Finally Friday

Another week has come and gone. (and not too quickly I might add)

Joe is still at his mom's on bedrest. She really enjoys having someone there to taek care of. We really need to get her a dog. He says he feels better today and is thinking about trying to come home tonight. I think he should stay there another night. He is getting very restless just laying around. Poor man!

The kids are both feeling much better. Thank goodness.

Mason got a letter home from the principal yesterday. He told me about getting this letter but he didn't open. I asked him to open it and read it to me. He was very nervous. The letter just said that he (the prinicpal) had heard that Mason's grades were up and that he was very proud of him and to keep up the good work and to finish the year strong.

A lot of people aren't real fond of our principal (due to his past teaching positions at other schools). I think he is a decent person. He taught my son to enjoy basketball and how to play and not be too competitive but to enjoy the game win or lose. He has taken an active interest in the students. I know that he personally writes the notes to the kids giving them praise for their hard work. I think he learned from his mistakes at his previous teaching position and is a better person for it. He is visible in the school and at the activities. He brings his wife and kids with him to sporting events (even though his kids attend a different school).

Needless to say, I was very proud of Mason for stepping it up. He has worked real hard and so has his teachers with helping him to become more organized (cuz he sure doesn't get that from me!).

Well, gotta get busy with work......Have a great weekend in case I'm unable to check in before Monday.
