Friday, February 13

4:44 a.m. - Yesterday was a long one, but it was a win.  The second grade students went to a Quad City Storm game, and for the most part, it went fine.  Then we had an intense game at Rock Island last night with Galesburg (girls) getting upset at Rocky.

Today...half day...Valentine's Day Party...just survive.  And then tonight, we have FS/V boys at Orion.  The only problem with that is that the opponent is Rockridge.  (No rest for the wicked.)

I didn't sleep well at all last night...I'd like to get home and get a nap today before the games.

Thursday, February 12

4:53 a.m. - Yesterday was busy, but it was also productive.  I had no student discipline issues to deal with, which was very nice.  Then we traveled to Abingdon to work one game in the LTC girls tournament, which wasn't much of a game.  That was the last regular season 1A/2A game of the season  Now there is one 3A/4A game tonight, and then I have the post season to work.  

Today, the second grade goes to a Quad City Storm game.  This will be an adventure.  Then we work a Rock Island girls game tonight,which will also be an adventure.  Bring on the adventure!

Wednesday, February 11

5:12 a.m. - Yesterday was another survival day.  One student had a challenging day, but we worked through that.  We got through a before school staff meeting, something that I still think is dumb.  We also got through officiating last night without any problems.  

Today, I hope it's just a repeat.  Get through the day, get through officiating in Abingdon, and get home to bed.
