It is really hard for me to enjoy time off if I know I have work that needs to be done. I have that problem on breaks and even on the weekends. Since I don't know exactly how much time needs to be budgeted to get the work done, I just keep thinking about it. So I decided I would just do the work I had first this spring break, and be done with it. I had four sets of tests to grade (yikes!). So I graded for a couple hours on Saturday, a couple more on Sunday, and then some this morning. I was through three and a half of the sets, so after I took Christin to the airport I went in to work for a few hours. I finished grading the last set of tests, printed out grade sheets for all of them, updated my gradebook, posted grades online, and did my attendance rosters. So now I feel like I can stop thinking about work - I didn't even bring any work back home with me. So the rest of the week is mine :)
I have a few things already planned for the week - lunch with my mom, some babysitting for a friend from church, a haircut. And with the rest of the time I decided my project will be painting the family room. It's the one room of the house that I haven't painted. So it's still white from when the random guy came and painted our whole house accidentally. So I figured I would paint it the same color as the hallway upstairs - it's called "cream in my coffee", and as you may have guessed it's just a nice creamy color. Not a lot of color, but a little warmer than just white. And I can cover up some of the random blue spots that never got painted. So I went to Menard's tonight to pick up some paint and some supplies. I taped half of the room so the goal is to paint half of it tomorrow morning. The other half is a little trickier, with needing to work around the sofa and entertainment center. I love painting - it's such a quick and cheap way to make things look new and fresh :)
