exhaustion
By Carolyn B.

When I first began teaching, I felt as if I was on a never-ending merry-go-round. It spun around so fast that I got dizzy. I wanted to beg to get off, but I realized that it was my job, the job I had elected to do. I made
some modifications, plus I obtained some experience which made me more efficient at doing my job. I learned to say to myself that I couldn't do everything every day. My house isn't a Better Homes and Gardens showcase. Sometimes it's just a mess. I don't like its lack of order, but it's the sacrifice I make to do my job. My husband helps a great deal around the house, too.
These

days I no longer feel as if I'm on that merry-go-round. I realize that there are limitations to what I can and can't do in a single day. If I don't get something accomplished in a day, then I save it for the next day. As long as I am moving forward with my responsibilities, I don't feel as if I am procrastinating or avoiding them.
