Monday, March 16

6:14 a.m. - What a storm!  Sheesh.  The winds are howling, and the snow is falling, and there is no school today.  I think about everyone is shut down today.  There is no sense in even trying to do any shoveling until Mother Nature is all through, which may not be until later this afternoon.  So I don't know what I'll be doing today.  Maybe I'll be reading a book.  I suppose I can get on the exercise bike too.  At least for now the power is still on!

Yesterday was okay.  We got a few things done around the house.  We went to the casino and played some slots, and on the way home we stopped by mom and dad's farm.  And then later on baby Kollyns arrived to spend the night.  I watched a little basketball during the day, and the bracket is set for the NCAA basketball tournaments.

Sunday, March 15

6:15 a.m. - I did make a couple of purchases yesterday.  I went ahead and purchased a heater for the spa that we have, and I went ahead and reserved opening camping weekend at Loud Thunder.   What else did I do yesterday?  I mailed out a bill from Northwestern Mutual, and I ate too much food throughout the day, and I watched a lot of basketball - high school boys tournament and some college basketball.  I've now given myself about two weeks to get through a brutal school schedule and the end of basketball officiating season, and the high school season is now over.  It's time, then, to put more effort and focus into slimming down and getting ready for knee surgery in May.  Also yesterday, I watch Sinners, as that was a movie I have been hearing about for awhile and is up for many Academy Awards.  It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, and I found it really good.

And today....rain, thunderstorms, snow, thundersnow, blizzard warning...yes, all of that is supposed to happen.  I'm going to get to mom and dad's at some point, and I will probably watch some college basketball.  I'm not sure what will come at me after that.  Beware the Ides of March!

Saturday, March 14

5:25 a.m. - That week was a doozy.  That may be the busiest work week of the school year.  Yesterday, we had a quick little recognition assembly in the morning for the student council, Rockin Rockets, and the perfect attendance for February.  In the afternoon, there was a presentation by Mrs. Saey and Mrs. Emery.  I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but I think it was an important presentation for all the K-5 staff to be a part of.  When I got home, I watched the Illini lose, which was a bummer, and then Iowa State lost, which was another bummer.  

Today....hmmm...what am I going to do today?  I'd like to watch the IHSA championship games.  And that's about it.  I may visit mom and dad.  Amber may have plans.  I know there is no officiating and there are no youth games to watch.  I do want to watch the news and see the latest on the big snowstorm that is supposed to arrive.  I could reserve my camping spot at Loud Thunder, and I could send out some payments.  I've got some clothes to put away and my basketball officiating clothes to put away.  I'd also like to get in some exercise.  I could purchase that Saluspa heater too.
