Tuesday, March 3

5:17 a.m. - I survived yesterday.  We got through the school day.  We got through yesterday's Supersectional game at Bureau Valley.  It was a great game; Wethersfield lost when they missed a last second shot.  Like usual, it was interesting to work with an official I've never worked with.  I did feel very comfortable working the game, though.  

Tonight is my last game of the season - a boys sectional game at United.  I hope to get through the day, get through the night, and then move on to Wedensday.

Monday, March 2

4:51 a.m. - It's a Monday.  I didn't even get in a post yesterday, and I didn't realize it.  I was on Day 2 of some sort of cold that I picked up somehow.  I had hoped to get some exercise in yesterday, but I was pretty much wiped out.  I just stayed in and rested.

I still slept pretty well last night, so I guess I needed the rest.  

Today it's back to work, and we are waking up to snow on the ground.  And Kevin Phelps is saying it's going to be a gloomy, cloudy, rainy week this week.  It's not exactly going to be a picture perfect weather week.  I have a girls Supersectional game tonight, which will be fun, but it will also make it a long week.  It's a 6 p.m. start.

In other news, the U.S. decided to join Israel and bomb Iran over the weekend.  Despite everyone saying that attempting to create regime change doesn't usually work well, we are doing it again.  Sheesh.

Saturday, February 28

9:35 a.m. - Yesterday...attended a good PD experience at the ROE Principals' Roundtable.  Got through a RR PD experience at AES, including a meeting about a revised plan for kindergarten next school year.  And then we got through an awesome regional final boys game at Farmington between Farmington and Sherrard.  That was a busy day yesterday!

Today we have Kollyns, and we are going to go watch some youth basketball at the Aledo YMCA.  And then...well...I don't know, but as I've said many times, I'm sure something will find me.
