I love my job, I'm just tired today. I completely feel depleted. The state testing mess is exhausting. Think I'll skip my lunchtime, take a brain break, turn off my light, and hide out in my room for a few. What do you do for a brain break?

When I need a brain break, I skip lunch, lock my door, prop my feet up on my desk, and read a book :)

Ha, that's funny, my brain break is actually quite similar to yours. I've actually had students walk into the room while I'm resting with all the lights off, they always act so concerned LOL I guess they have reason to be, they're teaching is kind of burning out...

I sometimes pull down the blinds, pit on some music and kick back in my chair. It’s sometimes so satisfying to ignore when people knock.

Oh, so very true! The frustrating thing is when they have that MASTER key, and they still come in with "I'm sorry to bother you, but...."

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
