So February 21st huh? That is the last time I wrote anything. Sorry! With softball it is hard to have time to actually sit down and type anything. I will try to cram in the last couple months in just a few paragraphs so you don't sit here and read for hours.
SCHOOL
School is still going well. It is hard to believe that I am almost done with my first year already. I am going to write a book about my first year adventures. Even if no one else ever reads it I am going to be glad to have written all about it and maybe when I retire I will read it and it will make me laugh. I have been keeping a notebook about all of the significant things that have happened but I am sure that I have missed some things so I am going to try to get this accomplished before the summer is over.
SOFTBALL
When we actually get to play it is going quite well. As of right now we haven't played for a week. It makes it difficult because you don't know what the next skill you need to work on is. My girls are great. We have quite a few freshmen this year which is completely opposite of what I had last year. I had juniors on my team last year. This year I have 4 sophomores and the rest are freshmen. They are learning though and I love coaching.
PAT'S JOB
Pat is still at Hertz. Nothing really new there. He is going through fire school to be a firefighter so that is exciting/scary. He loves it and has always wanted to do it so I am really happy he is involved in something here since he moved here for me. Speaking of moving...
NEW HOUSE
Pat and I have started looking for a new house. We have not looked at too many but we do have one that we are serious about now. It took us a while to agree on one and come to some sort of compromise (which wasn't fun) but I think we have come to a settlement and are going to persue it. We still have to do all the inspections/ loan stuff and all of that fun stuff so no moving will be done at least until school is over.
SKUNK
There was a week last month that was an intersting one. First I was extremely stressed because of softball and school and just everything in general. Well Monday I met with our Vice Principal because I was having an observation the next day. I must not have been holding it all together as well as I thought because he asked me if I was ok and I just broke down right there in his office (so embarrassing) and then I got sick to my stomach. I pulled myself together until about 3rd period but then I couldn't take it anymore and came home sick (my first sick day of the year). So I got rested up and felt much better and was getting ready to go to school the next day when I smelled something. I asked Pat if he smelled it and of course he said no. Well I thought it smelled like skunk and smelled Paisely our dog but it wasn't her so I just thought I was crazy. Fast forward to school and my students can smell it. It was on my clothes! I came home to change but it was worse. Somehow a skunk sprayed our house! I think it sprayed outside right when Pat let Paisley out and the smell all came in. Oh and one more thing remember that my meeting the day before was because I had my observation? Yep I had it smelling like a skunk! Thankfully he didn't hold it against me. Well when I got home from practice that night the smell was so bad that my eyes were watering. We decided to leave the windows open and stay at mom and dad's. That lasted all week! We finally went and got powder to put in the carpet and about 4 bottles of frebreeze and that seemed to work. Oh and in the week before our heater broke and our washer went out. I believe that things happen in 3's now!
I think that is about all the excitement that has been going on here!
