Thursday.
Tomorrow is Ashlyn's birthday. My daughter will be 11 years old! What a sweet and wonderful person she is. She is such a servant. Wow!
The best thing that happened today was that I had a lot of energy and a clear mind. I did not take any ibuprofen or other medicine for my muscles yesterday either. I was very energetic and creative in the classroom today. I had many ideas to share with my student teacher as to how to present lessons in a fun way or how to modify your assignment plans to adjust to the 90 minute period.
The worst thing that happened today is that Ashlyn found out that one of her friends could not come over tomorrow for her birthday party. That made me sad because we did not plan the party very far in advance so Ashlyn's friend had already made other plans. That made me feel like a lame parent. I feel like Ashlyn is so obedient and we take her blessings so casually. We tell her all the time what a blessing she is but I think she should have a big party thrown for her honor to let her know what a big deal she is to us.

Today was Friday.
I woke up tired today and was a little sluggish most of the day.
I planned for my classes from about 7:45 AM until 8:15 AM by reading my textbook for presentation ideas and how to approach the written exercises. I then went and had a voice lesson with Mrs. Gee at the church our choir teacher at the school. The lesson lasted until close to 9 AM. I played my guitar and sang and the piano as well. It was a difficult lesson because it felt like I wasn't doing much right. I still think my teacher is the best though.
I then ran over to Donna's Kindergarten room and performed Jonas No Hizo Caso in Spanish and English with my guitar and voice. They liked it and it was fun to see the expressions on their faces. I then went to the K-4 room and performed the same song for them as well. They were as cute as could be.
I went back to the high school made some copies and then began second period. I had a new student in my Spanish I class. They did not do their warm-ups as quietly and a well as I had hoped. I took off point for lack of participation when a couple of the students were not able to translate some basic sentences correctly for me from the warm up sheet. While we were going over the warm-up I had two students that decided to totally ignore me and carry on a full fledged conversation. I got very upset and told them that what they were doing was pure bologna. When I came back to the strict zone in five minutes I apologized to the class for being so upset and explained to them why I was so.
Third period went well with my Spanish II & III class. We all got quite tired today but we pushed on ahead. Lunch was welcome. Guitar class in fourth period went well. I used an overhead transparency of music and had some of the students count the timing out on the projection. Duty lasted 30 minutes after that class.
We came home. I took a nap for an hour. I went to SFI to play music. I ended up playing the drum kit. I listened to Davy Ramsey on the way home. I am now sitting on the side of my bed with Midnight, my dog, getting a treat from my wife. Ashlyn is also laying down in the king size bed. We got Ashlyn's report card today. She got straight A's, eight of them. I owe her $10 per A. I am very proud of all her hard work. She is my special.

Today was Saturday.
In the morning at breakfast I spent from 9 AM until 12 PM scanning through 600 songs from my Praise & Worship Fake book. I made some lists of what songs would be good for each of my worship leaders, Peter, Brandi, Michael & Patti.
I took Donna to Mr. Gaddis for lunch.
I took Matthew to Guitar Center after my nap.
I picked up Ashlyn from her friend Lizzy's house and we stopped by the church for an hour from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM and made copies of the music and set up the stage.
