Wednesday, March 25

4:59 a.m. - Yesterday was a day like Monday - not horrible, which is good.  And again like Monday, after school the Harrisons were at the house.  And like Monday, after supper and their departure, I read my book and went to bed.

Today is hump day.  Just keep swimming.  I've got a student council meeting in the morning and an IEP type meeting at the end of the day.  Just keep swimming.

Tuesday, March 24

4:56 a.m. - Yesterday wasn't horrible.  And when a day isn't horrible at IC Elementary, that basically makes it good.  It was definitely a busy day, and it seemed like for everything I got done, I added two more things to do.  After getting home, the Harrisons were at the house.  In the evening I had a chance to read my book, which I'm enjoying.  I didn't even watch much television.  

Today I'm going to try to address more of the things to do on the to-do list.  Maybe I'll try to work on the pool motor or the sand filter or maybe both or maybe neither!  Getting some exercise might be nice, especially if the weather is better.  The forecast is calling for warmer temperatures today, but the weekend is looking cooler, so we may not be taking the camper out this weekend.
