OMG..I am SO tired (get out the violins)

[KarenB]

OK....just have to whine for a few minutes....

I am SO tired!!! I have been going full time to college while being a mom of two young teenage boys, a wife, and working on the weekends for 4 1/2 years nonstop. I am student teaching now (which I love) but I feel that I have just run completely out of steam. My brain and my body are drained.......and I have to work a 10 hour waitressing shift tomorrow. I have been fighting back the tears all day as I was planning my lessons for the upcoming week. I also feel like I have been ignoring my kids and DH.

Any suggestions on how to get some energy???

I guess I just have to keep thinking that May 10, graduation day, will be here soon and it will be well worth it.

Wow...do I need a trip to Disney!!!


Thanks for listening!
Karen

Awwww.... sweetie - I can't get the violin out - it sounds as though you've been a 1 man band for way too long!!!

Prop up your feet, get a cup of cocoa and just breathe in, breathe out.....................

The girl has enough stress already...

Great, Karen - next he'll be telling you how terrible of a cook I am.....

It will be over soon. It's almost the end of the year.

I really admire you. You have so many irons in the fire, no wonder you are tired.

Go to bed and get some rest

No idea about that..
Just think Karen, a Yankee Candle will be arriving sometime...

Thanks for the replies. I am getting ready for the waitressing shift from "you know where." I stayed up late to get my planning done and organized. Hopefully I can take some time to relax tomorrow.
Just have to make it through today first.

shep..I don't even want to know what the vomit comment means! But I know my YCE will make me smile!

nativetxn...I think you have watched and listened to me go through most of my education! Thanks!

Pam and JC2...Just keep reminding me to breathe.

I think this once this week is over, it will be smooth sailing. It is also the week that all the reflections, units, paper work, observations, etc are due for my university supervisor. (and I am not one to leave things to the last minute!) When it rains it pours!

Pam--call a time out and take 30 minutes just for you (I know that is hard to do)--light that Yankee Candle and take a bubble bath while drinking your beverage of choice. It is amazing how a little self-pampering can help you make it through!

You can do this! Go, Pam!

 

[JohnTBap]

You can do it!! Hang in there - the benefits are worth it!!
