For teachers, ain’t no tired like a first-week tired. The nights…you crash.
It’s easy to think, at the end of the second or third day of school, that you will never, ever, under any circumstances, make it through the year. You say, “I’m going to be in bed exhausted at 7:30 every night until next summer.”
It won’t be forever. It will get better. The weeks are still exhausting, but they are manageable.
Don’t do anything the first weekend after school starts. Rest. Reeeessssst.
It won’t be forever.
