I just want to have fun :(

      For the past month, my life has consisted of going to work, coming home to make dinner, and doing homework, Monday through Friday. On the weekends, I do homework all day and I am not able to go anywhere because I still have so much work that I have to do. Let me just rewind here for a little bit....I am a Special Education teacher and I work at a middle school with very hormonal children. From 7:45am-4:00pm my life is all drama, all work, with little to no down time. Everyday is meeting after meeting, making sure my kids are passing their classes and monitoring behavior for my bad kids, as I like to call them, and then mountains of paperwork that needs to be completed within a certain time frame. By the time 4pm rolls around I am completely exhausted and I have reached my goal for my daily steps. Anyways, I go home, I make dinner and we eat. By this time I am so ready for bed, but unfortunately it never works out that way. I am currently going to school to get my specialist degree, a degree below a doctorates, and at one time I thought this was a really great idea. I didn't realize that it would take up all of my time every single day of the week 😞 Now I shouldn't be complaining because it will be well worth it after I am done and I can a get really good job with higher pay in the future. Sometimes I feel like quitting, but I know that is just the laziness in me trying to take over and I can't let it win me over because I know I am better than that. Did I tell you that in between all this I turned 47 years old, yikes! Sometimes I am really motivated to work and other times I just want to be in bed and watch TikTok videos all night. Regardless, I have no energy despite my many attempts to get some. This is just the beginning of the year for me, and I am already overwhelmed. Someone asked on Facebook the other day what is everybody's dream job, and that resonated with me because I had been thinking about this for quite some time now. My dream job is to be a travel blogger, so I can travel all over the world and write about my adventures. I am seriously thinking of doing this when I get older, maybe around 60 years old, so I can encourage and motivate older women to travel or solo travel if they can. But until then, I will be here, working on my homework, going to work everyday, and putting up with my hormonal students. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but sometimes I just want to have some fun.
