Ella's House-View from the Net

This past weekend marked the beginning of our soccer games.  Ella played in a tournament in Dallas, GA (which is not too far from the Alabama border!) Ella started in net, in her goalie position.  She is so cute in there....trying to look tough. Before every game, I tell El, "Don't let anyone in your house." She gives me the thumbs up.  She played the first half of both of her games in the net, allowing 1 goal.  A tribute to her and her defense. They make a really good team. She passed to team mates from the net.  Twice, this resulted in assists.  She played forward in the second half of the game....displaying some sweet foot work. Her coach encouraging, "get the ball to Unger!" She scored twice. Not bad for a goalie. Unfortunately, the second day of the tournament was rained out.  The team was going into the second day in first place-geared to take home a trophy.  It is only the beginning though.  Many more games to be played and a tournament on tap for next weekend.  Here are some Ella shots :)

I've Got Spirit, YES I DO!

My schedule today: work by 7:25 (with two out of the three children). Interim IEP meeting at 7:45.  From 8:30-11:30-testing for 2nd graders (reading fluency) and Kindergarten (letter naming). Break for lunch (30m). Back at 12 for 1st grade-letter sounds, letter naming, nonsense words, and reading passages (mind you, I can recite all of the reading passages by heart). Finished at 2:50 pm, did some busy work at my desk and checking emails until I picked up the kids from the after school program. Went to Primrose School to see a private kiddo for speech -kids back in car to drop Ella off for goalie training.  Max and I opened up the Spirit Wear store, where I volunteer every Wednesday for 2 hours.  No WiFi, so I can't do work or blog, so I old schooled it on a notepad. Also coordinated soccer games for September, October, and November, since we got soccer schedules-I color coded.  It looks like a rainbow nightmare.  So it is 9:42pm. I had a bagel with tomato and cucumber for dinner with a glass of vino.  Looking toward to another full day tomorrow.....

My view ....

My partner-he tells me when someone steals something, I'll run after them. I'll do my boxing moves.  (he looks really invested)

Old schooling it.....

Color coding, but missing Max's blue....his schedule isn't out yet!

The End of my 365

I gave it a good shot....I made it 176 days. I would have liked to make it at least half of the year, but I didn't make it.  So for 176 days I added a picture to the blog.  Something that represented my day/time at that moment.  It was a good run.  Around the time school let out (when I SHOULD have had time to load a picture a day) is when I dropped the ball.  So while I won't stop taking pictures, I have stopped linking them to my 365 blog.
