Downtime: Real or Make Believe

I'm a little late on this linky party, but I just had to do it! I love stuff like this! After thinking long and hard about my professional goals, I turn now to this thing called downtime. 

I visited Ninjawords to find the definition of this word that has eluded me for years. 

Well that explains it! "Beyond one's control." That my friend is something I am not a fan of...maybe/hopefully that is true for most teachers. :)

2013 will be different for this no-downtiming girl! I'm going to control my downtime. HA! Look at that! I am going to MAKE myself do nothing. I need this. I really do. No reading/blogging/cleaning/planning/professional reading/momminess/creating/worrying/etc.

I can do this....right? Have you done it? If so, share your secret-I beg you!
