OK Marm and Wargod, there will be NO BUTT KICKING in this thread at least, and I think this thread should be 'priveleged' like talking to a doctor or lawyer.

Anything we find out IN HERE, we cannot go out and post to someone in their folder to get working. This is the folder to wallow in our procrastination!!

Marm, it was a GOOD thing you fell asleep. You must have needed it. Think of it this way: by falling asleep, you let your body replenish itself, and perhaps saved yourself from coming down with a cold or the flu.

Sia - I'm thinking you've been with your DH long enough to create your family etc. By now, you should be able to sleep through his coming home. So I am going to assume you woke up for the "recreational benefits" of your husband coming home. Once your energy was flowing again, you couldn't fall back to sleep. (I have the same problem) My thought is, you got your "workout" at 330 this morning. There is no need to go work out MORE at Curves. Therefore....grab a drink, chill out, and keep on reading and posting!!

Ohio - Sounds like you are still a fairly new teacher (making up lesson plans). Please see my advice to Spygirl above. No assignments = No marking. Make everyone happy.

Good job everyone. I expect more time wasting posts in here, so I am not so bored I have to go finish my essay!! hee hee!!

What I should be doing is cleaning the bathroom, doing some laundry, and organizing my office...I've been sitting here reading TVCH, checking my email, and browsing websites since I woke up. Don't see much getting done today...

I should be ironing and cleaning my upstairs bathroom. All I have done is work, work, work, since I've been home. This madness has got to stop!

Eeyore- I've been teaching for 11 years now. I still grade papers and make up new lesson plans. I already know there is something wrong with me.

Ohio - I hate to admit, I would rather that a teacher evolve, rather than teaching children outdated material, through outdated methods. I would LOVE to know my kids had teachers that kept up with the times, subscribed to the Journal of Teaching Psychology, etc.

I originally wanted to go into teaching kids with learning disabilities. Then, going through school, I was more into healing the hurt that is inflicted on them in schools, so I wanted to go into counselling the same kids. So I veered towards a psych degree. Now, I'm more interested in Educational Psych, and I'd love to get into either program design, or advocacy of some sort. Then I feel I will be helping the most children possible.

The more I learn, the more I realize teachers should never stop trying to learn, because new methods and ideas are always coming up. Nobody has all the right answers. Good for you for continuing to expand your practises.

I should be in my math class. Instead, I'm sitting on my butt in front of the computer. When will I ever need math? Well except for the final...After that?

Eeyore... good job on TWO naps today. You need to make sure you're completely rested for the exhiliration for TAR tonight.

Monkeyboy... screw math class. What's more fun --A squared + B squared = blah blah, or TVCH? Just making sure you've got your priorities straight.

Right now I should be Swiffering the floor and finishing the dishes to prove to the man when he gets home from work that I didn't just sit here all day at the clubhouse... (as long as I make something around here noticably clean, he'll assume I left here for at least a little while... heh heh, sucker!)

I should be removing all cash from my purse, so I can't buy those Hershey's/w/Almonds candy bars....so I will get back on my diet.

Finally, I should turn the computer off, and decorate the tree....or, take a nap. 'Sooooo hard to choose.......

I could live in this thread. I'm rarely doing what I should be doing which is working. I work in a home office so there are always distractions.

My ds & I were shopping recently and we saw a T-shirt that had "Let me drop what I'm doing and take care of YOUR problem" printed on it. We decided that I need one for every day of the week!!!!! Since I saw the shirt I started paying more attention. That was 4 days ago and I've "taken care of YOUR problem" instead of mine over 50 times. I need HELP!!!!!!!

I need to express my disappointment right now. I have discovered the "check new messages" thingy up top. Wow. It's a great feature, if you'venever used the button. But now that I know it's there, and I click it all the time, there really aren't that many new messages.

BEFORE I had found that button, I could click around all over the site, looking for some new post. Now that I have found this new message feature, it's like, my time wasting became more EFFICIENT.

As a result of this new message thing, I actually got lots of my essay done today. Did my dishes (put them in the dishwasher), went out for some groceries, and cleaned my bathroom.

I need to find new ways to avoid work and waste time. Anyone have any ideas?

Eeyore- I took a few Ed Psych classes and I really enjoyed them. The information I learned helps me deal with my hormonal 8th graders.

I should be organizing the papers on my desk right now. I just don't feel like doing it. I'm going to head over to the "Free Expressions" thread. That's my favorite time waster.

Eeyore'sLament, um, no, I don't get a "workout" with my husband at 3:30 in the morning--or at any other time, if I can avoid it by any means necessary. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than do "that" with him.

Yes, we have been together long enough to create a family. I have been married to him for 9 1/2 years. He won't LET me sleep. It annoys him that I snore--although he, likewise, snores, and we even sleep in separate beds. Unhappily, those beds are in the same room, which also doubles as our living room.

I think things will improve if we build a house next year as we're planning and we can each have separate bedrooms. That's my idea of heaven!

I drink entirely too much coffee, have acid reflux (yes, I realize that they're connected), inoperable hernias, chronic pain, chronic depression, and osteoarthritis as well has having my entire sleep-cycle totally disrupted due to husband's swing-shift work schedule (one week each of midnight, afternoon, then day-turn).

I can only enjoy the Internet when my family is not at home, so I tend to get on the computer late at night or early in the morning after the kids have left for school.

Finishing the tree decorations. My presents are all wrapped, and the outside lights look like Disneyland, thanks to my visiting son, but the tree is only half-done...'cause that's my job.

Lest you think, perhaps, that I'm a bit put out right with my DH, you might be right. This is a man to whom I carried poached eggs on toast--IN BED--this morning at 9:30. Rather than getting up to be with two of his three children on his only day off, this is a man who stayed in bed after breakfast to sleep off all the beer that he'd consumed the night before. This is the same man who was still asleep at 5:30 p.m., when I awoke him for dinner of pork chops, rice, hamburgers, and fruit. The only reason I woke him up was so that he could feed the dogs before sunset and so MAYBE he would burn the trash for me, which he did.

This man is now sitting in MY comfy armchair in the kitchen drinking beer again (says he's only on his 4th, but I think he's had more) watching dishTV and telling me to stop making so much noise on the computer. Horrors, I was singing very quietly while listening to some music via WindowsMedia, so I shut that off so that he can be free to channel-hop with his flea-sized attention span. Excuse me for breathing!

Uh, yes, there could be a smattering of animosity there.

I should be sleeping...why do I stay up late when I know I have to get up early in the morning?

I have been doing this to myself for years now and it just doesn't make sense but I continue the pattern night after night!

I should be in the bathtub and getting dressed for work.

I spent the last two days in my bathrobe and jammies....it feels funny putting your jammies back on AFTER you get out of the tub, but I REALLY needed to rest. Nuff said.

I should be grading a mountain of papers and practicing for a concert that, dang it, is on Survivor Thursday. I don't know how to program my VCR. SHHEEEEESSHHH!
