Spring Break

I never thought I would want storms on Spring Break, but I'm dying here. This pollen junk is out of hand. I've been out once today and I ran back home. Rain would be a good thing and the size of these mosquitos? We could use a snap freeze right quick too.

Being inside I have decided that there is nothing really good on the tube during the day. Well, I've got a website to update. Talk at y'all later.

Hey Y'all Look at This

Check this out peoples. Rome soccer is #9 in the state of Georgia for AAAA. Checkout this site out Soccer Info and click on Georgia and type Rome into the little box and click on Rome. This should bring up our schedule.

Howdy Doody

Well, we have one week and counting to Sanity Break... I mean Spring Break. This weekend is a busy one. Kristi and I are hanging out with the nieces and nephews while Philip, Shelley, and Stephen are at the Busch Race. Tomorrow we will be celebrating my 36th a few days early. Crazy Crazy. That's all for now got a soccer game to go to.

I Almost Forgot

With my birthday coming up I think I should let you all know what I want for my B-Day.

First Home Depot Card (any amount) larger the better
Second A stick for Mom's old camera (the biggest one you can find)
Third Marvel Mystery Oil
Fourth Anything you feel that I need and want

A little info about getting the home depot card; the more money on the card the more vegetables I can grow.

When It Rains It Pours

I like these rain metaphors.

My niece got to play a good chunk of time in her game yesterday. They won Sonoraville 3 - Woodland 0. Vanny is one of 2 sixth graders on the middle school team. I'm so proud of her.

We won, We won, We won. Rome 6 - Gordon Central 2. It is always nice when your team starts off good, but it awesome when they just keep getting better. Depth, oh yeah, that's a nice thing too. Maturity, now come on, this is JV you can only hope for so much before your just flat dreaming.

We were late and didn't get to warm up. We hit two half laps and then hit the field. Then we started hitting them and didn't stop. One of the refs felt that it was his job to call the entire field. (when there are two refs it is general custom for one to make the calls on one end and the other to make the calls on the other end)

Well, this see all, know all called tripping in the box on one of my boys. The problem was the infraction occured out side the box and the Tony award winning diver landed inside the box over a yard away. So GC got a pk (penalty kick) which our goalie SAVED. That rocked. I'll only give the details on the highlight calls. This genious ref later gives one of my players a yellow card because the kid he fouled had been fouled too many times. WHAT! Oh and he gave another player a yellow card for turning around and running into the guy behind him. Clutz not Yellow.

Oh and when we did get the call it invariably happened when we had the advantage. (we had the ball, it was under control, and we were going to the goal without immediate challenge). He did that five times.

Well, needless to say we are happy with the out come.

We Did It Again

We won again. It was a struggle seeing how little we've been playing till now. The boys didn't score at all in the first half, like the last game, and this worried me a little. Then we got our shots in and the defense stood strong yet again. Actually one of the shots was a gift. One of my boys took a shot and hit an Armuchee player and bounced the ball in.

We do it all again on Friday at Gordon Central. Everything is just cruising on along elsewise. My class will be making sausage balls today. Don't y'all wish you were up here.

A Little Rain Must Fall

Well, the Elkins household got some not so good news Saturday morning. Ceasar was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia. Lexie is fine and has gotten her shots. We are going to continue as before just adding a little tuna to there diets to keep the protein up. We're not going to fret over it because that just won't do anything for us or Ceasar.

Happier news. I have been through my final observation for the year at school. I have my annual review on 3/14. Then I get my contract and its one big glide into the end of the year.

Last but not least the Varsity team won again on Friday night. 5 - 0 against Lakeview Fort Oglethorpe. My boys play again on Tuesday at Armuchee. That is pronounced Armurchee.

Well we'll talk at ya some more later.
