Fighting Mad
Topic: Joe
Joe got into an altercation at school yesterday. Another kid swiped the charger for his laptop. Joe alerted security, but they said something to the effect that were not allowed to search kids bookbags or lockers. They had some words in one of the classes and a teacher had to seperate them and sent Joe to the library.
The other kid was like 4 inches taller than Joe. Joe got himself pumped up and then walked up to him at lunch time and punched him in the face. They then wrestled around and Joe was able to get in another uppercut. When the guys friends stood up, Joe's friends stood up so that they knew to stay out of it. Security broke the fight up and I guess the other students in the lunchroom stood up and cheered. Joe's friends thought that he got the better of the other kid.
I told Joe that he did the right thing, that you can't let other kids take advantage of you like that or they will just keep running you over. Unfortunately when you retaliate, you have to be ready to take the heat. Joe is suspended for 5 days for starting the fight, the other kid for 3 days. Life isn't always fair.
On the other hand, Joe is going on his first real date with Julia this weekend (no chaparone), so the young warrior gets a reward of sorts.
Chelsea is doing a great job as an assistant coach. If she had the time, I think that she would make a great head coach. But with school, etc. it is hard for her to find the time it would take to dedicate herself to a program. Sinclair is winding down for winter break, so she will have some free time.
Vanessa is ready for Turkey day tomorrow. Poor Elaina is sick. So Vanessa has take a couple of days off of work to nurse her back to heath. Hopfully she is better by the time everyone arrives. Joe is running an ice route with Eric so that he can home early to help out.
I worry about Chad. The city of Dayton is doing layoffs. He is working for the city of Riverside and they are not doing any better budgetwise.
With my future uncertain as well, I am handcrafting some gifts in the workshop. Trying to keep that Christmas budget low.
