All over the place

When will organizing become easier for me? I am doing a much better job at being organized this year, but it takes so darn long! I think about the future when I might have kids and a family and a house to keep clean - how will I ever have time for them when I am spending so much time trying be organized with my school work. I suppose it gets easier over time, but we'll see.

I read an article today in NEA Today magazine all about social media in the classroom. It had a great idea for teaching Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, it uses a Ning which currently doesn't work right at school. It just frustrates me that the really great ideas I have simply fall to the wayside because I don't have access to the technology they require.

On the plus side, I have been noticing that I spend far less time lesson planning this year. It's like the organization and years of tweaking lessons is starting to make a difference. I would definitely say I am less stressed than in years past.

This is kind of a random post, but I have noticed that that is where my head is lately. I am having a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. I think it might be because I am so overtired. I think I just need a weekend off to feel really caught up and focused. Things are getting done - just not as well as they could be because I have so many other thoughts going on in my head. We'll see what this fall weather brings. I love the fall so I hope it calms me down and sets me into a good routine.
