Well, it's a whole new month already. I don't know how that happened, but it's time to make some new goals. The last month has been extremely frustrating. I haven't felt well, my body is not reacting well to the weather, and I have been irritated at work and home. I hope this month will find some relaxation with Spring Break here and in the downward slide of the school year once we return.
Here are my goals for March:
1. I WILL be getting our tax paperwork together this month. I really don't have a choice in the matter at this point. We're getting pretty close to the deadline.
2. This month I want to relax after work at least two days a week. This means that I will not grade papers, work on lesson plans, or check work email. I will actively try not to worry about what happened during the day or what is to come the next day. Two days a week I will devote to ME and MY family.
3. In March I would like to finish reading at least one print book. I finished an audio book last month, but I wasn't able to get in enough reading time to finish an actual book. I need to take more time for the activities I enjoy. I am in the middle of a book I reviewed called "Defending Jacob." I would really like to finish that one.
So, there it is. This is the month of taking care of myself, I guess. I need that. What do you have planned?

Taxes....UGH.
I like your idea of taking more time for yourself and actually relaxing and doing things you enjoy. A teacher's work is never done! So it is very important to take time away from it when you can. Good for you!
