I think I need to come up with a name for whatever is wrong with me right now, even if it is just lethargy and sleep deprivation coming to a head. I shall call it...pedagogitis. From Wednesday to Friday, I didn't get home before 8:00PM once. Wednesday and Thursday were parent/teacher conferences (only one parent freaked out that I wasn't qualified enough to teach their kid: I guess that's a good percentage?), which at the high school last until 7:00PM one night and 8:00PM the next. Friday night was class followed by attending the high school musical...yeah, I know, that was completely my own choice, but I feel like that is the sort of thing that really committed teachers just do, no matter what. Suffice to say, when I got home Friday night, I pretty much passed out. I woke up at about 8:00 yesterday, fell back asleep until Ryan came home with breakfast at 10:30, then passes out on the couch until almost 3:00. Then, I had no problem falling asleep at 10:30 after a lovely visit with Max. My throat has been sort of achey, and I've been coughing like crazy, and I've had a headache since Thursday, but I'm pretty sure I just ran myself ragged. Now I get to spend a relaxing afternoon writing curriculum, then soldier through a potentially racous dinner at Ryan's folks' house. Goddamn, I need a vacation.
