Close enough to Friday


I guess it's kind of like Friday when you don't have to follow routine schedule....Headed to All States tomorrow morning. So not exactly 'work' routine, but still will be busy with students through Saturday. Then I'll head to Lake Placid to meet up with Kev, Connie, Em and Koby for Mother's Day weekend basketball tournament. Besides watching Em play, the best parts are staying in the hotel....not having to cook or clean for a day! Good enough for me.


Emma and Koby both had their first Spring ball games tonight...sorry, forgot the camera. Koby actually stayed home again from school...up and down for the last two weeks. But since Kev is coaching, Koby went. With only 8 other players on the field, they suited Koby up so they didn't have to forfeit the game. Kev said he was a bit of a space cadet in the outfield, but managed. Emma pitched the first few innings of her game, and had to choke back tears both times. She can be so hard on herself, and a perfectionist to boot. She hit a couple of good balls, and she was catching at the end of the game when her buddy Cori turned the last play to home plate to tag the last runner out. The game ended at 8:00 in a tie, and the girls were pretty excited with their first go 'round.


This week is teacher appreciation week. Lots of yummies have been brought into the office from parents from the various 5-towns. I got an extra special 'appreciation' today. Thanks, mom, for making me feel special. I've been tangled in one of those blue-moon cases that makes you think twice about the job you're doing. So it was nice to have a reason to smile.


Oh yeah...Happy Cinco de Mayo! I didn't really get to celebrate it, but I'm sure someone did! Hope they had one or ten for me...
