To be tired....

Tired....I used to think tired was the feeling after walking 20 miles in a day.....well, today I am tired. I spend basically every waking minute of my life with children. I have two of my own and they really are both amazing little creatures. They are constant sources of entertainment, love, and exhaustion. I also teach close 150 different teenagers....but not not the 16 and 17 year old teenagers who begin to occasionally act like adults. I teach the 13 to 15 year olds... Enough said....well, maybe not. 13 to 15 year olds are filled with the energy of 7th graders but fear the social repercussions of showing that passion. They are both wonderful and maddening at the exact same time. They are tall and short, kids and adults. They are fun and infuriating. When you add a day of 13 to 15 year olds to an afternoon and evening of 1 and 4 year olds you get truly tired. Tired is a somewhat weirdly positive way however.
