Michael Vick pleaded guilty to running dog fights. I am having trouble getting my mind around this one. He was making millions of dollars for doing something he obviously loves to do. He was one of the most famous and popular players in the NFL--(I know that because Isaiah has two Michael Vick shirts in his drawer.) He has a very impressive bio which, if you are bored, you can read by clicking here! He and his three siblings actually were raised by a single mom in a housing project in Newport News, Virginia. He came a long way. God blessed him immensely with his talents. My question is, "Why in the world would he waste his time making dogs fight each other?" I'd have to think it couldn't be for the money because he had a lot of that. I'd have to think it couldn't be because he was bored, because he seems like a busy person. So I really can't figure this one out. I really don't care if has to go to jail or not. I really don't care if he has to pay fines or not. I really don't care if his sentences is reduced because he pleaded guilty. I just don't "get" it.

I worked football camp again today. The senior football players had a long talk with the underclassmen today about their work ethic and non-motivational levels. (if that is a word--)
Anyway, I was very proud of Jordan and the other seniors for stepping up and addressing some of the things that were going on over there.

I finished my classroom. This has to be a new record. I basically have everything done except one thing--which I will worry about next week. I can't believe it is time to go back to school!

Jordan brought home a nasty cold from football camp. Isaiah caught it next and he has been pitiful. Now Corynne and I have caught it and Corynne is MAD at her brothers. Everytime she sneezes and snot comes out of her nose, she gets mad and fusses at Jordan and Isaiah. It is hilarious. I bought her her own box of cough drops, so she is a little bit happier now.
