The Next 6 Weeks Could Be the End of Me!

Today proved to me how difficult it is going to be to deal with my students for the rest of the year. I only have 17 students and one was absent, but I still had 13 students in detention today...13! All for not having a form signed (that they need to have signed every Monday) and a open magazine quiz, that they should have finished on Friday. AHHHHHHHH!
The weather is continually getting nicer and nicer and the students are getting more and more unmotivated! Is it May 30th yet ;-)

Mercy Me and Todd Agnew

On Friday I was able to go a concert by Mercy Me and Todd Agnew at the Nellis Air Force Base. It was pretty amazing to be listening to music and worshiping God and at the same time watching jets fly overhead and land right behind the stage.
Take some time today to pray for and thank the men and women who have and are giving their time and lives to serve and protect the nation that we call home, without them we wouldn't enjoy the freedom we live with.

Passing out at Softball :-)

So I am really excited to be joining the Summit Ridge Church softball team for the summer...well actually spring. Our first game will be this next Saturday...kinda strange for me to adjust to since it is still early April. Anyways..onto the story.
Sunday the March 30th was our very first practice. The day was windy and rainy, and I almost opted out of practice...but being the dedicated player I am I went. Bad idea!
I was playing third base right away, we were fielding batting practice. One of the guys on our team was batting, and hitting extremely hard. I went for a line drive straight at my shin, but missed and was nailed right on my left chin. Being the prideful person that I am, I just walked it off and got back into position. After a few more hits, I felt it getting pretty sore and tight, so I looked at it and it was swelling up pretty bad and had a little cut...no biggie right, so I kept on playing.
After a few more hits, I looked at it again, and it was twice as big and the cut was getting bigger as my leg swelled. Here is where the panic set in. I realized that I should get some ice, and was panicked that maybe something more was wrong. I told Kim our first baseman to get me some ice and I went to the bench cuz I was shaking and a little dizzy. I told her I was pretty sure I was going to pass out and sat down and put my head on my knees...That's the last thing I remember until I woke up as they were laying me down on the bench.
So it is a softball practice I will never forget and I am pretty sure I will have the scar to prove it :-) The drama never fails to follow me at least a little bit.
