Baseball/ Parent Teacher Conferences


     How many of you remember the Friends episode where Joey moves out and has the glass that water runs down to look like rain. That is what about everyday feels like right now. It is definitely making practice harder with having to be inside everyday but today, to try to lighten the mood, I am going to let them pick teams and play whiffle ball inside.
     Tonight after practice we will be at the school until about 7:30 for Parent/Teacher conferences. It will be a long day but on occasion you do get to speak with some parents about somethings that maybe going on with their child. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad but nevertheless it is good to speak with the ones that show up.
     So, in closing today maybe we can get some relief from this rain sometime soon and possibly get a game or two in before we leave for spring break in 2 weeks.

Till Tomorrow,
D. Pounders

Baseball season #2

Baseball is here but of course with the rain we can’t really get a lot done. Most of our days have been spent indoors in the gym at school and we can get somethings done but not a whole lot. With that yesterday we are practicing in the gym again and in the middle of one player throwing a bullpen the lights go out. My initial thought was it was just in the gym. Then upon further investigation it is the entire school. So, I asked the resource officer and come to find out it was not just the school but the entire city and some outside of the city. So, for the last 20 minutes of practice we sat in the dark gym waiting on the power to come back on and when it didn’t it was time to go. This season has been somewhat crazy already and we haven’t even played a game yet. At this rate we either need a swim team or start an indoor waffle ball league. Till Tomorrow, D. Pounders

Post 2

      As a teacher I see about 250 students a day (give or take). Most days are fairly good with no problems but there are days when you wonder what in the world just happened and how did I keep my sanity. I was fully expecting Valentine’s Day to be one of the days but for the most part everything went well this year. even though the kids where hopped up on sugar they managed to hold things together. A lot of that credit can go to administrators and parents for holding the students accountable if they misbehave. Thank you to all of you.      Now before leaving home My wife and I gave our kids a small Valentines Day present and a card to tell them how much we Love them. They were both dry excited about their candy and a small gift. It is always so much fun to see the look on their faces when they get something.     Tonight though my wife and I will spend the evening at the church listening to ways to eliminate debt through a livestream. I ...
