Too Much To Do

I always feel this way near semester's end...too much to do and too little time. How will I ever get all these papers graded? Why did I assign so much? Why do I insist upon giving essay tests?

However, in addition to my normal end of semester crunch, Braxton is now playing baseball, which occupies about 2-3 evenings a week; we are building a house; and we should be trying to pack up everything we own so this house is more presentable to sell. In addition to that, I need to have a yard sale to get rid of mucho crap, and I need to be interviewing real estate agents because our house should already be on the market. OMG!!!

As usual, when I get into this shape, what do I do??? I procrastinate. I find any and everything possible to avoid grading, cleaning, packing, etc. So I have spent much of today online but not grading. Heck, I've even washed dishes three times today to avoid grading. And now I'm finding that blogging is another really good procrastination tool.

Okay, I'm done now. I'm really going to get off here and grade something. I just wanted to post an update since I haven't in over a week. Oh yeah, and Mac seems to be doing well after this last surgery; he had the last pain pill the other day and his last antibiotic today. He's supposed to get his stitches out Monday or Tuesday....I'm thinking about taking the cone off his head tonight or tomorrow. I'm sure he's healed enough. He's better enough to get into some kind of trouble outside the other day and get his back scratched up. WTH?

Okay, now I'm really done. Seriously this time. I'm going to grade. For real. Here I go...
