XP Any teachers here?

in Infertility
I am in my 11th year of teaching & with all of the changes AND infertility issues, I feel like I am going to EXPLODE. I am working on my evaluation stuff right now & I feel like:a) cryingb) screamingc) drinking insane amounts of wine (at 10:35 am)d) running awaye) committing a crime (jail may be more fun than THIS!) If I am not freaking out about infertility, I am freaking out about work. I can't catch a break. I have had to take off a LOT of time from work to deal with IF & I am feeling the burn.  If there are any teachers, how do you cope?
