Tuesday, October 8

5:42 a.m. - Another day...another day.  Yesterday was a day I anticipated as being "rough", and it was.  The new paraprofessional idea wasn't exactly "smooth sailing", and I anticipated that would be the case.  Hopefully with what was learned yesterday, today will go better.  I don't have to report for juror duty today, so that's good.  

Yesterday I also reported for a junior high girls basketball game, and that's always a challenge. 

Today I have a busy day.  I have an eye appointment, and then I have to get back for an observation of a teacher, and then I have volleyball tonight.  

Yesterday, my parents' friend and family friend Jack Youngquist passed away.  He had been ill for awhile, and this will be tough for my parents.

Monday, October 7

5:33 a.m. -  We are back for another work week.  And believe it or not, I think we are headed for the end of the first nine weeks grading period.  The time has gone by quickly, and much like the previous weeks, there is a lot going on this week.  At the end of the week is our first academic assembly celebration on Friday, which is an 11:30 dismissal day, but we have an instructional coach in the building on the 10th, and on that same day I have an admin meeting.  I also need to have an observation with another teacher.  And of course there are a couple of volleyball nights along with a junior high girls basketball night this evening.  On Thursday, I'm hoping to get the camper down to Lake Wilson Campground in Fort Madison, as we are spending the weekend in Lee County.  

Mrs. Zampogna is back this week, though, so that helps!

Sunday, October 6

11:52 a.m. - The camper is back next to the house and plugged in.  I did a little work on the Eagle before loading her up for the return trip home.  I need to throw in some more clothes before Thursday, but I pretty much left it the camper hooked up to the truck.  Before leaving the campground, I also got in a little 30-minute hike in the woods.  I wish I could have stayed out there longer, but time wouldn't allow it...check out time is 11 a.m.  My mind really has a chance just to calm down and relax while out in the woods.  I wish I could do that more.  

Today I want to watch some of the Bears game, visit my folks, and visit Chase at his work.  I'll probably grab a bite of supper there, and then I'll likely drive out to the office while Amber is working and finish up an evaluation that I started on Friday.
