I was walking out of Alta High School where I had been to watch Cortney's ball game.  Russ and Spencer were there too.  The game was a pretty close one but in the end Cortney's team was the better team and ended up winning by more then 10 points.  As I was walking down the hallway some folks who had been cheering for the opposition were leaving too.  I was not impressed by their attitude or their conversation.  It seemed that they believed that the game was decided by the refs and not the players.  I was tempted to say something, but I knew that it wasn't worth it.  I used to think that I could persuade others with my arguments, especially when I was pretty sure that I was right.  But I know now that being right or what is true has little to do with some people's view of life.  I try not to judge them, but they make it so easy when the act stupid like that.  It would seem that they go through life blaming everything on everyone else and do not take any kind of responsibility for themselves.  In the end I just feel sorry for them.  I would rather take more responsibility then I should then not take enough.I hope that we have taught our children that truth.  I believe that we have.  I know that we have. That concept is my thought for the day.  I believe that successful people feel responsible for their own lives and I believe that our kids are pretty good  examples of living that way.

Russ showed me a text that he had received for Nicholas in Florida.  It say that he felt that their presentation had gone well, but that they won't know the results until tomorrow. I found a comment from Nicholas about Sheila job.For his information she is a 'nutrition something' not a 'lunch lady' and she has been training at the Crescent View Middle School, but could end up on an given day at any school in the Canyons School District.  It is only a part time substitute gig and she can control when she works.  Her first day (last Friday) she brought me home part of a sandwich.  I expected the same today, but it is against the rules so I guess I won't be seeing that again.  All I care is that she has fun and feels good about being a working mother.
