What do you put off until tomorrow?

Procrastination! Can you define that word? Do you always put off doing what needs to be done? Seems like I did that this weekend. I completely forgot to Blog yesterday. I knew I had to, but I didn't remember until I was in bed. I am not getting out of bed to blog, that is for sure!! I don't usually procratinate, unless it has to do with cleaning. I truly hate to clean and usually put it off for as long as I can. Do you procrastinate? What do you knowingly put off until another day. Something more than just your homework!

Sure hope all had a terrific Thanksgiving. Mine wasn't that exciting, but I did enjoy sleeping in all those days. Did any of you go shopping on Black Friday? Do you know why it is called that? I did shop on that day, but not at 4 a.m. Who is crazy enough to get up at that time? The mall in Toledo wasn't that bad, but Toys R Us was crazy. I hate that store and only go in there once a year.

So, here's to a week of NO procrastination and getting our project finished. Have a great one!

Be Thankful!!

Wow! What a crazy two weeks coming up. This week we have two half days, which are very hard to plan for if you are a teacher. In your case, I suspect you are planning on going out to eat and having two relaxing afternoons. Then next week we only have two and a half days of school. Me too this time! Who is looking forward to Thanksgiving break?!? ME!!

But truly, this is a serious time of the year. I know we love football and eating turkey on Thanksgiving, but we are suppose to take a look at our lives and be thankful. So, I challenge you this week...I want to know five things that you are SERIOUSLY thankful for. Try for once to act your age and give me intelligent answers. Here are my thankfuls:

1. My husband
2. My kids
3. My faith
4. Having a job in Michigan that pays well and gives me insurance
5. A place to live and food on my table.

There are many more (like the rest of my family), but that is my five. Give me your top five "thankfuls." Have a great week and enjoy your afternoons (oh except for you Vo-Tech kids!!).

An Extra Hour

Well, I believe that winter is just around the corner (did they snow this week???) We have changed our clocks and now it is dark at 5:30 p.m.!! Speaking of changing our clocks...isn't this a curious thing. Why do we do that anyway? Does this keep us inline with the sun/moon? Is it done so that there is more light in the morning? I have to agree with Kevin in not really understanding this time changing ritual.

Exactly what did you do with your "extra" hour? I get tired of everyone telling me in the spring how tired they are because they "lost" an hour! Do these same people feel rejuvenated at this time of the year? I mean they got an "extra" hour of sleep. I did not use my "extra" time very wisely. I rented a very terrible movie and stayed up too late trying to see if it would get better. I won't even tell you the name of it because it isn't worth even stopping to look at. That is two weekends in a row where I have rented a movie and been less than thrilled (last week it was Evan Almighty). Perhaps next week we will just go and see a movie in the theater. Got any good suggestions? Has anyone seen Dan in Real Life? The Bee movie? (I LOVE animated movies.) Don't even suggest Saw "whatever!!" I DO NOT like scary movies.

Well, enough rambling. Have a Fabulous week...we are one more week closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas break. This is always a good thing :-) Remember to post to my blog and read others. I want to see more comments!!!
