I fell asleep a little after four yesterday after I got home from work and was eating my supper. Thankfully, I wasn't holding anything in my hands. My eyes opened at six yesterday evening and I decided to go ahead and go to bed. This morning I did not want to get out of bed. I kept closing my eyes and going back to sleep. Normally, I would get up whether I wanted to or not. When my eyes opened once again and I saw it was 10:30 on the clock and I talked myself out of the bed.

This week the children have been bouncing off the walls and ceilings more than usual. I have been emotionally drained with the constant correcting of their behavior. When I think of having to do this for even ten more years; I wonder if I can do it. I love the children, I love the work hours; knowing I am off every weekend, I enjoy working with my coworkers, but I don't know if I can hold up physically and emotionally.
