March Madness

As Barry's season of coaching winds down, he is still geared up for March madness. I have my own March madness (of sorts). While he is coaching, I am continually keeping us going at home and it catches up with me. Shouldn't I be wanting to get down to spring clean? All I want to do is get away from the house. Its a bit confining during the winter season and now I just don't want to be around the house at all.

Today at school we celebrated Read Across America (we have fun events all week). I would actually rather be in my classroom right now than my home. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and I am proud of Barry. I just seem to feel a bit of identity crisis or some psychosis in March!

It doesn't help that we will be nearing the 1-year anniversary of Dan's death. We went to a Jackrabbits game in Brookings on Saturday night and it was FANTASTIC to be gone from here (even if Carson is a less than fun guy to have along for a 2-1/2 hour game). We did that in honor of Dan, who loved to go and watch games there. He always talked of them and we never made it to one WITH him. No regrets, though, I know he was with us in spirit!
