Late in the evening

I seem to always blog at this time of day. I can't honestly say I know why that is. What I do know is that it's a highly inconvenient time to decide to write.

I'm tired.
My wit has fled the building.
I feel pressured to get to bed (since I have to get up at 5:00 am).

All in all, blogging just before bed just seems more like a pain than anything else. Still, this is the time that I remember to write. This is the time that I tell myself I better put something down, just to keep in the habit. For when I skip a day, it breeds into two weeks before I've noticed the loss. I'd prefer to write something half delirious than nothing at all.

Due to DIBELS training, I didn't get home until rather late. I feel like I just got home and it's already time for bed. Those of you who don't know what DIBELS is, it's a test (of sorts) that we give to students to check their progress in reading. Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills - to be exact. It involves having students read letters, or nonsense words, or a short story. We check for understanding of words and how many they can read in a minutes time.

Can you tell how exciting this is? To me, although it's a good way to check progress, it's just wone more thing that I have to find time for in my already overcrowded schedule. Seriously, we're already jammed up like sardines - no need to throw a cat into the mix, too.

Okay, I think the deliriousness has sunk in too far now. Time to hie me off to bed.
