With many apologies to Laura Numeroff.....
If you give an educator a February Break,
She will want to spend some time in the craft room working on a quilt project....
When she goes into the craft room, she will see the piles of papers sitting in the corner that need to be sorted and added to the tax paperwork pile.
As she spends the day sorting the paper pile, she will be reminded of the fact that she needs to find her W-2 so she can update her license so it gets a fancy gold star.
While spending the second day of break gathering all 276 forms and proof of identity papers required by the BMV, she is reminded that she will have to drive to town to finalize this transaction. There are several things in the house that need to be purged and brought to the thrift store. She shouldn't waste the gas to make two trips civilization this week, so she spends day three sorting and organizing closets and corners to gather up a full load of donations.
While de-cluttering the bathroom closet she sees her reflection in the mirror and is reminded that the BMV will probably take a photo, and she hasn't trimmed her bangs in a while. After finishing the closet and trimming her bangs she will also Clorox-wipe the bathroom sink, faucet, mirror and backsplash.
Finally, on day four, she will drive the car loaded with donations, bottle returns, snack, drink, book, and all 276 forms and proof of identity papers to the BMV to get the fancy gold star on her license.
She will spend day four completing transactions, running errands and finding a few "new-to-her" school-appropriate articles to add to her wardrobe. She may also sneak in a quick trip to the beach, since its February and she won't have to share the ocean with tourists.
She will return home to add the clothes to the laundry pile, and start a load of laundry.
On day five, she will remember that she left the laundry in the washer and head back to the basement to switch the load over. On her way through the living room, she will spy the pile of 276 forms and proof of identity papers that she left on the book case and realize they should go back in the safe in the craft room.
Upon entering the craft room, she will realize that the quilt is still sitting on the cutting table waiting to be finished.
Sighing, she looks at the calendar to see how long it is until April vacation when she has another
week off.....
'Cause it looks like she missed the class on project management....
