Oct 30th: 3:30 A.M. SAT. MORNING

Xavier and I enjoyed the football game. Feel that Coach Sean, Coaches & Players are doing their best- life is full of adjustments--- everyone is coming together-- we will be stronger next year.

So thrilled with all the dancers, helpers, band, parents support group & the great turkey legs.

As in any activity--we have to keep knocking on the door. Success comes to those to keep making the effort.

Special thanks to Coach Lang for bringing Halloween cookies, candy and drinks to the players 7th period--a special treat. Ja Marcus, La Shaun, Rachel and Ruben put in a good two hours working out before the football game-- Coach Hrncir had lots of help after school. I kept busy connecting screens that had blown down Thursday with the high wind, cutting grass around the courts and visiting with all the folks around me.

We have our first ever Fall Tennis Tournament Thursday at CE King---- Had two new girls bring all UIL paperwork today--sisters and will add alot to our crew.

Coach Hal is getting bids to resurface our tennis courts--- I have had many promises over the years------Feel that it will be done this school year.

This is my 39th year in education-- planning to go at least one more year-----40 is a good number to retire on----- but it will be difficult to leave my players--- time will tell.

WE LEAVE THE COURTS AT 7:00 A.M. THURSDAY MORNING: INVITE PARENTS-- GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP--GET PERMISSION FORMS TO COACH H SIGNED BY PARENTS AND TEACHERS---SEE YOU AT PRACTICE MONDAY, TUES. AND WED.-- IF ALL THIS RAIN SLOWS DOWN.

Oct. 24th: 2:30 a.m.: We were rained out Wed.

Thursday was a relaxed practice and players stayed after school Friday on their own.

Sara Williamson and I went to the Wake of a special teacher who passed. Mrs. L. Simms was a Homemaking teacher in NFISD for over 30 years and a very special person. We deeply appreciate all that she accomplished in her years of dedication to the education of our children.
Many old and new friends honored her Friday night--a blessing to be loved.

Friday, I was called to the office-- took Jonathan and Krystal-- in case it was about a tournament that I want to attend on the 5th of Nov. The announcer, J. Jermany, read the announcements and finished with a kind tribute to the teacher of the year-(Me)- the first official Bulldog yearbook signed by the staff of North Forest High School-- I said a few words and I was deeply touched by this honor. I am very blessed to be a part of the NFHS family. The last 36 years have been packed with many adventures and blessing.

Thank You for being a big part of my experiences & adventures.

Monday is a make up day for Galena Park-- taking new kids-- to play for fun-- after we finish official matches-----Also, we have a tournament Nov 5th at CE King-- Bringing all players----you should have received paperwork today-- otherwise see me Monday.

Special thanks to all the folks who stayed today---doing what it takes to improve and strive towards our best.

Don't forget--we are all going to last football game this Friday-- Our tennis team is pictured in the official program--wear shirts and jeans----we will be going together. Details to follow.

Contact me if there are any questions---- the time is flying. The first semester is half over-- so hard to believe. Coach Lang and I are looking forward to Newks in December.

October 21st: 1:00 a.m.

We played Goose Creek Memorial Monday and it was a great experience. We did our best and our guys, Ja Marcus and Jonathan lost a hard fought tie breaker. Learning experiences.

Coach Dutchover use to be in GP and he is a super person who makes everyone feel special and accepted. Parents had a little snack area and we had plenty of bottled water due to Coach Lang and her her many friends.

Athletics is giving us a page for last Football Game--- Game Booklet. We took lots of photos and even the photo man loved the tennis courts at Goose Creek--- brand new and top of the line.

Practice went well Oct. 20th-- lots of new folks. Joshua came out and took over for Coach H and her shoulder is much better tonight. Make up with GP Monday and we have accepted a tournament Nov. 4th at King-- busy-- busy time.

Hope to have new photos is Library tomorrow.l

October 16th: BUSY WEEK

No matches this week due to a Bye--- which was good.

We play Memorial: Goose Creek Monday and the following Monday is a make up with G.P. There has been too much rain this Fall Season.

TODAY WAS HOMECOMING AND WE WERE TOLD THAT KIDS COULD GET IN FREE WITH GAME SHIRT ON-- That did not happen and many were disappointed. I am sorry-- I had planned to stay, but my husband got locked out of the house taking out trash ( He never takes out trash) I had to head to the house and then I was so exhausted that I fell asleep. Finally got the kids calls, but it was too late. Life always has it's surprises.

We have accepted an invitation to King Tournament Nov. 4th: It is a JV and Freshman Tournament, but the director said that I could bring all my kids. He knows that 75% are beginners. Also, we want to get pictures this Monday for yearbook and Football Games.

Life is never boring.
