Thursday, April 9

4:58 a.m. -  Yesterday was another "not horrible" day.  I was able to once again get some things done, as I only had one student challenge that needed to get worked through, and that didn't take a long time.  Don't worry...they honeymoon will be wearing off.  It's just a matter of time.  I did have an admin meeting in the afternoon, which also wasn't horrible.  And then after school, I spent time on the yard for the first time of the Spring.  And then I worked on the pool to get the filter system operating.  It's not perfect, but it's as good as it was last season.  Now, I just need to monitor the system to make sure it continues to work correctly.

Today I have an IEP meeting in the morning, and then I'm going to get some lab work done at Trinity in Moline.  I'm hoping that goes quickly.  

Yesterday, I thought the weekend was supposed to be dry.  Now I just noticed Kevin Phelps showing that there is going to be rain...dang Mother Nature.  Can I just get a dry weekend please?
