Cookies

A parent stopped in this afternoon to drop off a box of very fancy cookies.  They were in a sturdy box, tied with colorful ribbons, wrapped up fancy in tissue paper.  Each cookie was decorated (and by decorated, I mean, the frosting looked like it was painted on) in a school fashion: notebook, apple, ruler, chalkboard, pencil.  They look too good to eat!  The lady who dropped them off said she ordered them online. (The other teachers got cookies too).

Volleyball today was fun.  My voice is a little hoarse; the games were close!  We played Gaylord and won only one of the five games.  B squad lost both (they were very sleepy... hopefully they'll be more awake for the tournament this weekend!), A squad lost one, won one, lost one.  Even though our girls played sloppy, the games were super close!  We could've won if they'd have tightened their playing up.  I think everyone was distracted.  I wore a necklace to school today that I made in pottery (an owl pendant on a long gold chain, brown glaze on one side, permanent marker drawing on the other). They kept grabbing it to look at it.  "Whoa! Miss H! Where'd you get this??? It's so cool! ...You made it? Can you make me one?"  Right in the middle of our volleyball huddle.  I blame it on the weather.

We got a lot of rain last night, but not as much as some.  I heard on the radio this morning that Janesville and Waseca got about 13 inches!  Schools were being called two-hours late or even called off due to flooding!  The state closed down part of Hwy 14 and 22 as well.  But by the time school started, the rain was over, for us at least.  Yikes! What a mess! What's even more of a mess is the office... someone forgot to close the windows last night and when the rain came down... the whole carpet in front of the window is soaked along with all the mail piled under the window.

Stomach update: I'm a member of the clean plate club once again! Both breakfast and lunch.
