Officially on Burn Out...

What is it about April that makes you not want to work? Is it just me? Is it a teacher thing? Or does everyone feel hesitation about going to work this time of year? Is it the pollen? Regardless, I am sitting here in class, my students are reading a novel, their fine and I am done. I mean as in turkey, done, finished. I have one student procrastinating so bad he is throwing two pens up in the air and trying to catch them with both hands, one is staring into space yawning, and of course all others are working and using their time wisely, BUT I feel like the two that are off task. Pfff! Plus, I am hungry. I believe a part of me wants to be a stay at home mom, but I can bet you a lot of money, I secretly like working, just more on my terms. Don't get me wrong, this is the job for me, I love it.  If I had the days to take off, I might not be here today. Maybe that is it, Henry and I were sick so much at the beginning of the year, that when I started spring semester, I had 2 1/2 days left. Blah. I'm on burn out, it just started earlier than usual this year. It is not a good feeling and with no more holidays until summer, Lord help me. I get frustrated with the kids, but who can blame them, if I am feeling like this, they are surely feeling a bit off track. I have a Subway in my fridge calling my name.(see what I mean) Back on topic, sorry I don't mean to rant, I am just amazed at my lack of motivation all of a sudden. Not that I will do my job with less effort, you know me, I go at it a 100%, it is just taking me longer than usual to get there... I am just ready for summer, I am definitley not the year round worker.

*sigh*

What do you think? Is it this time of year?
