No it's not. I went through the same phase. I was very under productive. It is not you...it is your energy and your state of suspended emotional quagmire.

I have been there! How much do you get for your evening shift? PM me.

God, I'm so exhausted. I have to catch up with my self, working this hard being single with 3 kids, is freekin exhausting. Wake up at 4:30 to get them dressed and by the time I'm home it's close to 6 cooking dinner and bathing and getting ready for the next morning to be back in bed by 8 or 9pm. Its exhausting just thinking of it. So looking for these couple days off. Sometimes, I just rather be broke and think about the money later rather than now and gone and take off.

I'VE FELT THAT WAY THIS WHOLE YEAR. damn cap locks. I'm not yelling. well, maybe I'm growling

Got to work late this a.m. because I just couldn't get myself out of bed. I called in, so they knew, but I know what you mean.

It's easy to let exhaustion overcome you. But you are stronger than it. Lots of people feel like you do. it's not lazy or a cop out, but it isn't WHO YOU ARE. You're a responsible person with TWO jobs (Yep, I've got two as well, so I totally get it).

Go to work. Take joy in what you do well. Breathe, I mean REALLY breathe. Think about breathing. Life is good even when it sucks. it WILL get better. Don't waste your energy worrying about being motivated or lazy....just do the best you can. Some days are baby steps just to get out of bed.

hang in there.

Oh yeah, and like Jaken said -- sometimes you just need a mental health day too! :)

This morning when the alarm went off at 5:00, I wanted to go back to sleep....

Then I got out on the freeway and there was an overturned 18-wheeler, I got to sit in traffic for 40 minutes, I really wanted to go back home and sleep until traffic cleared....

I'm not sure normal, human beings are meant to work TWO jobs, are they? It burns my ASS to think of how hard most of us work, with no hope of Social Security for the future, many of us without Retirement funds... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR - on my way to work I see all sorts of 60-70 year old retirees walking their dogs just as happy as shit. I'll never retire - I'll die at work.

you work double every freaking day. its been a long year. of course you are tired. don't be so hard on yourself.

hugs

Yes. I know what you mean. I'm totally burnt and this semester is supposed to be EASY compared to the next two coming up.

I want to just crawl under a rock.

And then the kids...both of them...are acting up. I got to hear how my son kicked his sister at the bus stop this morning. And from hearing the story, she totally taunted him. Of course she does it in a way that other people don't know.

Sigh.

Where's that rock?

Oh yeah, and clinical tomorrow morning. Oh JOY. I passed my dosage test, but messed up other things today. So I have to go back to school on Wed, but the kids have off. So that means I need to find someone to watch them. Just awesome.

And I'm trying to fit in work. Help.

Like everyone said...it's a mental health day! Take care of your self Baby, or you won't be any good to yourself, kids, or those drums.

I think your body just gets to a point when it says.....ENOUGH! And you never sleep anyway so it may be rebelling. As for being lazy.........*trigger* My husband just said I was lazy today for asking him to take our son to the bank on his way to work instead of me making a special trip out after working for 8 hours. Yeah, if I'm lazy then what are YOU?

Sorry.....hugs to you Rman!

And hugs to everyone. I see so many people on these boards working their butts off....

Sometimes you just need a mental health day. It isn't a cop out, you just have to do what you have to do.

(((HUGS)))

You and Dale need a day off.

Come over to my house, I make mean waffles!
