I know it's been awhile since I have posted, the truth is, I went back to work last Monday...yuck! Volleyball started Monday, so it has been pretty low key, but I still have to be at work. The hard stuff starts this Monday...football!
We have had a great summer, as far as weather goes, lots of rain and cool temperatures. Naturally, yesterday was our first 100 degree day (heat index about 107), and the forecast shows 100 or higher for the next 7 days. I am not looking forward to being out in the heat, but the worst part is taking care of 200 football players who are practicing in that heat. My warning to you today is that for the next few months I will be updating you on the happenings of the Rockwall Yellowjackets. Some of you said that last fall you were a bit bored with all the football talk, I apologize. Unfortunately, when that is all I do, that is all I have to talk about. We do have a few other things planned this fall, so hopefully with some of that mixed in you will still check in once in a while.
So, to start things off I wanted to give you a schedule of my next two weeks. I'm not trying to get sympathy...but maybe some prayers.
8/13 - 8/17
4:30am - report to field to give treatments and set up for practice
6am-7:30am - Varsity football practice
7:30am-8am - Varsity weight lifting
10:30am-1pm - Volleyball practice
3pm - report to field to give treatments and set up for practice
4:30-6:30pm - JV/Fresh football practice
6:30-9pm - Varsity football practice
9:30pm - head for home
10:30pm - sleep!
So that is the first week. The next week I get to add teacher in-service from 8am-4pm right in the middle of the day. I keep telling myself, it's only two weeks. I can do anything for two weeks!
So, it is the official start of football season. The Yellowjackets look pretty good. We have our stud quarterback returning, who has recently committed to SMU! I've been told our offensive line is incredible and we have some pretty decent receivers. I expect to see more passing this year, as our incredible running back from last year has graduated. We play our first scrimmage on the 24th, but it is a lot like a pre-season NFL game, you can make assumptions about what you see, but you just never know until a real game is played.
GO JACKETS!

You will be at the top of my prayer list for the next couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing your schedule.
Allison, you are such a hard worker. I've never heard you complain about all the hours you work.

Connie, thanks for the encouragement, but don't talk to your son about my complaining. :) I do love my job, and long hours just come along with it.
