FARCH?

It was a long day and kind of ugly. With a high of 47, it seemed kind of warm outside, but I felt cold all day. Monika got me up around 5:30AM for soccer practice. I had hoped to swim during lunch but skipped out in favor of eating lunch with my friends. I had a student steal an iPod during my 7th hour which got me all pissy with my class. The kid turned it in after I told him I was taking the matter to administration. I was glad it ended well, but hate that kids can't just leave stuff alone. I volunteered to help in the consession stand after school today before Jessi's game, so I only had a bit of time to run out to pick up Balt from daycare and get him and Monika home before getting back to school. The game was awful until the 4th quarter when a few of the girls seemed to get fired up and start scoring. The effort was way too late but at least it got the score up to less embarassing numbers. Jessi and I both came home exhausted but Jessi came home to a ton of homework and studying to do. I felt bad for her. At the game one of my teacher friends called this time of the year, "Farch" --the time between February and March that is ugly, Everyone is weary of winter and ready for spring and while the weather is warming up, it's still cold and wet. Basketball is gearing down, soccer and track is eager to start (oh, and baseball/softball too, but I'm not really into those sports... sorry Stacy).
