January 28th, 2010

Tournament at Barber Hill and surrounding area.

Ja Marcus won first and Xavier got a good sportsmanship award.

Krystal played hard and strong--- lost after winning 3 matches and with a twisted knee.

Tried to make it home before buses---- but the traffic was terrible.

Coach Lang used a newer bus----- had so many gadgets--- glad I stopped driving a bus over a year ago-- with the new computers--- would not go anywhere.

Mr. Adams said that my classes were good to him and just a few did not come back after lunch. He left me those names.

Practice this weekend--- we practice one day--Monday and and then we have a local tournament--- Tues-- at C.E. King---- the time will be flying till the end of May-----especially looking forward to district and Bob and Mike--- hope that you are keeping up with their progress-- rocking tennis.

HAPPY M.L.K. DAY TOMORROW

This is the day that I get my yearly physical-- therefore ,I don't have to miss school (70 sick days stored up) and I can't forget.

Jan. 28th is our first spring tournament--we need to leave at 6:30a.m. to make trip to Barbers Hill. It is also the day that my husband and our son will be in DC for a brief photo with President Obama. Sean is moving from the unit that protects with the chopper-- to explosives tech. This is a type of token appreciation for his service---Robt. will be the parent with him.

I tease that he is going because I am teacher of the year and cannot NOT go to a tennis tournament--- have not missed in over ten years---never, even when I was home with surgery-- I came to school to take the players to tournaments.

Life has many great adventures.

So thankful to be alive and to be able to appreciate my life, family, kids, grand kids , Health students and NFHS Tennis players.

I am blessed beyond my dreams.

Jamie & Jay were on the courts Thursday afternoon

Dedicated
Called off practice Thursday due to required meeting--
Jamie and Jay were on the courts--dodging the water puddles
Of course, I had to find them snacks and water.
Received by new cell phone from Sprint yesterday--- ( no phone for 3 days)
Sprint is a good company-- you just have to wait and wait and wait.( One hour plus and depends on who you get-- whether they are concerned)
Contract is up in a year---may need another company.
We wll try to start up again Monday---first tournament Jan. 28th -- We have 7 tournaments this spring season and we have a full team-- have lots of guys-- the girls are seven. I will be giving your names to counselors in April-- to place you in 7th period next year-- My 7th period Athletics is my traveling period.

BE CAREFUL COMING TO SCHOOL TODAY----- 23 DEGREES.

January 6th: Welcome Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had two great practice sessions Tues. and Wed.( WE ARE HAVING VERY COLD WEATHER COMING INTO HOUSTON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY)

Wed. I talked to each group about our spring UIL Tennis Tournaments.
Importance of keeping grades up and good relationship with your teachers and parents. They have to allow you to travel and you have to be responsible for you grades and TAKS Scores. Of course, we are looking forward to district in April and Bob and Mike coming to Houston for the Clay Court Championships at River Oaks. We have our shirts ready and we are ready to cheer.

The next four months are going to be going at a fast pace. Get ready for a great adventure.
