refocus

so, i know i am not supposed to blog at work...and i try not to--but when i lose focus, it is one of the only things--if not the only thing -- that helps me regain focus and get back to planning. I only blog during my planning period, and never spend more than 15 minutes doing it. I would waste much more than that amount of time if i did not blog and instead just zonked out.

so today--i just got my swine 'flu shot. I got to get the shot and not the mist b/c i am diabetic---so i guess something good comes out of having the sugar. and i guess i should not have eaten those 2 poptarts right after lunch. i was just---as always---craving some sugar.

I need to dig out my to do list. i have to go to the library in 30 mins b/c another teacher uses my room. Having double planning on silver days REALLY makes my life more manageable. I was truly suffering---as was my planning---before.

So now, to get back on track---i am going to get SOL coach books for the 6th and 7th graders and stock them in my room somewhere--meaning i should make some shelf space. Then i will head to the library to plan out this week's and next week's lessona. I also need to watch the blood borne pathogens video and call all parents.

organize, materials, move, video, organize, plan, return. i am refocused. now to get to it.
