Why can't I be tired when I want to be?

I think I'd be doing ok if I was tired at say 8 pm vs. 8 am.  I'm tired all day and then at 7 pm I get a burst of energy that lasts until 11 pm.  Last night I was up a couple times during the night and couldn't fall back asleep too.  WTH body, get with the program?!  I am grateful for the burst of energy though, I need all the help I can get.  Lots to do, never enough time or energy to do it!

Anyone else out of sorts like this?  This happened last time I was PG too.  Grrr!

I am totally like this. Exhausted all day, awake at night. Booooo Body!

Hope your body gets with the program!

   And...what doesn't help, is that I've also been a MEGA-B&^%$ lately-- I have absolutely NO patience for any of my students' nonsense, disrespect, or defiance.   

This is how I am with my kids.  =0  I feel so bad about it, but seriously, I have zero patience for defiance and testing limits right now.  I'm having to dig really deep to get control of myself and use some of my tricks to get them to comply w/o getting into a power struggle.  At the same time, I think it's good b/c I have probably been waaaay too tolerant of their shenanigans and they really need to shape up before #3 arrives.  ;-)

I'm feeling the same way with my students. I teach at an alternative high school in the morning and at a community college in the afternoons.  I called out 5 different college students on bad behavior the other day. Really, they deserved it but usually not my style to embarrass.  At this point, I just don't have any patience for their usual crap.
