Oh, the Fun!

Sally had her last basketball game this weekend (unless her and I go to State). Mrs L and Mrs B attended and Sally just LIT up when she saw them!!!! When and if you talk about public school teachers - come sit by me and let me tell you how WRONG you are!!!





Sal has picked Charles Barkley as her Black History project and though I'm very sure "Sir" Charles is a lovely human being in person - I'm not finding all that much that *I* find historical about him. I mean, he's a lot like most of us - didn't make his HS team and fought back plus fought his weight and stature all his life. But he, himself, said that sports players should not be role models and I have to agree with him.





I found he has spit on people (not that they didn't deserve it ) and I'm not sure THAT's a real piece of history. He only went to college for 3 years. Again - not the best influence for a report. Just recently he rec'd a DUI and has announced that he will run for Governor of Alabama in 2014. Now IF he does become Governor - I do believe he will be the first African American to hold that office in Alabama. But other than than - I'm really not finding the big historical making stuff say like Harriet Tubman, Eli Whitney, Malcolm, heck even Harry Bontifelli. So, I'm not sure what Sal's going to speak on. Maybe we'll have to speak on the fact that we all make history, even in our bad behavior. ????





Jack is having some difficulty in school lately - nothing major - just some sliding grades and I think he's 1. rushing 2. pre-occupied and 3. lazy. So Daddy and I are going to nip that in the bud as best as we can starting tonight. He's not thrilled - but we explained that school is #1 and if he's needing a little help wrestling needs to come AFTER we get some practice done.



Day off today - it started at 5:45 a.m. Ugghhh. Why doesn't Sal get the meaning of "sleeping in?"
