Paper, Paper, Everywhere!

This is my third tackle-it Tuesday, and what I'm tackling might not seem like much, but I am drowning in paperwork!

First, I have the stack of papers to grade, of which only half are pictured here. I have all the paperwork to complete from last week when my son was absent - my paperwork, not his. Catching up on forms to fill out at school/work (I teach), technology updates, staff development registrations, parent meetings, essay contest forms, and so forth. I also have to type several lessons and activities and make copies ( more paper!) and create a powerpoint presentation on Charles Dickens. Then, there is the paperwork at home. I have to keep up with both checkbooks. Nothing has been entered in over a week, and the debit cards are used like crazy. Thank goodness for online banking. Next, there is the pile of unopened mail that's been sitting almost a week. I also have to make lists of what we do and don't already have for Christmas. And who mentioned Christmas cards? That's going to have to wait till another Tackle! Wish me luck!
