thank goodness for other bloggers

So this whole week, I played a little mind game with myself to get through as Thad calls it "report card week". My report cards are due tomorrow morning to my principal and then they will be sent home in the afternoon. Usually, I am very organized and on top of my game. My computer program averages all the grades for me, all I have to do is just physically write them on the report card. Easy right, but not if you put it off for 10 weeks and never put the grades in. Yes, I let it get out of hand and never did it. So I had to old school it and punch hundreds of numbers into the calculator to get averages. I was not alone, my amazing fiance took my Math grades to work with him to do. So between calculating, writing comments, grading final tests that needed to be averaged, and preparing lesson plans for next week (why did my principal NEED my lesson plans for next week yesterday)... I JUST FINISHED! Every single night this week, from 5-10, I worked. UGH!

Back to my mind game. I would not let myself go on the internet and check email or check blogs until I was done. I knew even if I just sat down for a quick read, I would have convinced myself that tomorrow it will get done. So, I am enjoying every word of each blog right now. Thanks for keeping me motivated to keep on it!

P.S- I have already started entering the next quarters' grades into the computer so this glitch never happens again!
