I've Got to Get to Work!

Last week at this time, I was putting the finishing touches on my lesson plans. Different week, different story. I've been cutting up, napping, snacking, you name it. Basically, I've done EVERYTHING but get my work done. See, I'm even blogging rather than working. I need to see a counselor. Why don't I do what I know I SHOULD be doing?!?

Wow, my ADD just took me to the shower and now I'm back. I just think I'm too tired to do what I need to do. I've got to take care of myself better or better care of myself. Sometimes, I'm just so exhausted, I just don't really care. How sad is that?!? I guess I need to pull myself up out of this funk.

Did I mention sitting out last night at a baseball game for about three hours? It was bitterly cold, for South Georgia. Our boys did pretty well. One of my calculus kids hit one out of the park. He should play in college. He's a pretty good kid, most of the time! My students all have their days. When I woke up this morning, my knee was a little hinky. I'm not sure if it's the 200+ pounds on my frame or sitting out in 38-degree weather!

Supermom and The Child have gone to Bubba and Granny's this weekend, so it's awfully quiet around here. I find myself sitting here listening to Rick and Bubba and wondering what I'm going to do for dinner. I think I may make a pot of pasta sauce and have some of the whole-wheat pasta, not sure.

I need to stop procrastinating and slog through some of this lesson plan business. That's what I'm declaring that I'm going to do.

Cheers!

Trying to Blog on my 'Berry

Well, I am blogging on my BlackBerry device. This a nice little tool that I haven't checked into.

The kids are a little crazy because we have an upcoming holiday. Who am I kidding? I am a little crazy too!

Are you watching "Fringe"? It is amazing. When Pacey/Peter's dad got out his typewriter to see if it typed the crazy y, oh my word! And the guy who re-materialized!

Feeling some better. Still haven't gymed.

There's always tomorrow?

Better, But Not by Much

I am back. I am feeling somewhat better. I think I may have been having a brush with a cold in addition to my fatigue. I am going to make an appointment for my holiday. I get a rest from the kiddies on Friday. We're going to a Texas Instruments deal during which I'll be taught how to more effectively use a graphing calculator. Truth be told, I couldn't use one less efficiently. I shy away from them. If I need to use a graphing deal, I usually use Geogebra. Regardless, I'm working toward getting there on Thursday evening.

I finally, and this is unprecedented, am caught up. I just need to get together the items my precious ones will work on while I'm gone.

Thanks for the encouraging words!

Shalom!
