Why why why why why do I insist on putting things that NEED to be done off to the last minute??? WHY?????
Oh, wait, I know why, because the things I'm doing are fun and the things I need to do, not so much. Well, that's not quite true. I do enjoy planning my classes and teaching, it's just, sometimes, it's still a bit overwhelming. There's something almost overwhelming about taking a curriculum and making a year's course of it. The pacing, the lessons, the objectives, you name it.
So, today when I should have been planning, I was instead reading and playing and just having fun. Now, I've gotta do the work. Lissie always says, "Work before pleasure". Too bad I didn't take the advice...

Dearest Joani, I'm SO SO SO SO SO sorry I miss-named the artists of my gorgeous Hannah drawings. So sorry. I KNEW it was you and yet I still messed it up. Please forgive me. Mea culpa.

It is so hard to get back into the swing of things!
There are occasions that I will tackle the crub that needs to be done to get it out of the way. There are times that I will intermix it with the fun stuff to make it like I'm rewarding myself and then, sometimes, I wait until the end. That one is a bummer. I try not to do that often, because it kicks my reflux into high gear and I don't sleep because I'm worried.
Pace yourself my friend! Oh, and reward yourself with chocolate and FM ice cream!

My sister is a teacher and a procrastinator so I try to get her to do her planning Saturday so then she'll be free the rest of the weekend. When I taught kindergarten, I was single with no kids and no life so I used to do my laundry and lesson plans Saturday night. Now, I KNOW I would be playing and leaving those plans until the last minute. Good luck!
Teachers deserve a break, I am glad that you had some fun this weekend. Knowing you, you will be all caught up before any deadlines and on top of your game. Big prayers for your first big week! Hugs :)
PS. My Shuffle ROCKED on my 13 miler this weekend!!!
You deserve some fun!!! I wish I were in VA long enough to take you out! Maybe some day!
Hugs!~
I'm a HUGE procrastinator too! I have fun all day with the kids (well mostly LOL) and rush around just before Shawn gets home tidying up and making it look like I was busy all day. Sometimes I give it a lick and a promise and simmer PineSol on the stove for effect LOL
