Sunday Random

1) Wow. Over a week since the last post. Sorry mom!

2) First week of school is in the books. Spent Monday helping a sub get through her day. Tough being a sub, especially when there are no lesson plans since the position she is subbing for hasn't been hired yet!

3) My feel for the year so far is pretty positive. The seventh graders seem like a really good group of kids, and they are having little trouble following the dress and behavior codes. Eight graders? Well, for the most part they are doing alright, but there are a couple dozen that are going to push for awhile.

4) Job is still undefined, but the meeting is set for Thursday. Hopefully we get more direction then.

5) Thursday was picture day, so I jumped in and helped monitor the kids as they were waiting for pictures. 7th graders were much better at this than the 8th graders.

6) Got to fill in for the AP and the Dean both on Friday. That was fun. Pretty quiet morning.

7) Got my new shoes this week. Batman Hi-top Converse. First pair of Converse I can ever remember owning. May be a reason for that. Those shoes have no padding whatsoever. All day standing on concrete and running around=foot pain.

8) Saturday I prepared 2 racks of ribs for smoking on Sunday.

9) Also went out to Cold Springs for a BBQ with some old friends. It was so good to see Stephen after all these years. Mom and Dad Barr haven't changed a bit in all these years.

10) Today is down to the rib cook-off to hit the booths and buy some sauce. No way I am buying food there though. Way too expensive for what you get.

11) Now mom should be happy! I caught up!
