October's almost over...really?

So here it is...another month almost gone. I find myself asking this all the time, "where does the time go?" I mean seriously...where does it go? I guess when you're super busy with work, the time just flies by. This year I've taken on some extra responsibilities. I left the elementary scene and moved up to the Jr. High. Working at the Jr. HIgh brings on a whole other list of things "to do." When asked if I would coach girls basketball I laughed and asked the principal if he wanted a team with a losing streak that I'd be more than happy to help. Then I was asked to coach sixth grade volleyball. This would have been great had I not already taken on after school tutoring for an expelled student. (Yes, we still had to offer services.) Then, apparently I didn't think tutoring Tuesday's and Thursday's was enough, so I added Monday's and Wednesday's as well (this is not through the school). A few weeks into working with my student on T/Th the school notified me that he was moving. Those days got freed up, but for some reason I thought they should still be full. Later that week I was approached by our assistant principal and she asked if I would be interested in coaching cheerleading. They had a sudden change of coaches and it was an emergency...do you think you could let us know by the end of the day? After laughing histerically I thought I'd share it with my best bud and she said something I wasn't expecting...."If you want, I'll do it with you." Much to my surprise I found myself walking to the office and agreeing to the unthinkable. Did I mention a few days before that they asked me to co-coach STARS. It's our leadership program. I think this just about puts me at my limit. I'm not sure if I can take much more on without enlisting myself into the nut house, but I must admit...I wouldn't have it any other way.
