my slightly unrealistic goal is to leave the school by 4 every day. today i shoved off at 4.30, but i still have the following to do:

staple packets
grade a 4" stack of papers
staple reward tickets together to send home
call some parents
put together materials for substitutes
drive across town to pick up a geography book
plan lessons for next week

i really really need a backrub and some sleep.
