Tuesday, August 12

4:42 a.m. - Yesterday was challenging Monday. We learned that our playground mulch took some damage from recent rains, and then it rained last night again.  Then we had f the parent oa new student contact our office in the morning and then visited in the afternoon to complete registration and take a tour of the building.  This student is going to need some supports, so that will be one of the objectives to accomplish today.  In the evening, I had a BOE meeting, and that meeting was relatively short.  

Today, I'm up early to try to get to a cardio workout and then get to the institute day.  Yesterday I managed to get to the gym and get a workout in, but it wasn't much of a workout.  I hope for better today before attempting to survive the PD at the institute day.  Then I need to get to my mom and dad's and try to get some work done in the hay mow - that won't be fun.  Oops, I can't do that until tomorrow, as tonight is "backpack night".
