Feburary is shot

With only a couple days left in February, I realized I hadn't checked in for a while. I spent Valentines weekend in Sacramento CA at my soccer Section meetings. Had a really great time. Spent about 9 hours driving down and back with 2 people on the board that I didn't know very well before we left. It was fun watching as the enthusiasm from the meetings moved into Christine and Lisa. They are so gung-ho now to do fund raising and trainings. We get started tomorrow evening at our first board meeting of the year.

The trimester is almost over for Elin. So far, 2 weeks has been cut from the end of the school year moving the last day of school from June to May 28th. The budget is at 1.1 mil in the hole so far this school year, no idea where it will end at, they are expecting to be something like 3 mil in the hole by the end of the year. Its really sad that neighboring schools are raising funds for our students to be able to have spring sports and compete. All of the coaches are going to volunteer their time for the track for both boys and girls.

Good night, sleep tight

Time Flies

Time flies when your working hard. Here it is already Feb. I leave Thursday to go to Sacramento CA for the Section 2 AYSO conferences. Section meetings are always a good way to start the soccer season. I'm driving down with 2 other women, about a 10 hour drive. Can't wait to meet up with other Oregon AYSO people who attend. The only bad thing is that the weather is not cooperating. Its started snowing all over the state again today. Driving conditions may no be very good.

We are getting ready to schedule registration dates and get the 2009 season underway. At least this year I'm not having to do all of it by my self. I've got 2 board members for treasurer and registration so I'm feeling very good with very little pressure.

I bought a new scanner yesterday. a ScanWizard5 with the slide and negative strip attachment. Played with it a while last night and scanned the picture of Elin from the 2008 season.



Haven't tried slides or strips yet, have too much going on to get ready to go. Todd left yesterday to work in Washington state. He should be home tonight. Doesn't look like I'll make the PEO meeting tonight.

Time to get E out of bed. I've called her once with only a groan. Now I'm going to have to turn on the light I won't really do it. She use to wake to excited about going to school and would have a huge smile on her face. This year, she is grumpy and lumpy and no fun till after breakfast, if then. Have a really good day today.
