Why am I so tired all the time?? I don't get it. I put a plan in place for this, you know. I know I need to be up early, so that means I need to be in bed early. My bedtime this semester is 10 pm. TEN PM. And I'm a 3 am kinda girl. And I wake up at 6. SIX AM. And being a 3 am sleeper, I'm kind of naturally a noon riser. So my body was definitely screaming, trying to figure out what madness I'm doing, but I think I got it into the rhythm. So much so that I even keep the alarm on on the weekends. Sometimes, I don't actually make it to bed on time, and sometimes, I hit snooze. But generally, in aiming for 8 hours, I'll get at least 6, 7 more often than not.
But I'm still tired. I don't understand how on a Monday morning after a long weekend, I feel so dead in front of the kids. At the end of the day, they have thoroughly worn me out! And I'm young! But I feel like I can't keep up! And my co-op is telling me that especially for the K & 1st graders, I need to quicken my pace. So I've been trying. And she says it's improving. But I am so tired. There's gotta be a better way to do this.
Maybe it's my diet? What should I be eating? Maybe I need to be better with my vitamins? Maybe I need some power bars? More protein? Carbs? I dunno. And I'll be honest and say it's hard enough on this 'college-student no-campus-job-cause-I'm-student-teaching' budget to keep up a regular diet, let alone have to supplement. Sheesh.
Lord, make me to lie down beside green pastures, restore my soul! I mean, is there no rest for the weary?
