It's the weekend!

The weekend is not created equally.  For 90% of the people I know it means two days off work, time for relaxing and getting things that you want to do done.  Yet, for myself and most of the teachers I know, it's two work days that we get that just happen to be at home.  Tim has always struggled with the idea of bringing home work.  Yet, it seems no matter how hard I try, there is always something that needs brought home over the weekend.

Today is a great day to work inside.  With the windchill down to 3, it isn't the type of day you want to be outside.

Yet, to avoid getting my work done, I decided to go out and shovel.  Haha, that was 40 minutes poorly wasted, as I only got about maybe the first 5 feet of our driveway shoveled.

I'm trying to find ways to motivate myself to get to work, but I'm finding it extremely difficult.  How do you get yourself motivated to do your weekend work?

Why I'm Here

I have a lot to say.  Anyone who deals with me on a regular basis would agree.  Especially when it comes to my job and special education, I can get pretty opinionated.  Sometimes, I just keep my mouth shut.  Sometimes, Tim gets an earfull when he gets home (he loves that).  Other times, I open my mouth but need to censor myself.  Needless to say, I have a lot to say that goes to waste.  I figured, what better way to get my thoughts out there but a blog.

I will say, I'm not by any means a professional blogger.  My writing ability is sub-par, and I tend to ramble.  As for knowledge, I like to think I have a pretty solid knowledge base when it comes to special education and topics related.  However, I am not an expert.  My vision is not to "tell it like it is" but to start a conversation.
