Blogging is slow. You may have noticed as you click around that the updates have slowed down and some have come to a screeching halt (except for Belinda, but we all know she has some sort of manic obsession). Even with the lull in writing, each and every night I still click on each blog in hopes of a new post, and on a lucky day they'll be something new to read. And then I start thinking....
What should I post about?
For along with the clicking each night, and longing for new updates, I also feel the guilt to keep my own blog exciting. So with each guilt ridden moment I wonder...
But WHAT could I post about?
You see, I have determined that January is an insanely boring month. Boring to such a degree that it's miserable because you aren't bored from lack of things to do, but bored from doing the same tedious frustrating tasks day after day, with nary a break for something - anything - fun...
And so I've thought, and thought, and thought about what I could possibly put up here...
Could I write about my debate unit in class and that really funny debate about homework? Hmm, I think you had to be there. How about I tell the story of cleaning the laundry room and finding piles of dog bones and dryer sheets and lint and...okay, no one wants to read about that. Perhaps I'll talk about about my dogs, but even they are bored. The really hard math test... The funny thing on the radio... The new dance in the play... The homemade soup I made... Playing ShwingBong...
The more and more I thought, the more depressed I got. This has not been a pleasant month. It has been uneventful (except the birth of my nephew - whom I haven't even held yet). It's been filled with entirely too much to do and not a drop of energy to do it. And the most joy I've felt was crawling in bed each night and knowing that I was one day closer to January being over.
So in my attempt to post SOMETHING entertaining I'll share the dance that my students and I created to learn about Landforms...It's fairly long, but what else are you going to do, it's January...
