constant companion

I spent most of my day on the laptop getting my syllabus ready for the Methods and Materials in Art Ed class I'm teaching in the Fall. I thought I'd get it all planned out before the craziness of the school year begins. This one has been trying to creep in to my lap the whole time. She hates the laptop stealing her spot.
I wish the general public had an inkling of how much extra time teachers put into their work.
