Friday, Sept. 11

6:15 a.m. - It's Friday!  It's been a lousy weather week, but it's been a busy school week.  I feel like I actually may be starting to get caught up to the start of the school year with only a few more start up things to accomplish.  I need to get some lesson planning accomplished that isn't day-to-day to give Mrs. Mitola better insight into when she will be starting and exactly what she will be doing.  I also need to devote some time to figuring out the Association mess and get enrollment paperwork forms out to new members.  I'm not sure if I will be doing any umpiring tonight or tomorrow, as the rain is suppose to continue through tomorrow morning; maybe I'll get some work in on Sunday in a USSSA event.  I'd really like today to go smoothly...my brain needs some quiet time.

3:00 p.m. - So I'm rained out for tomorrow; I'm rained out for Sunday; but I'm not rained out for tonight...huh?  I guess I hope it's not going to rain on my way to Annawan.  I just checked the radar...I think I'm going to get wet.
