just wanted to see how you made it back today? I just had a planning day but it was still tiring. I was nauseated all day.
Tomorrow sure will be tough with little humans to teach and take care of.

How did you make it????

benmel31 · January 2015

Honestly, it was not bad at all. I teach middle school, and honestly, my kids are pretty great. I am physically tired but not sleepy, if that makes sense. FX this continues.

kmbeyl · January 2015

It was nice to see my students, but my class sizes are much bigger (31 seniors in each section). They were great today, but man I was SO TIRED by lunch time. Going back today was definitely a shock to the system!

Smore1129 · January 2015

We had an inservice day. I was exhausted by the end. I am curious how tomorrow will be. We do however have a snow storm headed our way so we might have our first snow day. Not sure if I want one yet.

xsarahbethx · January 2015

Can we please go back to holiday break?! They pooped me out!

kezdk · January 2015

I teach preschool so it is high paced and pretty brutal when you are feeling ill and tired. I packed tummy calming snacks like crackers, ginger candies, and Preggie pop drops. Thank God for my wonderful assistant...she is my life saver. I want to cry on the days they take her to fill in for other classes

jrthomas14 · January 2015

my 5th graders were crazy! but I loved seeing them. they did question why I was eating goldfish crackers and fruitloops throughout the day, though. ha! at the beginning of the school year, we were pregnant with our 1st & I lost the baby in September (this was after another teacher told my kiddos that I was gonna have a baby). so they were devastated when I lost the baby. I don't plan on telling them till next week when we have our 2nd ultrasound (we got to hear the heartbeat a month ago). we'll be 10weeks2days when I tell them next Friday

I hope they are happy and not too worried.

lebradford · January 2015

It was pretty exhausting, but it went better than I thought it would. I'm already counting down to the next long weekend though!

nosoup4u · January 2015

I'm so busy during the day that in don't really have time to realize how tired I am. I didn't pack enough lunch, tho, and was starving at the end of the day. And exhaustion hit me after the day was over.

I packed tons of food. Then my principal had me in An RTII meeting for 4 hours. I finally had to tell her I was gonna throw up if I didn't eat.

I overpack my lunch. I probably didn't even eat half of what I packed but I would rather have options.

DSculley1824 · January 2015

Exhausting! I'm a Speech Language Pathologist to Pre-Ks and head starts within a few elementary schools. I came home and napped. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the week. Can I start a countdown to the weekend already?! Lol

Edited: So exhausted that I can't spell.

jaeleigh25 · January 2015

Today went a whole ton better than I was anticipating! I kept snacking and hydrated and it helped. It also helps that I only teach half days..... so I came home and napped with DD for 3 hours. Now I am eating Greek yogurt and going back to bed....

melody27 · January 2015

So exhausting!! I teach special education (7 years old) and for some reason the kids all had way too much energy today!! Must have been that full moon yesterday too. I came home and sat in my recliner and haven't moved except to go to the bathroom. Count down to Martin Luther King day?

poppymt40 · January 2015

I work with special populations and am dreading tomorrow. I felt terrible today, my m/s finally kicked in today at 7wk. I'm mostly nervous about the confrontations I sometimes have with my kids being that some are ED and just rougher than other kids. I'm pretty sure I'll cry in front of at least one student this semester

mosdub · January 2015

Conveniently, my MS seems to kick in after school hours, so thankfully I didn't deal with it. Exhaustion though - damn. I came home and took a 3 hour nap.

Agreed, it was a shock to the system! Thankfully my schedule is pretty relaxed every-other-day, so I get a little reprieve throughout the week.

diwersen · January 2015

Our school has one more week of break. Thank goodness! With my head-aches and lack of energy my first graders are going to take everything I have. The lack of motivation I have now makes me incredibly worried for returning to work after maternity leave.

JoMunson · January 2015

I'm a student teacher and I told my mentor teacher that my DH and I were expecting and that I was pretty sick with HG. She was super supportive and told me about her tricky pregnancy (she routinely fainted from electrolyte loss!!) Funnily enough the zofran plus being busy all day made me feel a lot better.
Then I went home and slept for three hours.

charissumner · January 2015

We start back tomorrow. My district actually has a 4 day week calendar. Monday's are always off days which is nice.
I'm pretty much dreading tomorrow though. Due to a shortage of history teachers the school bought my planning period so I teach from 7:40-3:40 with a 25 minute lunch. So I'm preparing myself to pass out as soon as I get home.
I miss my kids though so I'm ready to go back but the thought of real pants...no. Just no.

mammaj2015 · January 2015

@charissumner‌ Ahhhh the real pants! I tried to use a belly band which wa a pain in the butt during my seventeen bathroom breaks!

The day went better than expected but I was oh so tired. Can't really sleep through the night (as you can see.)

We have snow heading our way too but we have 13 snow days built in and it's use or lose ( no time back.) so bring on the snow day!!!!

Smore1129 · January 2015

Snow day!

beachy84 · January 2015

Yesterday went surprisingly well. Today I sat in the car for 2 1/2 hours to only go 4 miles thanks to 3 inches of snow. I had 11 miles to go before I turned around and called out.

@mammaj2015 - Do you work for FCPS?

Jenn2122 · January 2015

My first day with kids yesterday was pretty good. I kept myself busy. Today on the other hand is not so good. I'm currently laying in a bean bag bc I feel so nauseous. Hopefully my prek pm kids will have a good quiet day:)

dkizz82 · January 2015

So sorry @Jenn2122‌. I was just looking around my room wondering where I could lay down. Just haven't felt it today.

Jealous....kind of

mrsarledge0604 · January 2015

Exhausted and Nauseas! Ugh!

stahlop · January 2015

Yesterday was okay, except that I was nauseous and could barely eat. I also have the cold that won't go away so I at least had that as an excuse with the kids. I called out today though. I was throwing up pretty badly last night and this morning, plus my 21-month-old randomly started throwing up as well.

hopefulreturn · January 2015

Yesterday went really well. It was much better than I anticipated. I snacked all day and was too busy to give in to symptoms. Today was a struggle though...couple real nauseous parts and the painful exhaustion. I can't wait to get in bed tonight!

drio85 · January 2015

I had a work day yesterday and a training day today. Both wore me out! I'm not ready for tomorrow at all. We are supposed to get crazy low in temps tonight. Wish it would precipitate for us though!

Dajart4 · January 2015

It went better than I expected. I had to take a 20min nap during lunch. I was exhausted. There was no nausea. Thank God!

megzillaSMASH · January 2015

I teach preschoolers and being back has been exhausting. I told DH that since we got our BFP, I have felt so pregnant. Before I knew, I just thought I was PMSing and forced myself to push through but now that I know I have 7 more months to go... fuck it, I am on the same schedule as the kids, we snack together, and lay down for rest together (I save my nap for my break.

). FX that things remain status quo for the duration of this pregnancy!

Smore1129 · January 2015

Well I had my students yesterday but it started with a 2 hour delay. Now we are closed today because of the extreme cold. I actually want to go back to work. The start and stop of this week has been crazy. Plus tomorrow I have an appointment for blood work so it's only a half day for me. Well there is always next week. I did realize yesterday that I need to pack better snacks for the afternoon. Nothing was looking good at 2:30 during snack time.

dkizz82 · January 2015

We had a snow/cold day today and I am soooo thankful. My MS is so much better when i get extra sleep.

honeybee530 · January 2015

Monday was a snow day here for us so I only had 5 kids for one 50 minute period....nice way to ease back in....Tuesday I was off for my ultrasound appointment, and now being back, I'm absolutely exhausted!! So glad tomorrow is Friday and we have a low key weekend ahead with no plans.....woohoo!!!!!!!!!!! :bz

artteacher19 · January 2015

Monday I was fine. Tuesday was miserable. Dragging my ass around, trying not to puke all day. Feigning being sick so I could teach from a chair in the front and sit the whole period. My best friend at work knows, so he checks in on me constantly. But I'm mostly thankful for these well timed days off for the cold!! Though I'm gonna miss the pay

maggiesmom1 · January 2015

I had the most stressful week in my school. We had something called quality review where our superintendent comes in and picks classrooms to observe and goes through our notes. All to grade our school. So everyone especially administration was stressed out completely. It was yesterday and he came in my classroom! My coteacher thought she was going to have to bring me to the hospital because I looked like I was going to pass out! Nevertheless it is over... we did well and now I am so exhausted I can't move lol.

misstunes · January 2015

Glad I searched first was going to start a new thread to see how you all made out with your first full week? I had students all 5 days and teach special education. Coming back after a long break is always eventful! I was not as tired as I expected but super bloated by the end of each day. Lots of bathroom trips are certainly raising suspicions with my teacher assistants! Cant wait to share the news with them after my appointment tues. One week closer to summer vacation!
