09.05.2019 It's in the bag

This is a busy day/week.  Last night we had a fireside for some of our church youth groups that I had to help with so I missed going to the County Fair with my family. They judged the crafts yesterday.  The 4H categories get cash prizes so they are always very competitive.  I haven't seen the results yet by my wife said that they go a lot more ribbons this year than they have most of the past years.  I went straight to help with the fireside from work and didn't get hope unit after 9 PM.  Then I had 12 poultry that I had to wash and groom for the county fair. I was finished with all the birds at about 1 AM.   We are checking in poultry, rabbits, and goats today for the county fair.  Today is the first day of the 10-week home school co-op.  I will be teaching Spanish to 10 3rd-6th graders over my lunch break every Thursday for the 10 week period.  So I felt I needed more than 4 hours of sleep to be ready for my first day as a Spanish teacher so I didn't get any early morning workouts in today.  I will try to take an extra hour at lunch today to get a 30-minute run in.  I am sure I will be at the animal barns until dark checking in animals this evening so 30 minutes after the Spanish class is the best I can hope for today.  I don't know you people train for Ironman races.  I struggle just to work in 6-8 hours a week or training.  I need an 18-mile run and a 3-1/2 hour bike ride on Friday/Saturday this week.  I don't know how those are going to happen.  One of my daughters is having a birthday today and we have plans for that and a full day at the fair on Saturday.  

At least life is more fun when you are busy.  I couldn't stay sane if I ever had free time to worry about.
