Saturday, March 7

5:49 a.m. - Yesterday wasn't horrible.  It was Friday, and we got some rain.  I did have to deal with a friend that tied me up in my office, and I did scurry around and try to get some things done in the building before getting tired down after lunch recess.  Last night Amber and I went to the casino, ate at the buffet, lost money on the slot machines and then came home and crashed in bed pretty early. 

Today we are going to youth basketball games at the YMCA in Aledo, and I think I might try to get in a little workout.  And then the rest of the day, I'm not sure.  Like all other weekends, I'm sure something will find me.  I think Amber has some little jobs to complete, but I don't know what happens after that.  I heard something about some grandchildren coming over.  I would like to watch some of the girls IHSA championship games.  Two of the teams still playing I saw during the postseason.

Friday, March 6

5:18 a.m. - Yesterday wasn't awful.  I know that's not a very positive description, but any day that's not awful is a pretty good day.  I had a lengthy admin meeting followed by another admin meeting, which could have made life at IC Elementary not fun, but when I got back to school, there wasn't a long line of problems that I needed to address.  And then when I got home, I watched some of the girls basketball tournament.  I definitely need to lose weight, so I can possibly work a state finals event moving as fast as possible on the court and "looking the part."

Today is Friday, finally.  It's going to be a rainy day, but we need the rain.  I'd just like to get to the end of the day and have a couple of days off.  I think tonight is supposed to be a "date night".

Thursday, March 5

4:57 a.m. - I got some sleep last night, which was nice.  Yesterday, I was able to accomplish some things, and we got through the day missing some staff again.  I didn't have any games last night, so after school I went to the farm and got some hay down.  Mom wasn't there, so I visited with Dad.  Then I came home and watched some high school boys basketball on NFHS.  It was a nice eventing just to relax.

Today...survival mode.  Get through the day, which includes an admin meeting and then another admin meeting.  I fear the meetings won't produce much of anything that more things I need to try to accomplish.  Then this afternoon...still no basketball!  I miss it, but I'm relieved to have some time off.  Now I'm just needing to get some rest and get my brain and mind set to get some exercise and start trying again to lose some weight.  I am feeling positively relieved and accomplished after this season - I was able to get healthier, I was able to complete all my game assignments, and I was able to be assigned another SuperSectional in girls and got my first sectional game in boys.  If for some odd reason I'm no longer able to continue officiating next season, I will have had a good final season.
