Wednesday, October 7

 4:57 a.m. - Have I mentioned that I'm tired of political ads?  

The nice weather continues....keep it rolling, but now apparently a hurricane in the gulf may impact our weather this weekend.  C'mon.  

Yesterday was an okay day.  I completed another observation of a teacher.  Evalulation observations are pretty easy when you are evaluating great teachers.  I also got some fidelity checks in, which was good.  And I got to officiate volleyball last night, which was fine.  I missed a dang illegal attack again, but so be it.  At least I knew it just after it happened....that's progress, right?

Today is Wednesday, which means we have a student council meeting to start the day.  I think I'll try to get some additional fidelity checks in for math.  Tonight I don't have any officiating, so that's nice.

Tuesday, October 6

4:46 a.m. - Yesterday was successful for a Monday.  We got some things accomplished at school by starting on some things.  For example, I started working on the Community Friend program.  The day was also nice because of the beautiful weather.  After school I drove over to Muscatine and got a haircut at Great Clips and picked up a sandwich at Jimmy Johns.  When I got home, I did some work on the pool, and now it's ready for the pool guy to come and close it.  Hopefully that will happen this week as scheduled.  

And on to today.  Let's just get through it.  Let's get one more day closer to the weekend.  This morning is a bit quieter - no Kollyns and no Sophie.  I think I'll get some exercise in today and also get a little time in the inflatible hot tub.  I've got a teacher evaluation observation to complete today, and I'm working volleyball at Alleman after school.  Just keep swimming.

Monday, October 5

4:56 a.m. - Yesterday was a day that worked out.  We woke up at the campground at Loud Thunder, and Kollyns, Sophie, Amber, and I went for a walk after having some breakfast made on the Blackstone.  Amber then went home with Sophie and Kollyns, and I packed up the camper to take it to the next campground.  I also got in a shower in the bathhouse.  Then it was off to Fort Madison to place the camper in what ended up being site 13 at the Rodeo Park.  I got the Eagle set back up again and went for some Kentucky Fried Chicken.  I also was able to to listen to the Bears game on the way down on the radio, and finish watching it on television.  Then it was a quick visit down to the Hoenigs' house to visit with Caleb.  Then it was back home, and back home included a stop at McDonald's in Aledo for Kollyns and Amber.  I watched a little of the football game, but I fell to sleep pretty early.  

And today some good news is that the forecast is calling for clear and sunny and cool beautiful fall weather.  Dang, we've been needing that, and I suppose the farmer will be attempting to get out in the fields and get the harvest in.  

For me...I am hoping this week is more simple than past weeks have been.  The weather will help.  I just really would like to get through the week quietly and get to the extended holiday weekend - this time hopefully without a dog, even though Sophie did pretty well for the most part as a camper dog this past weekend.  She only got in trouble once for barking at other dogs.
