I don't know how I'm going to survive this year

Today was my first day of students.  It was my "short" day (I only teach 3 hours straight instead 4.5 hours straight+ planning, meetings, etc.) 

My last class of the day was wild and in serious need of taming.

I'm so fricking tired.  My feet are going to fall off. I think I need to go to bed when my son does (7:30) in order to get up at 5:20 and do it all over again x 4 more times this week.

When I got home I was so tired that the only energy I had to play with my son was to lay on his bed next to him while he played with his trains.

And after one day with students, I felt pretty crampy and sore in my abdomen.  I'm not even showing yet and I feel like I need a belly support belt.

Gulp!

I'm so sorry that your schedule is so tough hon. My first day back with the kids is on the 7th, and I am dreading it. I know that I have a tough group this year.

Hopefully you will be able to whip that last class into shape soon so they don't give you so much trouble

I'm sorry your first day back was so rough!  I hope tomorrow is a little easier for you.

The first couple weeks are always the toughest while you set up routines and set the ground rules. i hope it gets easier!

That being said I'm thrilled not to be teaching this year. I don't think I could handle it!
