Saturday, September 12

6:45 a.m.  - Well, apparently the RV guy isn't coming until tomorrow.  So it looks like I'll be watching youth football and youth cheerleading this morning.   Maybe I'll do some mowing after we get back from that.

Yesterday was busy, but productive.  And then last night, we went to the Rockridge football game.  I saw a lot of IC Elementary students.  It was good night to see a lot of students because there was youth cheerleading and all the youth football boys were introduced.  Kollyns spent the night last night, and she and Karrigan and the Harrisons were with us last night too.   The Rockets struggled a bit with Mercer County.  In fact, with a couple of minutes left, Mercer County had a chance to win.  The Rockets lack size, but they have speed and athleticism at the skill positions.

Friday, September 11 - 25 years after 9/11

4:55 a.m. - I was teaching at Geneseo.  It was a very surreal day.  

Yesterday was an okay day.  We got through school; we got through an admin meeting; we got through junior high volleyball.  And then when getting home, I jumped in the van with Amber, and we took Kollyns home, so I got a chance to see her.  Not a bad day.

Today...it's Friday!  Let's get through the day today.  And then I think the Harrisons are coming over, and we are going to the Mercer County vs. Rockridge football game.  

Even though this week has only been four days, it's still been a long week.

Thursday, September 10

4:57 a.m. - Yesterday was okay.  We had our first day with the mission control sessions.  It looked a bit different than I envisioned, but the students seemed to enjoy the experience - at least for the first day.  I also was able to get to a few other things that needed to get done.  Last night I hoped to watch opening night of NFL football, but I couldn't stay awake.  And then I couldn't go back to sleep very well.  

Today will be the second day in a row that we've had a full day of school.  I can't remember the last time that happened.  I had our admin meeting time change, so instead of a morning meeting, I have an afternoon meeting to end the day.  It works out okay for me personally, since I have another junior high volleyball match in Rock Island.
