Kontan.

I had grand plans to get much grading completed today.  Instead I mowed the lawn, took PreTeen to the church office for a kid party, went to the store, purchased a few grocery items and another gift for Lil Bit’s ninth birthday, came home, wrapped gifts, picked up PreTeen and returned home, then let Lil Bit open presents, had cake and ice cream, sat down to do work and checked the radar, noticed storms moving in very soon, rushed back outside to finish weed-eating, came in to watch it storm and was thoroughly unimpressed, took PreTeen to a friend’s house for bday and sleepover, came home to settle in with grades again, but ended up watching Jem make hamburgers on the grill while I played badminton with Lil Bit, ate dinner, took a bath and read my new Carl Hiaasen book, settled back in to grade where I was distracted by Facebook and blogging.

In case you are wondering there are still seven folders of grading sitting beside me and several folders have more than one assignment.  Fortunately, most are simple participation grades.  I tell students, “the longer I hold your papers the more lenient I tend to be.”  They leave me alone about grading now…for the most part.  With only three teaching weeks remaining I have to get on the ball!
