Wednesday, March 13

6:26 a.m.- My softball game yesterday was cancelled.  The reason was that the opponent to Annawan couldn't field a team.  My confusion was that I was just told yesterday.  Yesterday afternoon was when Earlville figured out a team couldn't be fielded?  Oh well...softball season will get here eventually.  Actually, I was scheduled to work Thursday, but now according to the weather forecast, storms may be moving in so maybe the softball season will get extended even a little further than that.  

I'm starting to get upset with Loud Thunder.  I've asked them to give me an answer as to why the park gates are closed to the campgrounds, but I'm not getting an answer.  I may have to climb the ladder of informational personnel to get to an answer.  I understand that the park doesn't want to turn on water access due to potential freezing temperatures harming pipes/plumbing fixtures, but is that a reason to restrict car travel access?  Are seasonal employees only hired for certain months of the year, so it's a budget thing?  Is there some state law that forest preserves must have restricted use during certain parts of the year?  I'd just like to know the reason.

Today is a dreaded school-inservice day.  All class periods are 20 minutes each.  Normally, this would be a Free Read Wednesday day, but today it's going to be a discussion about financing various post-secondary paths.  Tomorrow, then, we will jump back into presenters.  After school, I think the Harrison grandchildren will be arriving.  They were here yesterday afternoon, too, but only the girls.  We decided to jump into the truck while Kenzie was working downstairs to go see GiGi at Shivers and have some supper and ice cream.  The philly cheese steak I had was really good, and so was the strawberry banana shake.  And of course I finished up the girls mac-n-cheese, corn-dog bites, french fries, and tater tots.  No, it wasn't exactly a very nutritional meal, but when I came home, I did have a salad to get in some greens.  

Get through today...get to tomorrow.  Life is sort of in a "lull period" right now, but that's okay.  I embrace lull periods because I know soon that life will get busier when softball starts rolling, the camping season opens up, the pool has to get opened up, and the grass starts growing.  The busy times are just around the corner.
