EXHAUSTED
I have never been this exhausted in my ENTIRE life, and I am not even sure that being pregnant has anything to do with it. I do know that being a slacker all summer is now haunting me. School starts with kids on Monday. This entire week and four days of last week have been spent in workshops. I have had zero time from 8-3 each day to work in my classroom which made me feel very overwhelmed yesterday. It is my own fault for not getting to work as soon as I knew where I was going to be. I have quickly realized that it is tough going from not doing anything all summer to being so busy you have no time to do anything! I have not gotten home before 6 any night this week. John has been such a help-he has come straight after work the past 2 days and helped me with final touches to my classroom. It is coming together and there isn't much left to be done. I am trying to keep it simple since I will be moving classrooms sometime this fall. Preparing for 5th grade is so much different than 6th. There are lots of things that I never did for my 6th graders because there were so many of them. Since I will now only have 22 students, there is much more to be done! And I love it!! I cannot wait to start on Monday. It is getting to Monday that is killing me.

We have paid the price for not being up there this summer! But those days were such fun lazy summer days!!!
Oh--- I wish I was up there with you!! Have fun today at "Meet the Teacher". The kiddos and parents are going to love you. I'm so jealous!! Not really about all the work part but about the getting to start school. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I used your friend "the munchies" instructions on how to do it. It was a bit of brain exercise at first. I still need to figure out how to make one of those post signatures. Christi
Hey lady! I haven't personally been preggo yet...but have TONS of preggo friends... and I'd bet some of the exhaustion is all the work, but most of it is the pregnancy. Eden (Hardee now Keever)just had a baby a few weeks ago and told me that the exhaustion during pregnancy is indescribable. Just hang in there, it gets better from what I hear :)
