All Tuckered Out

It seems that lately I have not been getting enough sleep. I think that's the problem, anyway. I have been SOOOOO tired. Today it came to a head when I found myself nodding off during our chapel service at school.

It has been Spiritual Emphasis week and the speaker they brought in, Norm Funk, is fantastic. His words have challenged me every day. He is speaking about going beyond our limits and doing what may be thought of as impossible. His use of real life examples make the lessons interesting and most days, despite my exhaustion, my ears have been tuned in to the message. Today I am sure that his words were equally as interesting, yet I simply could not focus!

My eyes kept drifting shut and I would snap them open out of the fear that the grade 9 and 10 students sitting around me would see their teacher drifting off during chapel. That would be a travesty! My mind kept wandering around and when it was finally over I retreated to my room in relief...it was lunch time. Normally I eat lunch in the staff room and chat with my friends but today, I was just too tired!

What's going on? Why the exhaustion? It could have something to do with the fact that I don't think I have made it to bed before 11 a single night this week AND I have only made it to the gym to work out once but still...wake up girl!

Here's to hoping I get some much needed rest this weekend. Maybe next week I will manage to stay awake in chapel.
