I can kick my own ass!

The time now is 6:00 AM. What time did I wake up, you ask? 11 o'clock. AM. Yesterday.

Yes, that's right, folks, I have pulled an all nighter. Why, you ask?

Because my name is Libby, and I like to procrastinate.

Grades are due today, and since I had about 2 1/2 weeks of grading to catch up on, I had to take care of that before I could enter the grades on the computer. Then, I had to make a social studies test. (Actually, I made the test first, but it really doesn't matter.) Then, I had to write my weekly lesson plans. Now, that doesn't seem like that large of an amount of work does it?

Well...it certainly is when you don't start it until 10:00 PM on a Sunday night.

I do have good news, though!!

I usually have to spend my first 30 minutes at school on a Monday morning running around trying to finish my lesson plans. But, since I got done tonight...er...this morning...I don't have to! I can spend that time straightening up my room and getting my sleep-deprived head on straight.

Also, I have everything but one social studies grade entered (they're testing today), which means that as soon as I get them graded, they can go right in the gradebook, and the final grade can be transferred to the correct spreadsheet! I've even already gotten all of my comments filled in, so I should have nothing left to do as far as grades go after that test is in.

Finally, since I didn't sleep at all, I don't run the risk of over-sleeping! I will actually get in the shower and get ready on time for Bailey to pick me up at 10 to 7! Woo-hoo!!

Now. The only problem is:
My back hurts, my neck is killing me, my eyes are starting to do that weird jumpy thing that they do when I'm not rested, AND I've still got to teach for 6.5 hours today and make it through a testing meeting this afternoon--all without falling asleep! At least I won't have any school work to do when I get home, so I can go to bed at 5:00 PM and sleep through the night!

And you better believe that's what I'm going to do, too!

I had an awesome weekend with all of the people I love, and I have some great pics from Homecoming, too! They will be posted as soon as I've recovered from the sleep-deprivation. Don't look for me until Tuesday afternoon-ish. It will probably appear as if I've fallen off of the face of the planet today and tonight (and possibly right after school tomorrow) while I catch up on my sleep.

Have a Marvelous Monday, everybody!! :-D
