My life feels pretty hectic right now, but there is an end in sight. I remember my dad telling me never to get in an argument with a middle schooler because as soon as you begin, you've already lost. I kept that in mind today when I told two 6th grade girls to be quiet, and they proceeded to blurt out to me, at the same time, that they weren't even talking to each other, they were talking to other people! (Oh, okay then, you can keep talking! Sorry, my mistake!) I don't know how much longer I can handle getting yelled at by 12-year-olds and not break the "Do Not Argue" rule. Thankfully, there are only 5 more days of school. 5 busy days of grading, writing a final, reviewing for a final, and packing up my classroom...but 5 days nonetheless.
Brandon's life is hectic too. Last weekend ACU hosted the Lone Star Conference tournament, and starting today, ACU's also hosting the South Central Region tournament. Both tournaments include 3 games a day for 4 days. Even though it makes Brandon really busy being at all the games and working on the field, I'm glad the tournaments have been here so I can go to the games and so he doesn't have to travel.
I'm looking forward to going to Wichita so we can see each other and both relax a little. I just want to sit by the pool with a good book! In the meantime, if you're an 11 to 14 year-old with an attitude, stay out of my way!
