Today we got out of school at 1:30pm for a staff inservice. It was definitely time well spent. We were given the low down on things like school accreditation and state wide testing. Things that I find totally interesting. and then I head back to my classroom, think about the looming subjective comments that I loathe entering on my report cards, lessons that should be prepared, and wonder, "Is this really time well spent?" Is this what I am supposed to be doing? Shouldn't I want to prepare for tomorrow? Shouldn't I want to spend time concocting fancy lessons and clipping articles from the newspaper that pertains to what we're studying? and is that really time well spent?
My girls spent the afternoon with my mom since we didn't have school. They headed off for a quick trip to Lincoln for some fabric shopping. Definitely time well spent! I, on the other hand, come home, eat a few cookies, check Facebook, and blog.....time well spent? I have the whole house to myself....I could do yoga with no interruptions, I could sew with out anyone begging to help, I could put away the 5 loads of laundry laying on the floor in the upstairs hallway. All time well spent. So why is it that I can obviously give a list of what I deem useful ways to spend time, but can't make them happen?! Maybe because while I think I love quiet, I truly can only function in utter chaos!
