This week has been insane. It's homecoming week at Shelley High School and Cross Country Districts. Those two falling on the same week aren't good. First, one of my varsity runners twisted his ankle so we will be taping and puting an ankle brace on tomorrow. If it were any other race I would make him sit out. Then today at the assembly my top girl runner was in the milk/pixie stick chugging marathon. That's just the least of my problems right now it feels like. Tomorrow is Districts and I can't wait for them to be over.
Natalia wasn't feeling well again so I decided to take her back into the doctor last night. She has an ear infection in her left ear and a sinus infection. She is doing so much better today after the antibiotics. On Tuesday night she screamed all night. Good thing I didn't have to work the next day. I have to admit at four in the morning I had hit my sanity level and went and slept downstairs on the couch and made Tyson deal with it. He can sleep through alot more than I can. Hopefully it goes away and doesn't come back.
Since it was homecomeing week we had a door decorating contest. We are moving up to 4A next year and so the theme was rocking the conference. (by the way for any who don't know our mascot is a russet potato). I had made some really cool potatoes for the spud day parade that represented the three music teachers in my room. I didn't want to throw them away because I had worked so hard on them. Well, they came in good use. We made the double doors to my room look like a stage. I put black paper on the door to cover it, then I got white paper and twisted it up to make the metal scafolding that the lights hang from. We took a cardboard box and cut it up to make the state pop out and put red duck tape on it to make it look good. Then we took glitter glue and made a whole bunch of light hanging from the scafolding with christmas lights to. We cut out a whole bunch of little russets for the crowd and covered the bottom of the door just bellow the stage with that. We took my awesome potatoes and name tags I made and I was the rock band singer, Lynda was the guitar player and angela was the drummer behind an amazing drum set that one of our students drew. Finally to top it off we put our subs out there and a cd player playing Queen. It was the best door in the whole school and I didn't get pictures of it because my camera batteries died and after a week of being up it was starting to fall down. I hope someone got a picture of it. Anyway, they announced the winner today at the assembly and I got SECOND! Seriously everyone said that mine was the most creative and artistic. Thanks mom but I'm sure it would have looked even better if you were there. I lost to a math teacher who taped a whole bunch of pots and pans to the wall and had drum sticks out for people to make noise with. I don't care what they say, mine was by far the best out their. I don't know how to top it next year, maybe I will have to get my mom to design the next one and just send me everything to tape onto the door. I did have to throw my awesome potatoes away. They had a good life though.
Tomorrow is district cross country and then on halloween is state in Northern Idaho. A thirteen hour drive from this area. Seriously can we just go to Oregon, that sounds so much better than Northern Idaho. Actually Northern Idaho is really pretty but I have never had a runner run an outstanding race there before.
Well I hope you enjoy our blog.
