Can’t Get Enough Sleep

I just don’t know what the deal is. It seems that lately I jsut can’t get enough sleep. I had a rough weekend, but then slept until lunch Sunday thinking that I would be caught up, but yesterday by the end of the day I was EXHAUSTED!  So I go home and nap from 4:30 to 6:30. I went back to bed at 10.  Could I wake up this morning? Am I full of energy?  Nope….still craving bed time.  It just seems like no matter how long I sleep, I can’t get over this permanent state of exhaustion….ugh!!!!  (I think I’m getting old!)

Exhausted

Wow!  What’s going on this week?  I’ve noticed that not only am I totally exhausted, but my students are looking exhausted too.  Their eyes are just tired looking.  I’ve been laying down and napping every afternoon possible lately.  I just can’t seem to maintain enough energy to move through the day. By the time I get home, I look at the dishes and laundry,  but I’m totally unmotivated to do anything about either. I’ve struggled to barely feed my girls. That’s all.  I have managed to keep the dishes done, but the laundry is just piling up.  I’ve decided it’s not worth it right now.  I know, I know….shame on me, but for some reason I just can’t get myself too excited this week.

If it wasn’t for the kids looking like they are as tired as I am, I would probably be worried. Instead I’m working harder to be cheerful and upbeat with them, and feel like I’m working doubletime keeping their attention and keeping them on task.

The good news….this week is past that half way mark.  Two more days and the weekend will be here.  Can’t wait!!
