We had a two hour delay this morning for NO APPARENT REASON. The weather was bad Saturday night. And then all the ice was dryed up by the afternoon sun yesterday. Then, in the middle of the evening, I received an email saying that school was delayed. Now THAT is precaution. It made me look […]

Sinking
Ok, ok, I’m very slack. I am pretty overwhelmed at this point. And I do believe it’s too early in the semester to had said feeling of overwhelmedness. (I’d wager that’s not a word). Anyhow, so, yes, I’d like a few hours (a solid block of about 15 should do it), just to catch up […]
Round 2
Kids are back today. I don’t feel ready. I’m sure it will be alright. If not, I’ll just get to the weekend and then spend it (unhappily) fixing said unpreparedness. Nothing else new to report. We take on Starmount at home tonight. Should be a fun time. Well, I’d really love to stay and share […]
Sad Sunday
Well, it’s all over. The vacation that I counted down for since mid-November. Gone. In a flash. We start back tomorrow. Teachers only, until Thursday, when the kids roll in. It’s a whole new group of them, so there’s the whole “setting the tone” thing, that we have to do all over. The plus side […]
To NY Again
We are heading back to NY tonight (after our game against Mt. Tabor). This is a snapshot of part of our Christmas journey last year. It was quite nightmarish for awhile (in West Virginia). Hopefully, better weather will prevail and trip will be smooth and danger free. School is finished. I will run up there […]
Updates and Such
I guess it’s been awhile. Things have been rather exciting around here. Basketball started at school and takes up 1/12 to 1/8 of my day. (That’s two to three hours to you non-math people). So, it’s kept me on a strict schedule at the very minimum. I don’t even know how I’m finding time for […]
Already Over
The weekend FLEW by me with record speed. I went to a craft “festival” at my Sunday School teachers house with some other members of the class on Saturday. We made soup mix and Christmas bags and Cookie In A Jar mix. Good times. Then Derek and I took Lucy to the park to frollick […]
2-0
Stayed up late to watch the Red Sox take a 2-0 lead over the Cardinals in the World Series. (In case my site is the only way that you keep up on sports, the Red Sox came back against the Yankees and defeated them in 7 games). Anyhoooooo…. The weekend was restful and productive. We […]
Cool New York
This is a cool new t-shirt I got. (I actually got it awhile back, but I’m just now posting it.)… Anyhow… It’s for my kids at school, most of whom [sadly] did not know that there was a whole state and not just one big city. They are realizing that upstate New York is as […]
Just Lucy and Me
It’s been just me and Lucy here for awhile. Derek has been out of town (in Vegas) since Tuesday. He’ll be back this Tuesday. I took Lucy to a Forbush football game on Friday night. They lost. Lucy frollicked with my mentor’s puppy. Then, we returned to scenic Yadkinville on Saturday to play with Teresa […]
