Tuesday, February 18

5:35 a.m. - Survive and advance.  It's a cold one today...there are going to be a bunch of grumbles from students and staff.  But, hey, it's Tuesday; it jeans week and FFA week; and it looks like we just have to get through a few days of really cold temps, and then we'll get back to more seasonal temps next week.  

Yesterday, the boys postseason assignments came out, and I only received one game.  I'm really not surprised, but I'm still bummed.  I was afraid turning back my postseason assignment last season was going to cost me this season, and it turns out I was right.  Shawn only received one game, and Tony and Marcus didn't receive any games.  Out of the four of us, we only received two boys post-season games.  That's just not right.  We're better than that.  I'm sending off a message to Mr. Schwarz this morning to let him "kindly know" that I'm a bit frustrated.  Now next week I'll really get frustrated when I see the officials that did get the assignments.  

I didn't get much sleep last night, but that's okay.  Today the students will be difficult - they are coming off a long Valentines Day and Presidents Day weekend, and now the temps will keep us inside for recess.  These circumstances have all the makings of a challenging day in K,1,2 land.  And then tonight I'm officiating at Erie tonight - it's only one game, but it's with guys I normally don't work with.  Ya, it could be challenging...survive and advance.

Amber is still in Florida.  I'm supposed to pick her up tomorrow.  The HHR was really sluggish getting home last night, so I just might take the van  And the dogs are still here, so I now have the task of granddog sitting while also being in a work week.  Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

Yesterday went okay.  The Harrisons grandchildren were here most of the day, so we read some books and watch some TV, and played.  I took off for my games in Williamsfield around 3:30, and the games went okay.  My partners are fine, and apparently I'm the R for the championship game on Thursday - good for me!  Of course that's bittersweet...I can work a full regional and full sectional in girls, but I get one game in boys.  As long as I've been officiating, the IHSA and its postseason assignments just haven't made sense.

It's definitely a bundle up day today.  Let's do this.
