It's Sunday

The boys finished up their youth hockey career yesterday with 2 losses.  They played the Owensboro Puckhogs and the Findlay Trojans.  The rink was so cold.  I spent the entire day freezing to death.  It snowed off and on a little, after being in the 60's all week.  Welcome back winter.  High school hockey is next.  The best part about high school hockey is that we only play Indiana teams.  We won't have to travel around all winter anymore.

My mom went with me to watch the final games.  On the way back, we talked about taking a road trip to California this summer.  We want to visit our old house in San Jose.  I want to visit Gardner School where I went to kindergarten and 6th grade.   I'd like to sit on the beach in Santa Cruz where I played when I was little.   My mom wants to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge.  If we go to San Fransisco, I have to see the Giants play.  We talked about camping along the way, like Harrison and I did last summer.  This trip will be epic, if it pans out.  I have to take a class this summer.  So we will see.  

Finally February

Has January always been this long?  It seemed longer than long this year.  The long car rides to all the hockey games didn't help.  I spent way too much time in the van last month.  We are home almost all of February now.  Except for this weekend.....

So my math bowl team won first place in the area competition!  The real competition is February 23rd.   I'm so excited, but we have a lot of work to do.  We scored 18 points out of a possible 32.  AND one of my math bowl kids moved away.  His last day was Monday.  I need to pick a new captain for squad 3 and move someone into his spot.  The stress is real here.

My class made the front page of the paper.  The fall foliage queen came to read to our class last week.  She had this huge tiara on her head.  She read a book about a princess that had a bad hair day.  The kids seemed to enjoy it.  When she left, I read the Paper Bag Princess story to them, just to bring them back down to planet Earth.
