Keeping the head above water

When I first came up with the plan to jump 2 steps over on the payscale it seemed like a really good plan. I would make "a lot"(teaching wise) more money and I would get over on the pay scale much faster. The only bad part of the plan was figuring out how to coach 3 sports, be a good teacher, magnify my church calling, and be a good father/husband all at the same time. I am lucky to have a great wife and prep hour after lunch. I don't each lunch with the other teachers as often as I would like, and the time not spent on my sport teams durning lunch gets used up on classes. I don't have very fast internet at home so I take advantage of the school internet. This means I leave earlier and stay later to finish all my school responsibilities. I am still here but I do feel a little frazled at times. I am having fun with all the maddnes. Track is going good. My best polevauler cleared 15 feet and almost got 15' 6"(this is very good in case you aren't up to date on pole vault). Another vaulter cleared 11' 06" and our best girl is almost at 10'00"It is nice that they are having success. We were able to plant some flowers last Saturday and three days later they are still alive! So if you haven't heard from us lately we are not being antisocial we are just really busy!!
