Time and the lack thereof

I’m taking the time to blog before I leave work because I feel it’s important to start getting into the habit. I spent way too much time today doing maintenance work. There are so many projects that need to be worked on, but I can’t do unless I get chunks of time to spend on them. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get time in chunks to get things done. Unfortunately, in the near future, many projects are going to be moved from the “should get done” pile to the “should have been done yesterday” pile. Besides conferences, so far I’ve taken one day off of work. This has not been the way I imagined this summer to be. Ok, no more griping.

This weekend is going to be the dedication the Habitat house that my in-laws are getting. VERY exciting stuff. We’re heading out there today to see the dedication and to help them pack up and move. We’ll only be there for about 30 hours though because we have to get back for Antonia Tapias’ birthday.

So far, this blog has no theme at all to it. I’d like it to be about Jessica, Solo and me, but posts seem to fall into one of two categories: Working on the blog and Frustration with work. I think I need to set up my own personal blog and keep it seperate from the Family blog. In fact, I think I need three blogs. A personal one to bitch through, a family one to put news on, and a work blog that I use for actually intelligent postings about educational technology, professional development and other related topics. So what’s stopping me? I have no time. I should be doing it at home at this point, but by the time I get home I collapse. Wasn’t technology supposed to be fun? Most days, it doesn’t seem so fun anymore. Wow. I can be really depressing when I let the internal dialogue go on too long.
