Exhausted

I haven't felt true exhaustion in so long. I was always really responsible about getting to bed on time, getting enough sleep and making sure I wasn't overdoing it.
In the past few week, I have felt exhaustion like never before. I started with Friday, when I was in school during the day and at Cracker Barrel at night. I woke up at 6 a.m. and didn't fall asleep until 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning. I think I did OK catching up over the weekend, but come Monday, I was at overdoing it again. I woke up at 6 a.m. to attend the first solo day of a 12-week sub position dealing with emotional support kids. I left school at 3:20 p.m. and drove to Harrisburg where I studied for a quiz. Then, I went to class. I didn't return home until after 9 p.m., only to do it again the next day. Well, Tuesday after work, it caught up to me. I took a 30 minute nap. Wedensday I took a 2 hour nap. Thursday, I took a 2.5 hour nap. It's getting ridiculous. I go home, sit down and have no energy to get back up. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself out of the funk long enough to take a cycling class last night and walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes. It was invigorating. When debating whether to exercise or not, I always remind myself how alive I feel when I am through, but sometimes the bags under my eyes and the exhaustion in my bones keep me from even attempting.
The exhaustion doesn't look to be ending anytime soon. I have a short time after school today before I have to be back at Cracker Barrel, and I return on Saturday (the bills have to get paid and we have been spending a lot at Lowe's and Home Depot as of late.) Then Sunday looks like a day to run errands, catch up on cleaning and return phone calls. Monday is a holiday, but I still have to go to class.
I am hoping to find a cure for this exhaustion and get back to the crafty, decorating girl I was before I took this 12-week sub gig. Who knew a dozen teenagers could wipe a girl flat on her back?
