6:08 a.m. - Yesterday was a productive day. I got a bunch of grading done at school, and we are going to be able to squeeze in the novels along with the films for the novels. Plus yesterday, I pushed out the exit survey to allow the students some feedback for the course and my efforts. I always receive criticism, but that's okay. I probably would be more worried if I didn't received criticism, and all the comments instead were praise. I'm not there to be their friend; I'm not there to make things easy.
After school, I got the riding mower back together, but I also took the blades off the deck as well as the push mower and went over to my parents house and gave them a quick sharpen. Then we went to Tucker's game, which frustrated the heck out of me. Whatever happened to just allowing the really young kids to have T-ball? Why do people insist to trying to pitch to 4-year olds. Most of them aren't hitting the ball...they are just swinging and are lucky if the coach hits the bat with the pitch. Time drags on, it's hard for the kids to stand that long out in the field....it's just dumb. Leave the T out there...teach them proper hitting technique...let them wack it and run...and keep things moving.
After baseball, I sprayed some weeds that needed killed, even though I'm not sure how well it will work. I didn't have any Round-Up, so I used some Weed-B-Gone. Then after that I jumped in the chilly pool and ended the evening with a little time in Amber's inflatable hot tub.
Today...get some more grading done. Try not to become impatient with silly students ready for the end of the school year. And then head to United Township for a little 4A Regional softball action. I just want to get it done. Survive and move on. Amber won't be home until later because she is on the 8th grade Great America trip. I'm not sure what I will do today after returning home.
