Sunday, August 9

6:25 a.m. - It's Sunday morning, it's quiet, and I don't have to be anywhere or do anything for at least a few hours. Sheesh. This is nice. Unfortunately my body is still recovering from Friday's "beverages" and "bicycling", so that's a learning lesson. Yesterday I survived a vollebyall officiating clinic at Galesburg, and then Darren picked me up and Darren, me, and mom went to Courtney Bizarri's wedding. The wedding was at The Barn in Biggsville, and it was really nice. The wedding was outside, which was a bit hot, but then we quickly went inside for the reception. Spending time with Cory, Michelle, Tony, and Wendy and others on the "Bizarri side" was really fun. They are all such good people.

But now it's Sunday, and I do plan to have a busy day, but at least it's not a busy morning. I'm going to try to have lunch with Chase, and then I'm going to run down to Fort Madison and visit with the Hoenigs. Yes, it's a lot of running today, but next week is going to be totally busy. Monday night BOE meeting, Tuesday night - PreK and K backpack night, Wednesday institute day and 1st and 2nd backpack night, Thursday institute day, and Friday back-to-school day. Yikes that's a lot.
