Today has a different start than I’d planned. The school district staff is having a professional development day which was to begin at noon. However, their girl’s basketball team made state playoffs and they have a game this afternoon at 3:00 pm so they rearranged their training to be from 8:00-noon. So, instead of getting to sleep a little longer this morning, it’s a 4:45 am again. The district is 1.5 hours away so I need some driving time. I don’t care what some say–sports do rule! Those who know me also know I’m not a sports fan. However, I do respect their importance for kids so this adjustment is well worth any effort.

It’s a brief message but my mind is yelling, get yourself ready! So away I go.
