I know the week is once again almost over before I blog about it. I think it is because I no longer have time in the morning to blog since we usually go to the gym. So here are some highlights...
*My Monday night women's volleyball team had two games in a row for the first time. That is a lot of work! Let me say that I know that I am aging... after two 40 minute games, I have been sore for two days! We won the first one in three; we lost the second in three to four really good girls that made me feel small! It was fun.
*Jeremy is now winning pool games against some of the fourth graders at the Boys and Girls Club. He also said there is this little first grader who likes to play pool, but is hilarious to watch. The cue stick is twice as long as he is, and he has to balance himself on the side of the table to hit a shot. It sounds like Jeremy is enjoying working with kids again.
*Jeremy (along with Kendra) made some great baked ziti on Tuesday night.
*We attended an introductory meeting about being a volunteer or a mentor through a program linked with the Club. We have to commit for a year to be a mentor, but we can volunteer to chaperone. There is also a web page - http://www.mentoring.org/ - that you can enter your zip code in to see the possibilities in your area. It looks like a great program.
*The unit has created a "car chart" to try to juggle all the cars. Because it is about 20 miles into work everyday, we try to take as few cars as possible. In order to do this, we spend almost an hour every Sunday night rearranging names on a board to fit with everyone's schedule. Oh, the luxury of having your own car!
*PALS kids can be a challenge some days. After those days, I think, "I am glad I am not teaching right now." I think part of it is just not having complete control of the structure of the program. It is also in transition. A new person begins on March 10 to direct the program; pray that this will be a smooth transition.
