from practice.

Tonight, we swim Sprague at 5pm. the boy's should win and the girls will lose. We are not real good, but they work really hard.

Looks like qualifying will be much better than in Buhl. a weekend in Boise. that will work.

Have a great day.

MOM

Waiting For American Idol so I thought I would do this. Watching 2 1/2 men.

This morning, I was on a tear. First, I was pissed becuase my computer took over 20 min. to come on, then I finally turned it of at the power source and turned it back on. Then, I hit Maghan about my assistant coaches being paid out of my club account. Finally, I talked to Carla about the SAY golf payment for our saleries from last year.

Later, I found out I was tow out of three. The payment from SAY Golf came in and the computer wiz is installing a new hard drive for me tomorrow. The only thing that I didn't hear about wasa the assistant coach thing. Not bad.

Practice was great. the kids worked hard and had good attitudes. I think I have lost one boy for three weeks because he got caught smoking dope during lunch. NO biggie. Just a JV kid that can be used for an example.

Your dad is at school for a basketball game against South. If it gets ugly, he will come home early.

I think your sister had a good day.

the puppies had a good day. they ate as soon as we got home.

have a great day tomorrow.

MOM
