I swear I would have lost my head today if it wasn't attached. Though I am pretty sure I managed to lose my mind at some point today and I haven't found it yet. I can't even write this without getting completly distracted right now!!
Anyway just to give you an idea of how my day has been, I woke up with a sore throat, got to work late because I kept getting distracted all morning, had to get grades in and it took way longer than it should have, and that was all before lunch. After lunch it got worse! Since my throat was hurting I decided to change my lesson plans and have 2nd grade watch a video, but forgot to get it out of my car before they came to my room, so had a neighbor teacher keep an eye on them while I ran out to my car. In the midst of hurrying to get the video out of the car I managed to lock my keys in the trunk. So I run back to class and start the video. Then I remember I have Emergency Road Service from my car insurance company but can't find the number to call. After searching the website for half an hour I finally found the number. At least I didn't have to pay to get my keys out. And with all of that all of the kids were completly wired today! Then after school I ran home to pack and head to my parents. In the process of leaving I had to turn around and go back to the house twice!! And still managed to forget several things.
Really in the scheme of things everything wasn't that bad. However I still feel like I have lost my mind, and it doesn't help that I feel kinda sick. Maybe it is the weather, considering it has gone from mid 80's to snow flurries in the span of 2 days. Maybe it is the full moon. I don't know I just can't focus at all!
Though hanging out with my 2 year old niece always puts a smile on my face even when I am in a weird mood.

Focus change produces temporary unfocused view, unless done gradually at a comfortable tempo.
Fast focus changes are probably best left to quick-change professionals, who are trained specifically for that.
Distractions are mandatory in real life, self-healing innocence (preventative maintenance eg. stretching, slow-deep breathing) can over-ride redundant time-consuming distractions to a degree, while others require a grain of salt and still others a wing and a prayer...
Hope that doesn't sound like mumbo-jumbo!
