*sigh* Have we still not learned that procastination is a horrible road to travel on? And yes, I am lying through my teeth. I'm almost a big of a procrastinator as you are (only I have a bedtime. Sigh.)

This has nothing to do with procrastination. There's been a work crunch since February (when the big vacation was) which threw the schedule out of sync. Add to that an extra monthly plan (my turn to do kindgarten) and an unexpected move (and the subsequent revision of deadlines again so everything could be done before said move), and you see how a month's worth of extra stuff was shoved into a two week period.

BTW, I wasn't being sarcastic, I actually feel like I can make it.

Excuses, excuses. Blame it all on things beyond your control. Real mature Jennifer, real mature.

Hey, at least I'm not ready to throw myself of a cliff because of the frequently changing winds here. That puts me ahead of at least two of the last seven teachers. That's counting Ellie, who really shouldn't be counted because she knows she goes home in one month.
