it's a mumford & sons Saturday, minus the mumford & sons

I've never blogged from my blackberry, but that's precisely what I'm attempting to do. It's early, and despite a cummulative 8 or 9 hours of sleep, I still don't feel rested. I am convinced that part of my struggle in recent times can be traced back to my inability to get a solid chunk of sleep. Dublin wakes me up every 30-90 minutes so even when I manage to get 5 or 6 hours, it somehow isn't re-charging me. Last night I came home from work and took a nap from 6ish to 11ish. I got up for a few hours then slept again from *lmost 3 to just after 7. That's a lot of rest, but, again, still not feeling recharged. Robert think it's the lack of thyroid meds that's got me dragging. If he's right, I'll found out at the end of the month when my insurance kicks back in and I can get bloodwork, medication refills, etc.

Work is really busy lately, which is great since without us being really busy, then I'm on lay off again, but there too I'm struggling. I feel like I can't catch up. Even with extra weekend hours, I'm constantly behind. I start every week trying to play catch up from the week before, which just doesn't seem to ever happen.

So what do I do, facing a lack of rest and an overwhelming amount of work? Commit to 4 more years of school! Yep, it'll be 4 more years. The next year will be mostly lit and comp classes (because I'm going to be a language arts teacher). Next summer will be a science for teachers class, and a history class (which I can't believe I don't already have). The next 2 years are all sorts of great teacher instruction courses after which I'll actually have my teaching certificate and can teach, and the final year is the last few courses to finish the masters. Right now I honestly don't know if I have another 4 years of school in me. I don't know how else to build myself a career, though... At least, certainly not a career that I think I might enjoy... Although, really? The chances are just as good that I will be a disaster as a teacher and this is another misguided undertaking.

I'm guessing that this post is full of nonsensical run-ons and other mistakes, but as I said, I'm posting from the blackberry. Hopefully it makes enough sense to at least convey a general update of where I am...
