Three Day Weekend

Whew, I am taking Monday off since the kids are out of school!! I can’t wait. Work has been really busy lately.

I took off yesterday afternoon and went to the kids’ Valentine’s parties. Apart from gossipy moms it was a good time.

Courtney (4th grade) does more switching around of classes than Rebecca (1st grade) does. So Courtney has a homeroom, then she happens to have her homeroom teacher for language arts and she goes to another teacher for math/science/social studies. The kids in her language arts class are not necessarily the same kids in her math class. Then they break into I think different groups for music/art/PE. Anyway, their Valentine’s parties were in their homerooms but they could bring Valentine cards for kids in other homerooms. During the party there were kids in and out delivering other Valentines. At one point, a girl came in and brought Courtney a card. When Courtney turned it over, it said "From Everett". Everett was her "boyfriend" in kindergarten and has always been a little special to her. I thought that was cute.

Courtney won her first basketball game last Saturday. The other coach left the game in the middle in protest, which was a pretty dickhead move I thought. He was complaining that the refs weren’t calling the game fairly. They were actually doing a better job than usual. I tape all the games for our coach so he can watch how the girls are playing, and going back over the tape it’s clear that the refs missed some things (really, if they called everything the girls would never play) but they weren’t calling it uneven.

Well I have a meeting in an hour and I have to leave after that (David is giving a midterm tonight & I have to get the kids) and my boss just gave me something he needs done today so….ugh.
