Here's something I've never blogged about: SCOTT'S job!
Scott was hired this summer to be our school's athletic director. He took over for a man who really was more interested in taking care of his own needs than the students', and he left behind what is commonly referred to as a "hot mess."
Since taking this job, Scott has had to hire an entirely new coaching staff, track down keys from former coaches, find computers and other technology that should have been in the coaching office, etc. Of course, one might expect to have to complete such tasks as athletic director. What one might NOT expect is to be up until 11:00 researching washing machines for the locker room. Which is what he is doing right now. One might also NOT expect to spend the better part of a week trying to fix improperly-burned lines on a football field, re-doing the lines in white paint, and then PAINTING OVER the burned lines with GREEN paint, in preparation for the first football game.
By the way, this is NOT a paid position. He's supposed to get a full release period to do this job (which still wouldn't be enough at this point), but instead he gets an advisory period (half of a regular period) to do it.
I'm certain that, eventually, he'll get his all straightened out. In the meantime, we're eating a lot of dinners without him. *sigh*

Eek! I had no idea it was an UNPAID position. Isn't that an oxymoron???
Scott looked good yesterday, eating some dinner down on the patio. He must handle stress pretty well -- or just hides it behind closed doors. Either way, you're family has a TON of demands on it right now, and it's completely normal and expected for you to have some frustrations along the way. You are NOT failing. You're a fantastic mom, so stop listening to those interior voices that say otherwise.
