I could really use some rest

So I am going to bed.
You may not realize that the types of students in our program often have some severe behaviors. We saw quite a bit of it today.
Talking with other educators after school, it seems a lot of the kids had issues today across all grade levels. Some of the problem is the rainy weather we are having which means "indoor recess".
Add to that Spring Fever. And all the extra activities, like the Fire Drill and field trips, and character building assemblies and spelling bees and the list just keeps on going.
I am glad tomorrow is Saturday.

I wish you could find some other type of job to pay your bills.
I'm glad tomorrow is Saturday, too, for your sake. (It doesn't matter to me what day it is anymore.) I hope you have a good rest from school.

I will always have a place in my heart for the kids with different disabilities. I am having a nice day at home today, though.

Thanks. I think it grew on me. I never would have planned this at all.

SOunds like you need a well-earned break. You and the kids both need it.

Having the weather turn cold and wet is difficult. I am ready for spring.

@GardenGerty If you were here in Florida, you'd be complaining about the heat.

Hubby is running some errands, and he made me an omelette for breakfast. My brain is getting a recharge. Pesky weather is not helpful.

My doctor even said so. It really affects mental health a lot. When I first told my doctor that I wake up a lot with headaches in the spring, she said I might have sleep apnea, I did not agree. Recently, though, she said I get headaches from changing barometric pressure.

@GardenGerty I know people swear by the lights they use when the days are long and dark. I'm lucky the weather doesn't seem to affect me.

For some reason Thursday night I just could not sleep. It really made me tired for Friday.

@GardenGerty Sorry, I use Spike Lavender essential oil to help me sleep and listen to relaxing sounds.

@GardenGerty Me too! More thunderstorms after 9 pm tonight and the severe stuff comes in after midnight all morning long. I'm really tired of this here and all the tornadoes.

Nice thing about the school year is the various breaks and days off.

@GardenGerty I fell asleep on and off yesterday. I rarely get much sleep.
