deliriously tired

dear friends,

this sapling is deliriously tired. this week confirms what i've always known about myself; i become a zombie when i clock in less than 6 hours of sleep. i was constantly closing my eyes during meetings today while exhaustion slowly enveloped me. everyone noticed. my professional development teacher at the school, my resource teacher, a fellow new teacher, and my old science teacher now colleague were just a few people who asked me about it. no joke, i was so tired that i felt frazzled and ready to cry, but i had no reason to aside from self-inflicted sleep deprivation. everyone was very understanding and pulled me aside to make sure that i take it easy (the kids aren't at school yet!) and don't burn myself out. it was very comforting and i really appreciate them looking out for me =) i now have a shoulder to lean/cry on, literally, a wall i can bang on when i go crazy (my next door classroom neighbor), and a great group of teachers looking out for me.

what can I say? God's love is so good. 

tonight's agenda:

  • begin looking at some of the files my friend gave to me 
  • begin thinking about and compiling what i need for the first day of school
  • go to bed early
