I just can’t believe how tired I am. I’m running on empty.

I’m a uni lecturer, not a school teacher, but I hear you!
(I think others do too, but they’re probably too exhausted to respond!)

13luckyblackcats · 05/12/2021 11:11

Yep. Data has finished me off and I still have some to do

enrichmento · 05/12/2021 11:29

I haven’t felt this bad since NQT year! I’m reduced to ready dinners and just getting through the next 2 weeks.

I think everyone at my school is. Utterly exhausted.

2 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks

Me. And still lots to get done.

SquashedFlyBiscuits · 05/12/2021 22:49

Totally shattered here too. Feels like we'll never have a normal year again. Just so tired. Ds is commenting on how tired and stressed dh (teacher too) and I always are. That makes me feel sad. Sad

EarPlugAfficionado · 06/12/2021 17:17

Me too and I’ve got a re-observation this week. Bastards.

Returned today after covid. Just been reminded to make sure that my books are marked and up to date after having supplies in. SLT are convinced ofsted are coming any day. I honestly feel like handing my notice in.

Philandbill · 06/12/2021 18:42

@martim that is grim. Flowers

winewolfhowls · 06/12/2021 18:49

Me, raises hands weakly.

My thoughts go out to any of you like martim expecting ofsted

PumpkinPie2016 · 06/12/2021 19:59

Me too Xmas Sad

Been shattered all weekend and honestly feel like I haven't had a rest.

Still got loads to do as well Xmas Sad

MsGoodenough · 06/12/2021 20:07

Me too. Two years without a school show made me forget how brutal it is; find myself almost wishing bubbles will come in again so I can cancel and start sleeping again....

Clarabellawilliamson · 06/12/2021 22:14

Yup! I've got two sets of year 11 mocks to mark from last week, this week is year 12 mock week.
Absence is through the roof.
We don't break up till the 22nd. Confused

PoorMegHopkins · 08/12/2021 21:59

Utterly bloody crawling towards the holidays. Kids with covid all over the place. So so tired.

wingingit33 · 10/12/2021 18:31

On my knees. 28 weeks pregnant. Four days and counting

13luckyblackcats · 10/12/2021 21:41

I am so tired that I thought today was a Monday, so I am thrilled. Five more days.

wierdowithnoname · 10/12/2021 22:58

Yep - forget Xmas shopping or any festivities - have about 10 hours of marking and lesson prep ahead as usual for a weekend. Love being in the classroom but really resenting how much it’s taking over my life now more than ever

enrichmento · 11/12/2021 00:03

I can't even move from the sofa tonight. I'm now at the overtired and beyond sleep phase.

Not long now...

On Monday this week as the students left I said "have a good weekend everyone". They all looked at me like Confused I was so shattered and ready for the weekend.

No Ofsted next week though, apparently they are letting schools off!

@MrsTumbletap- sorry, that made me laugh!!
