Wednesday, May 26

6:25 a.m. -- We had some rain move in early this morning, and I had woken up even before that and couldn't get back to sleep.  I'm tired....sleepy tired, but that's okay.  Today at school, we will finish up the film, and the weather is supposed to be cooler, so the students should be in decent spirits.  Yesterday was a day for caring for children.  I stayed home from school to watch over Brooklyn and Brinley, which went great until about the last 10 minutes, and then we had a bit of a mishap.  Nothing serious occurred, though, so I'm calling it all a win.  Then I went down to Luebbe's to a little family celebration or Karrigan's graduation.  Then when we were there, our neighbor asked us if we could watch their children, including their newborn.  So off we went from Luebbe's to our neighbor to assist there.  After that, I ran Karrigan home, and then I went to bed and red my book for awhile.  I've started reading a biography about Robert E. Lee, and I'm enjoying it so far.  In all my investigating and reading and viewing of materials about Gettysburg, I've wanted to learn more about him.  I just didn't like the way he was portrayed in the film, and I figured there was more to him than that story.  I'll probably read more of it today.  

Later today, we have our first Iowa softball games.  Despite the overnight rain and the day of rain forecasted tomorrow, my guess is that the diamond will be playable tonight.  Then tomorrow, if we get all the rain that is in the forecast, we won't be playing, which means I have an extended weekend off.  While I could use the money, I also don't mind an extended weekend.
