The lack of sleep finally caught up with me. Although I had a restful night, the debt stemming from the previous 6 nights finally took hold and deflated my sails. By the end of the day, I was ready for a big beer and a night in front of the TV. Reflecting on the day as I was writing my standard "TOC Notes for the Day" that I email to all the teachers I go in for, it didn't seem that bad.
But man, these middle schoolers can make me just plain exhausted.
I don't think I'm cut out for the 8th graders. Not long term (or without a serious increase in my coffee intake), anyway. Tomorrow's a new day, and for now, the pillow calls...

P.S. The scary omen staring me in the face is the fact that I'm at another middle school tomorrow (Fridays are generally the toughest), and it's going to be day #13 in a row. I expect Poe's raven will come tap-tap-tapping on my chamber door.
