Hello everyone today is my birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂8/11
Five days but whose counting? 😵💫
Thought this was funny.
Literally my face...every....day
Herding velociraptors, basically!
This is proof that our school system is failing.
I'm going to have to show my students this one! 😂
Haha! We had this conversation already.
I’ve never identified with anything more
Happy Valentine’s Day teachers!

Out like a light
Idk. I find sleeping quite enjoyable.
I feel you. The same happens with me. Friends sometimes invite me to go out, and I literally have no energy, even only after the first week

I don’t think anyone outside of teaching understands how tiring the constant multitasking, decision making, and load of responsibility is for us. The work never seems to end when school is in session. Yes, people in other jobs also work hard, but those of us in helping professions who see many more people per day are especially vulnerable to burnout. We teachers work with many people, kids and adults, who really don’t want to be at school, and that adds a whole other emotional layer to the exhaustion. Do something nice for yourselves this weekend; I will do the same. You’re not going to get a special mental health day or a gift card from your employer like the people who work in tech companies get.
Fridays nights are family time. My husband or I pick up dinner, fix a drink, turn on the TV, and talk about our week. Sometimes our week has been so hellacious that we eat and fall asleep on the couch or the floor 🤣. We’re both educators and we both have side hustles, so Friday nights are usually the only night that we can squeeze in for each other.

Just woke up from an unintended Friday night nap. Bed is probably in the near future.

Same. I was asleep at 7PM.😝
Sleep sounds great! Too bad I need to catch up on everything over the weekend. Maybe get some sleep at Christmas break.
I’m the “sleep sounds great” teacher. We’ll just now I was picking up the bowl next to me on the couch and starting to stand up. The bowl fell from my hands and broke. It was a cereal bowl which said “go get ‘em” Guess I am tired on Friday.
Wine… to sleep. Then I work most of Saturday planning, grading, creating. 😩🤪🤷♀️ We are in week 5, we started 2nd week of August.
I can’t stay awake Friday nights, either.
Jusr fell asleep watching over-I’m exhausted after two days of students.

Too busy at football games to notice.
Friday night high school football

If not with my band at a football game I usually fall asleep on the couch. My kids say the furniture watches more TV than I do!!
Take at least one day off on the weekends.
Same with me!🤣🤪
Good question. I know the feeling.😴🥱
I know the feeling all too well
