Work-a-holic

I spent many, many hours at school yesterday. There were some things - filing, paperwork, hoop jumping - that I HAD to do, but many of them - cleaning, organizing, cataloging - were things I just wanted to do. Apparently one weekend and the knowledge that I don't have to entertain anyone enables me to return to work. I adore working with children and I would be miserable if my job were like this all the time, but for now I am happy to shut my door, crank up my music and input data on the computer (I am making a comprehensive list of all the books in my classroom library for next year). Sometimes it is nice to spend some time ALONE.
