Emotions

Hi ladies, is this normal? I have been feeling racked with guilt! My year 10 will lose thier teacher just before they sit thier GCSE's next year. I have a new tutor group who will lose me early on too. Next year is just promising to be such a good one proffesionally, with lots of exciting classes and a sideways move with new responsibilities.I love loads of the kids I teach (and get on so well with thier parents and my colleagues) We need to make a descision about where to move to as hubby travels 120miles a day on the M25 and would make more sense to move closer for him, but then I will not be able to go back to my school afterwards unless we move again after my maternity leave... then do we buy or rent. It's all so confusing and I'm so tired... I feel racked with guilt... though don't know why... standing outside for whole afternoon at sports day hasn't helped. One of the Teaching assistants who I get on really well with, has a son in my year 10, and when another teacher brought her baby in she turned to me and said please wait until Jack has finished his GCSE's. I feel so guilty, and a little sad almost (even though I know next accademic year will be very exhausting with pregnancy, and I have a fair way to go). Got loads of work to do and would rather just sit and cry right now! Did any of you feel like this so early on?

oh hun dont feel guilty u love the children to bits, but u and your family have to take priority, and people will understand, it proves wat a amazing teacher u r when the lady asked u to stay. you will have alot on when baby arrives and u will get very tired as u get futher on in pregnancy,120 miles that your hub drives is such a long way and petrol isnt cheap u will save money if u move closer althouth i not saling this is apriority,but it will cut hubs work time and u can spend more quality time as a family. u will need to compare mortgages and rental properties to make that decision. your sadness is real but can be heightened by hormones, i think where u work is a big part of your life and i admire u for that and as it is this ismaking u feel emotional too. u must follow your head as well as your heart. i am very sorry i know wat i write isnt much help but when i saw it was u i couldnt ignore your post. u will be ok hun and i know u will decide wat is best for u all take care and cry as much as u need to love ann xxx
Thank you so much Ann, you are so supportive. Just realised I forgot to go for my massage as well, am just shattered, think a good long sleep will help. Hope the tiredness lifts a little soon! I can't imagine staying awake at work as it is... I can't imagine how I will cope if I get any more tired!!!
