Me, three. Love the Scarlett O'Hara analogy, Ink. I've gotten so bad that I'm reduced to prepping for class while the students are taking a 10 minute reading quiz at the beginning of class.
Yesterday, I told my comp students that I would definitely have their revisions back by Tuesday (this is after breaking several other promises). After I said it, I checked myself told them to scratch that "definitely" part and said that I should give up such vows.

Me, too. I've been feeling like the Scarlett O'Hara of grading: kind of fiddle-dee-dee before* BUT now I'm making vows with my fist in the air.
*though not because of going to parties a la Scarlett but because being swamped by work.

Good Enough, I completely understand! Every time I promise something to a class, I should *immediately* unpromise it.
