5:48 a.m. - Yesterday was a long, long day. That's okay; I envisioned it was going to be a long day, but it was really, really a long day. The first day back after a long weekend had "frequent flyers" in my office; plus, I learned of another "challenge" in the building as well. We have 108 children in our school 5-7 of them are what I would call "frequent flyers". Honestly, that's not a very high percentage, and none of the children are "bad kids" - they just have difficulties. Those difficulties, though, can really disrupt their classrooms and the days of staff. Plus, I'm not getting any younger, so I think my energy drains faster. After school yesterday, I was just mentally drained, and I had absolutely no interest in officiating volleyball. In fact, the first match I basically flubbed through. I regrouped, though, after that freshmen match, got some popcorn, and found enough energy left to somewhat enjoy myself the rest of the night. We had Rockridge at Sherrard, and there was a good crowd on hand, so there was good energy in the gym. Those are the gym situations that make officiating fun.
So let's hope that today goes a little better, the "frequent flyers" settle in a little better to school routine, and the day is a bit more enjoyable. After school, I need to run into Milan and pick up a prescription and then run out to Orion and get a library cart. One good thing that did happen yesterday was to have the new rug for the music room delivered. We can now proceed with a little more comfort in the music room, and work with the idea of a mobile library. I'm interested to see if it works like I hope it will.
