Ready For Take Off?

Have you been feeling

a little overwhelmed with your

Teaching To Do List?
Who isn't?

Maybe it's just me.
Nope...it's all of us!

Every time I turn around

there's something else

added onto my never ending list

of what a "good teacher" should be able to do

between the hours of 8:15 and 3:45.
Absolutely nuts!
The ironic thing is that we often
do all of those wonderful things...
...often at the expense of our families.
Sad but true.

Between the hours of 
8:15 and 3:45?
Bwa-ha-ha!

Yes, I'm the one

who actually stayed up

working through the night

in my classroom until 7:00

the next morning.
I wouldn't say that too loudly.
1.  You're cray, cray!
2.  You don't want anybody else
thinking that's an option!
3.  CRAY, CRAY!

They keep adding things on

without ever taking

anything off.

Who are "they"?

And have they

ever walked a mile

in my teaching flips?
NOPE!

I seriously think

that these "officials"

who keep adding things

onto teachers' To Do Lists

should be required to

assist in a classroom for

6 weeks out of every

school year.
6 weeks?
They wouldn't last a day!
not.even.kidding.

After all,

if they're making

the rules...shouldn't

they truly understand

the ins and outs of teaching?

I was at a meeting recently,

where I just kept muttering...

"I want to throw up."

"I want to throw up."

I thought I was only saying

it in my head....

but no.

It did come out of my mouth.

Repeatedly.
You were simply saying what
everybody else in the room was thinking!

I couldn't stop saying it.

I must start working on

self-filtering.

Add that to my list.

Check.

The other night

I dreamt that I had

returned to being a

flight attendant.

When I flew before,

I didn't like the 4 days of

travel away from home 

and all the wait

time that we had at

the airport and hotels.

Apparently my sub-conscience

has had a change of mind.

What?

4 days of quiet?

Lots of free time to fill?
Aaahhhhh...

I could keep myself

busy for the rest of my life

creating teaching materials.

I could easily become an

80 year old lady

with my computer hooked

up to a big screen TV so that

I can see what I'm doing as I'm

cutting, and pasting, typing,

and creating.

Flying and creating

teaching materials.

Aaaaaahhhhh....bliss.

I woke up feeling

soooooo H.A.P.P.Y.

And then I really woke up.
#realitycheck

My dream of returning

to my early flight career

fizzled as I realized I

was running late for

my First Grade class.

Where's that To Do List????

Must have been left on

my nightstand where I placed it

at 1 a.m. when my eyes were fogging over.
Is that a medical condition
I don't know about?
My eyes just get foggy
with a white haze.
Uh, hello?!  It's your body's 
way of saying 
"Go to bed and stay there!" 

The nearest I'm going to

get to flying any time soon

is making a bat activity.

Flash Freebie with my Spider Fact Families.
