5:25 a.m. - Yesterday was a long one! I got going early to be a Dunkin Donuts in Muscatine by 7 a.m., and then I got some donuts and some coffee and drove back to ICE. The first task of the day was the BOOST reading training. It's sort of like Khan Academy's SAT practice that I have used in the past, but it's more game like and more comprehensive with its coverage of reading skills. I had a chance to meet with all three student teachers, so that was good, and then staff had a chance to get their classrooms ready. Of course, there were staff members in and out of my office all day "needing a few minutes", which is fine. Then there was a little downtime before backpack night from 5-7. Of course that was a new experience for me, but the signs from Sign Gypsies, the food truck from The Long Branch, and the great work of the teachers and paras in the building made the night go smoothly. I saw a few faces I recognized, but most folks I didn't recognize. And then I capped the evening off by the HHR having problems; the left rear wheel wouldn't turn - at all. Geez. So I'll take the truck to work this morning and hope to drive back down to Slayden's later today.
Today won't be as long, at least. We are going to have a little staff meeting right at 8 a.m., and then there are district trainings after that at the junior-senior high school. I was thinking about going to go visit Caleb and Carmen, but that was before I experienced car problems last night. I'm not sure if I will take the truck now or if I will go at all.
Oh, and Bella the cat is lost. She went outside on the deck like normal early yesterday morning, and we haven't seen her yet. Amber posted an announcement on Facebook, and we didn't get any responses. Bella has always been a house cat, so I'm not very confident in her wilderness survival skills. I guess we will just wait a couple of days before declaring her "lost at sea". It is a little quieter this morning, but I woke up a couple of time just to see if she had arrived back home.
