After days of going to meet the deadlines, which my children are still no where near meeting.

I opted to check in with myself.

This was more than tiredness.

I can feel my body, my mind, energy depleted

But I still felt as if I need to show up

And although I am giving my best.

With A FULL time table of below average ability children

Teaching through a pandemic

Nothing about me believes I can pause

and give my self a break, before I break

We need to meet the deadlines
