Week 7 Day 46 and 47

 Wrapping up week 7

Yesterday was a crazy Thursday. Our week at school was out of balance with testing, presentations, and concerts. I did not have to do much planning but it did make me feel like I was running ragged. At least I finally got my contract for next or at least a letter of intent. Got my things done. At lunch I ran out for coffee and I think it was just too much caffeine and my tummy was hurting. I had horrible jitters and anxiousness even after a long walk with the dogs. I kept telling myself to calm down, and that I was safe but it was out of control. The guys had a big lacrosse game and it was such a good game, up 2, tied, one up and then the other. Amazing win for FA. Tucker was exhausted. Tonight is prom and then the rest of the month is good times with May term. 

Yesterday got it all done. Felt exhausted and blah when I got home. Tucker headed to The Kitchen after the game to celebrate and I just felt left behind because I had tapped out on food and can't drink so why bother? I bought Tucker a pizza and cleaned up the house. Completed my reading and then hit the bed. Tucker was still excited when he came home. He feels really good about the win and what he has done with the team. And he should. He doesn't get much support. Plus he has two younger guys coaching with him and I think he is a great role model to them.

 How do you win the war? With good questions. Lost Tools of Writing has laid out an easy format for asking questions in other words-thinking.  Definition: Define your terms. We can’t understand it if we don’t know what it is. While definitions used to involve at least some thinking (at least alphabetizing and spelling), today’s technology has put digital dictionaries in our pockets. Guess what? By asking the questions “what group does it belong to?” and “how is it different from others in that group?” you and your students will be doing some serious thinking. Comparison: How is X like Y? What differences spring out of this similarity? Are these differences of “a certain kind of thing” or differences of “more/less”, “better/worse”, or “bigger/smaller”? Circumstance: What in the world is going on here? What in the world is going on somewhere else? Relations: What was the cause of X? What was the effect of X? Did this effect in turn cause something else? Just because somethin...

Let me tell you about a bear, a skunk, and a hen. Day 68

 I am nearing the end of the challenge. One more weekend, 3 days of school, 1 more faculty day, and a lacrosse playoff game. I am a little undecided about whether I will drink on Friday night. I guess I have to see what happens.  Up at 4:47 still tired but I figured I needed to get up to get my walk before it got too hot and muggy  I had toast, 3 eggs, and coffee. Afterwards I took the dogs for a walk. It was already muggy and buggy. Gross. We headed out to the field then turned down icehouse so Ripper could poop in the woods. Well I turned the corner and saw a black thing in the road. I feel like it was a bear. It looked narrow but it was too slow and deliberate to be a dog. We turned and ran the other way. The black spot was still there. Finally when I took a break to walk the dogs pulled me to the right towards a clump of trees. Right there in front of me was a skunk with its tail up ready to shoot. We got away from that before it was too late. THEN a hen skirted acros...

One week later

For 60 hours, I let all the requirements of 75 Hard fade away. I had wine, margaritas, junk food and no workouts. It is time to get back to it. I have to make a decision about the 55k. Am I in?  I continued living large for the entire week post-75 hard. It has been wild. Friday was my final day. The kids were waiting for their big playoff game while I finished my checklist and cooked burrito casserole. The game was exciting with the bomb threat, change of venue, and the eventual big win. I had my margaritas and burrito casserole. We hosted Ricardo from Germany and Nomar from Brooklyn, who will be coming here next year. On Saturday morning, the boys had an easy practice, I did my long run, and we just hung out all day. I really don't remember what else we did... Sunday was Father's Day. We argued about what to do and finally said, let's go to Portland. It was a beautiful, cool day. We ate at the Port Hole (something like that). It was so delicious. I had fish tacos, Tucker h...
