RN congrats Cinnamon!

RN I knew he had already punished all for one or a few last week, so when Caleb mentioned it the other day I didn't even question it. However, I did think that as long as he was doing what he was supposed to (even if it was writing the rules to a sport) that he'd get the credit for the work he did. I really don't expect to hear back from him til at least Monday.

Funny thing is the first time we met this man, before he had even opened his mouth, I turned and whispered to Darren "In school, this is the pe teacher that terrified me, the one I'd dread going to his class every single day." I don't mean he was one of my pe teachers, just reminded me of that and when he started talking, my opinion didn't change at all. Caleb though really likes him. He is tough, he doesn't expect the kids to be the best at sports but expects them to try their hardest, and varies the activities/sports so they aren't getting bored.

RN, War, it really isn't fair to the other kids. I went through that in grade school, with a home room teacher.. our class DID have a group of boys who acted up, we had a "reputation" and this teacher made it clear that we would lose as a class and what we lost was a big deal back then, the ONE day all year that she would bring in ice cream and coke and have a party.. Plus she was the music teacher for all the lower grades so she tortured us as a class for several years. Then we finally got to whatever grade had the other music teacher and that wise woman, the very first day, told us that she didn't believe in "reputations" and that we were starting with a clean slate and that there were fun things we could do while singing, making special effect noises and such, but that we could lose that fun stuff if we went overboard. And, magically, those boys shaped up in her class and we had a great time.

Anyway, good for you for asking for an explanation!

RN, I wish I could clone a certain coach at our high school and share him with all the other schools. I get to watch this man with our students every day and he is amazing. No matter what is going on I have never seen a student walk away from him without a look of confidence, understanding, pride, a laugh or a smile. I have seen him take the most sullen kid you would ever want to see and breath new life into them, until that kid is having the time of their life doing something they didn't even want to try earlier. It doesn't matter if it is academic, artistic or physical, he finds their strength and draws it out.

Right now, I'm so excited. My niece graduated from beauty school and my brother and his wife flew in from Wisconsin. My other brother is having a party for her and my sister came up from Visalia. We are having a family reunion sans one niece and one nephew.

RN Biloxi, wish you could clone your schools coach too, he sounds like a good one!

RN still no response from Caleb's coach, but I didn't really except one til Monday at the earliest anyways. Darren is wondering if the guy mixed Caleb up with another boy. Could be, he knew Caleb's name and could discuss in detail his behavior in class but he also couldn't remember which period or grade he was in.

Poor Caleb is really worried about this (he has access to the grades as well as we do) because he knows that PE is a free/easy A as long as you show up and participate. He's doing pretty good in school but that easy A can bump up a GPA.

RN Earlier this morning hubby was in a car accident. He's okay aside from a few bumps and scrapes, but the car is not okay. A guy ran a red light and hit him broadside on the passenger's side. The other guy is okay also. The car is going to take at least a week to fix but our insurance covers a rental car.

RN I am laughing my butt off. I just got an email from one pe coach at the same time the other called me.

Here's the prob: For the first 3-4 weeks of school, they were dealing with a major computer glitch. They have a math support class and language arts support class that all the kids were put into one or the other, or both in some cases, and as kids who didn't need those classes moved out of them and into others the computer scheduling was going wonky. During that first 3-4 weeks, Caleb was switched between the two boys pe classes 6 or 7 times (I lost count and at one time he was in both 4th per. pe classes at the same time!)

The two coaches thought it was straightened out, Caleb's name stopped appearing on one of their roll sheets and everything seemed ok. They checked into it and somehow Caleb's still listed as being in both classes.

So the email was from the coach who isn't Caleb's, he apologized, Caleb isn't listed on his sheet, but somehow the computer schedule still has him in it, they think they have the problem fixed now. Then his coach called, while I'm reading that, to tell me that there is no way Caleb would get an F in his class, so sorry, taken care of, and that Caleb's one of his better students and if he started having problems, behavior or otherwise, coach would call us since that'd be so out of character for Caleb.

Hehe, I am very glad I spent so much time re-writting that email!

RN, it didn't say this, but all I saw elsewhere was "blah blah blah blah blah." I hate when that happens.

Right now it is 8 am on my day off. A day I would normanlly sleep in until 9 or so.... dreaming pleasant dreams.

Right now there are men on my roof pounding and stamping and repairing. They have been there since 7 am.

Right now I am not happy.

RN Woo Hoo-
Saw Bruce Springsteen perform yesterday at an Obama rally/voter registration drive here in Michigan.
He was great! Crowd was estimated at 11,000, but we were quite close. It was like having him play guitar for us in the backyard. Very cool!!!!

Right now, I'm getting ready to drop more than $300 on a pair of tickets to see the worst team in the NHL play. <Sigh>. It ain't easy being married to a Leafs fan.

RN, Actually, we were standing in the outfield of the EMU baseball field...here's a link to the local coverage:

The Boss

Lots of folks had their cameras in action. Probably some YouTubes up, will have to look. I didn't even think to bring mine!

ED: Yup, found a few videos by searching "Springsteen Michigan". :-)

RN DH came home sick with the flue. I guess fishing in that last tournament, in the rain all weekend, was not his most intelligent decision.

He is such a boo hoo baby when he is sick.

I think I should go into work this evening.
