Procrastinating.....

Well, I'm procrastinating on doing the teacher homework this afternoon. I hate the writers cramp that comes with doing the 4 sheet carbon report cards....that and just doing all the stuff I have to do period. This year, it seems like I have this immovable mountain of work to do and no time to get it done. I guess that's part of teaching a 2 grade combination - with double planning to do, I go nuts when it's time to sit down and get to it because I just can't seem to see the end of the pile of stuff to get done.

Since I've been procrastinating, I've done some online shopping - ordered shades for my grandmother and hot tub parts for my parents. It seems that I'm the only person they can think of who can function to shop online - LOL. I've also spent some time browsing Match.com today. That new who's viewed your profile deal can be rather interesting along with some of the e-mails I've received in the last few day. Is the moon full or do I just seem like a gal who can handle anything since it seems I've attracted the attention of a 39 year old grandpa (no desire here to be a grandma - step or otherwise at this stage in life), some guy in the Middle East who's looking for a woman who speaks Arabic (that's definitely not me), a guy who hates liberals because he deems them to be communist (card carrying Democrat here - didn't know that made me a communist) and then there was the guy who started his e-mail off with "Hey Babe - how hot you look" - even my 2nd and 3rd grade students have better pick-up lines than that. Yes, there are some normal guys out there I've exchanged winks and e-mails with...but it was just strange that I received 3 e-mails and looks from some guys who need to crawl back under a rock somewhere because I'm now ready to crawl under a rock of my own and hide from the strange and weird ones who are contacting me. Thank goodness for the many more looks, a few winks and some e-mails I've had from guys who seem somewhat normal - that at least make me feel like I'm not a magnet for the oddball guys out there.

Ok...enough procrastinating and ranting....off to do some school work I guess. Time to make a spelling list...
