Have I gone mad?

Sometimes I question whether or not I am a rational being. Why on earth did I decide to write a grant the day before the deadline? Never mind the fact that I wasn't aware the grant even existed until just now, but what possessed me to think it was an idea worth pursuing?

I suppose I can explain myself ~ money is tight at our school and I'm a new teacher, so my ideas aren't always worth much. I'm a fairly decent writer, so it's not hard for me to crank out sentences and answer the appropriate questions. Grad school is fresh on my brain, so the current buzz words are still rolling around in my head.

But still . . . was it really worth it to frolic around like a speedwalking caffeine addict all day just to gather signatures & phone numbers & catalog numbers & so forth? I doubt it will get funded. But I can't say I didn't try, right? Whew.

While I'm a little annoyed that they've canceled school already for tomorrow (and the first flake of snow hasn't even been sighted!!), I'm sure I'll enjoy sipping tea on my own couch instead of dealing with over-excited middle schoolers tomorrow!!
