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.

Friday, March 13

4:50 a.m. - Yesterday was another busy one, as the entire week has been.  I spent the morning at Andalusia Elementary conducting Biztown interviews with 5th grade students.  This is something that at least I enjoy!  Then it was back to IC Elementary to take care of things and put out fires there, which included having to supervise a student in my office for the afternoon.  Then there were lots of grandchildren at our house for the evening.  I did watch some of the IHSA boys basketball tournament and a little of the Big Ten Tournament.

Today is Friday the 13th.  It's a half day and that means professional development.  It's pay day.  And apparently we are already on a winter storm watch for Sunday - WHAT?  Kevin Phelps just hinted at 6 inches of snow and a blizzard warning - WHAT?  Sheesh.  Survive the day...get to the weekend, and then maybe a snow day on Monday.  Weather life is never dull in West Central Illinois!

Thursday, March 12

5:07 a.m. - Yesterday was another busy, event -filled day.  But now I have some direction.  First, I had my evaluation with Mr. Bush, and he gave me some things to accomplish.  Next, I went to see Dr. Hussein, and within a couple of hours, I had a date set for surgery on the left knee, which is May 4.  So now I have that date set and can plan a variety of things - including camping weekends in April and ordering a couple of months of membership at the Aledo YMCA to work on getting some exercise.  And at the end of the day there was another meeting about a student.

Today I have some interviews of students at AES - their Biztown interviews.  At least that might be something that doesn't require me to do anything afterwords as a result of the event.  And the weather?  Yuck.  It's going to be cold and winter like!  Is it Friday yet?
