Why?

Why did I do it??

We had "Wellness Day" today at school. Today is the prom for our students, so the kids are off of school but we had in-service. Our morning speaker cancelled at the last minute and the organizers had to scramble to find someone. It turned out to be such a good thing because the speaker they did find was absolutley wonderful! He was one of the best speakers that our district ever has gotten for an in-service program--(mind you I have worked in this district for 13 years and have attended a good 5-7 in-services a year. You can do the math.) But anyway, you could have heard a pin drop in the auditorium today while this man was speaking. He was so uplifting and motivating. He was supposed to speak on character education. I am not really sure if that is what he talked about or not, but it was very good. I guess he does a lot of work with antibullying programs in schools and he is actually a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I didn't catch his last name,but his first name was Dave.

After that, I went to session on greiving children. The speaker was not as good as the first one, but his material was pretty good.

And then I concluded my day with my big mistake. I played basketball with 9 men for two hours straight. Our team kept winning, so I never sat down. We just played and played. What is wrong with me? Why do I think I am young enough to do that? I am so tired and sore right now. I don't even want to know how I am going to feel tomorrow! My original thought on playing basketball was to just run up and down the court a little and get ready for our faculty game against the Steeler's on May 12. Two hours later I could cry!
