I could use a good snooze

I can't figure out why I'm so tired lately. I suppose it could be the extra exercise I've been getting (dance twice a week, and boot camp once a week), but I don't think it's enough to cause this feeling of fatigue all the time.

Maybe it's the fact that my students are like hummingbirds on a sugar high these days, and my energy is spent dealing with behaviour issues, problems students are having at home, disagreements between friends, and (when there's time) teaching the curriculum.

Maybe it's the weather. It's been so up and down lately that my body can't get used to it. It got pretty warm a few days ago (temperatures above zero, if you can believe that!) and then got really cold again (minus 20 today). I guess all that change can be draining.

Maybe it's just that I have so many things on the go these days.
1. I've started volunteering again, which takes up every Saturday. I love it, despite having less free time on the weekends.
2. I went dog sledding a couple of weekends ago. I camped in a tent in -33 degree weather, something I'd never done before, and don't know if I'll ever do again, but it certainly was an experience! The dogs were amazing - I wanted to take them home with me, but that was strongly discouraged by the instructors.
3. I'm going to Ottawa in a couple of weeks to visit Chris's family. They're awesome people and I'm really looking forward to it.
4. I have to convince my principal to let me teach grade five next year or she's going to give me a split grade and put me in a pod, neither of which I'd be too crazy about.

Things aren't bad, just a bit exhausting these days. I'm sure everything will have settled down by March Break. If not, it won't really matter because I'll be relaxing on the beach in Florida and won't care quite so much!
