Tuesday, March 10

4:41 a.m.  - I survived yesterday, but it wasn't easy - two meetings at school, a student that had to be contained in my office, and then a BOE meeting which required me staying in part of the closed session.  Today isn't going to be easy, and neither is tomorrow.  On the other hand, maybe yesterday was the worst day of the week, and it's over.  

So let's get on towards today.  There is a staff meeting after school today, but there is a weather forecast of storms after school.  I think either way, my life is going to be stormy after school - perhaps in two ways.

Monday, March 9

4:58 a.m. - Let the week begin..it could be challenging.  Yesterday was productive.  I was able to accomplish everything I had envisioned, and I had a nice visit with mom and dad.   I got the mattress back into the camper and checked on it...no mice to be seen as far as I could tell (knock on wood).  And I did get in a leg workout, so I got my exercise in I was hoping for.  Finally, I ate well (healthy).  

So today I have meetings at school, and then I have a BOE meeting tonight.  Survive and advance!  It's warm right now, so at least that will be something nice for the students to be able to get outside.

Sunday, March 8

7:38 a.m. - We lost an hour of sleep last night.  So now it's going to be darker in the morning and stay lighter in the evening.  Bring on baseball and softball practices!

Yesterday was good.  We went to a couple of youth basketball games, came home and relaxed for a bit after getting out some Easter decorations, and completing a couple other projects.  In between the youth games watching Brooklyn and Brinley, I had a chance to get on the elliptical at the YMCA, and that was awesome.  I need to try to do that some more.  I watches some basketball yesterday afternoon, and then the Harrison's spent some time with us in the evening and we played some Uno and Old Maid.  I also did a good job of eating yesterday, which was nice.

I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow, so I need to really enjoy today and get some things done I would like to do.  I want to get a few things done in the camper.  I also want to get some exercise in.  I also want to visit mom and dad.  Beyond that, I'm good.  

This week is going to be a rough one, but I hope it's going to be a good one.  Monday, I have meetings at school, and then there is a BOE meeting, and I have a student presentation to complete.  On Tuesday I have a staff meeting after school, and I need to try to communicate some items that won't be popular.  And then on Wednesday, I have my evaluation with Mr. Bush and then I have a consultation/evaluation on my left knee with Dr. Hussein at ORA.  So yes, next week is a big week.
