Wednesday, February 25

4:35 a.m. - One down...four more to go.  Last night, I had a girls game at the Galesburg 3A girls sectional, and the game was lopsided. Washington is really good, and the Panthers were just too much for Ottawa.  That sets up a really good championship game, as Galesburg won the other semifinal.  I get to be the "R" for that game...it should be a fun one.

The day at school went well.  I was able to finish some work that needed to get done, and I got around to complete one round of fidelity checks.  

One thing that didn't happen yesterday - I didn't get an assignment to the state finals.  So now I need to make a decision on getting my left knee worked on, and I believe I think it's best if I get the surgery done as soon as possible.  I don't know if that will be the final decision, but that's the way I'm leaning.

Today is another day at IC Elementary.  And then tonight I have a game at Farmington.  This one might be a tough one.  I'm working with a couple of guys that are different - one I've never worked with.  And the game is between Sherrard and Monmouth-Roseville, which could be a very good game.

Tuesday, February 24

4:50 a.m. - Yesterday was a good day!  I don't get to say that all too much, but I can.  A big accomplishment at school was to get my evaluations done for the teachers in the building.  Each year, those need to be completed by March 1, so that's a big deal each school year.  I had the summative ratings meeting with the staff members I needed to have, and then I got all the paperwork to the district office.  There was no officiating last night, but I did get some officiating news last night.  I received another girls SuperSectional assignment, which is great.  I'm going back to Bureau Valley, which is okay.  I know where I'm going, and it's 1A.  The more exciting news is to get a 1A boys sectional assignment, and that's a step up that I've been hoping for.  Again, it's only 1A, but it's a step in the right direction.  It's always good to get an assignment that's an improvement over the previous year.  Now the only thing to wait for is whether or not I'll be assigned an assignment for the girls state finals.  I really don't think that's going to happen this year, and that's okay.  If I can complete the rest of this season with my health, I will consider it a success.  Now, I just need to decide about surgery on the left knee.  I'll cross that bridge when I find out whether or not I get the state finals assignment.

Today I'll work on more accomplishments at school, and then I have a game at Galesburg tonight.

Monday, February 23

4:40 a.m. - Yesterday wasn't really the day I wanted it to be, but it wasn't a bad day.  I really wanted to get the motivation to get in some type of workout and work my legs, but that didn't happen.  I did get some school work done; I took Amber to the casino; and I did get in a visit to mom and dad.  I also did some reading of my book that I'm enjoying, and I watched some television.  Karrigan and Kollyns were here for a bit, so I helped Kollyns take a nap, and later in the evening I called Caleb too.  So it wasn't a bad day.

Today is a Monday, and it's back to school, and sometimes those can be hard days for students.  I have some things I'd like to get done.  There's no officiating tonight, so that's something to look forward to.
