Homecoming week

We have homecoming week next week. Its always kind of fun because each day has a different theme to dress up for. I get to wear all camo tomorrow and my riding gear Tuesday for future career day....because there is only one thing I would love to do more than teaching and that is to race motocross for a living. However, now I can do that all summer long next year so I have my cake and I'm eating it to! Also, what is funniest of all, Thursday is "teacher look alike day". There are already 9 students that have dyed their hair blond in the middle to be like me, I'm loving it! That is, at least till 9 pissed off moms call asking why they're sons had their hair dyed blond instead of using the 10 dollars they gave them to get a haircut.

I think it is really cool that the kids want to look like you. You have much respect. Explaining to moms, now that's a different story. I hope your homecoming went better than ours. They make the whole process so complicated and each year there is drama with the homecoming court. I also hope that you guys won. It's really embarrassing to lose homecoming as we did. Anyway, I hope all is well.
