Friday, August 23

6:27 a.m. - Bears win!  They went 4-0 in the preseason.  That scares me.  I was in and out of the game last night at the camper because I couldn't stay awake.  I was worried I wouldn't sleep well after that, but sleep wasn't a problem.  I was tired.

Yesterday's admin meeting wasn't much fun.  I had to add more items to my school to-do list, and there was somewhat heated discussion over a few items.  We got through it, though, and finished the school day.  Then I took Tucker with me after school, and we went to the campground.  Kourtney arrived, and Amber had arrived with Knox and Rosie.  We played in the playground for a bit and took a little bike ride.  

Today is FRIDAY!  This is the end to our first full week of school; two weeks including the two institute days to start last week.  I think it's been productive, but we have definitely "settled in" at school.  Now, I'm seeing how a typical day works....who the kids are with "issues" and who the kids are without.  

The temps are going to heat up...wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of early dismissal days next week.  I need to get some firewood, and I need to plan what will be for supper at the campground this evening.
