Friday, February 20

4:09 a.m. Yesterday at school I was able to get some things done, and that was after I went to an elementary admin meeting.  And then I rode with Tony to A-Town to work a 1A Girls Regional Championship game.  The game went fine.  Most importantly during the day, I received a Girls Sectional assignment, and it's one of the toughest sectionals, if not the toughest sectional, in the state.  And then I found out that Bryan Sullivan is at least one of my partners.  That is all good news!  I worked with Bryan last night at A-Town, and I've worked with him before, and he's a good dude and good official.  So next week will be fun - four more post season games.  And the post-season is what makes all the hours, work, travel, and time during the season worthwhile  

Today I hope to get more work done, and then I need to get over to Galva for another 1A Girls Regional Championship game.  This game should be a little closer than last night.

Thursday, February 19

4:41 a.m. - Yesterday was another day of having to substitute in an elementary classroom, and I'm not very good at being an elementary teacher.  The good news was that I didn't have any officiating, and Amber returned back home after her nice weekend in Florida.  She did say the weather wasn't as warm and sunny as she had hoped.  

Today, I'd just like to have a normal day at school that I can actually just be in my role as principal.  Unfortunately, I also have some type of admin meeting.  I likely won't have much of a role to play, but I will attend and listen and take notes of things I need to accomplish to assist the admin team.

I do head to Abingdon tonight for a Girls Regional Championship game.  I do get to ride with Tony, so that will be good.

Wednesday, February 18

6:15 a.m. - Yesterday was awful at school.  Once again, I demonstrated that I'm not an effective elementary teacher.  Fortunately, we got through yesterday's basketball games at the Galva Regional.  That should be the final time I have two games in one night this season  

Today...I just wish I can have a decent day at school.  Amber is scheduled to arrive home this evening, and I don't have any games tonight.
