Work.

I am having a really hard time at work. I get so exhausted in the afternoon. I often feel very sick either I get nauseous or I get a really bad headache. I can't take anything for the headache because it makes me feel even sicker. I always want to lie down. My body just can't take working 9 hour days. My day is 1st period, 2nd prep, 3rd period, lunch, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th. Each class is an hour long. So I go 4 hours without getting a break. I am having a hard time even going to the bathroom in between classes because I am always busy. It is no wonder how I got a UTI. I am just not really sure how much longer I can do this. I am really hoping I feel better during the 2nd tri because if I don't this is going to be a really rough year. I have never felt more tired in all my life. I slept almost all weekend and could still sleep right now. I wish I could have 30 minutes in the afternoon to just lie down. I know I am being a baby but I seriously am really freaking tired and dealing with 30 kids every hour is stressful when you aren't feeling good. My students must think I am a hypochondriac because I am always not feeling well. These are the times I wish I worked a normal job where I could get a slightly lessened workload so that I could feel better. Just 30 minutes in the afternoon to myself would make a huge difference. I haven't told my principal yet that I am expecting and I am sure she won't be very supportive of what I am going through. My work is so stressful. Our principal is uber strict and I have to have my students engaged at all times. I know I should have them engaged but when you feel on the verge of puking yet never do it is hard to keep focused on anything but making sure you don't puke. I just don't see how she can accommodate my needs. I just want to feel like a normal person and not be so stung out at work. On top of it all I want to do when I get home is sleep and yet I have homework to do for my classes. I never got this tired or exhausted or nauseous with Eve so this was a little unexpected. I think I might have to tell my principal this week and pray that she will understand how I am feeling and be at least sympathetic towards me.
