Ingnored

today was awesome. lately i haven't been feeling like a good teacher, but today during reading when time was up and i told the kids they had to go back to class they groaned as if they wanted to stay and keep learning! wow! (1st pat on the back for me)
then at the end of the day when i told my class to clean and pack up, they groaned! total different group of kids - same reaction... whoa! (yea, 2nd pat on the back for me!)
so today i felt good about myself. yay me!

yesterday was ash wednesday. i finally decided on giving up being lazy for lent. since i don't drink cokes, don't eat chocolate often, don't smoke, haven't even been drinking a lot lately, what else was there that would be a huge sacrifice? yea, this is going to be super hard. but today i stayed late to clean off my desk and run copies for tomorrow and the beginning of next week INSTEAD of procrastinating and pretending that i would wake up early and do it tomorrow morning. AND i have to take birthday dessert tomorrow so that means that instead of sitting in front of the computer or in front of the tv tonite i have to go buy a card and dessert stuff. Guess I better go do that now since writing this is a form of procrastination in itself.
