Why does teaching make me fat???

Here are some adjectives that I often describe myself as when I am run down and feeling...well let's just say it how it is, feeling like rubbish; sluggish, fat, fatigued, knackered, exhausted, beat and I'm sure many more. During a very hard and busy term, it's incredibly easy to begin to feel this way. But why? Yes, teaching is hard and demanding, but I love my job which has left me confused for a few years. I enjoy teaching, with great job and self satisfaction on a daily basis, so why am I feeling like a hippo that would rather float around in a pool of mud???

RELOCATING back to GLENCARSE, PERTH & KINROSS, SCOTLAND

Shoebox Cafe Tuition and Childcare - http://www.shoeboxcafe.co.uk We are relocating... It has been an absolute pleasure teaching and caring for your children in Wiltshire. We have loved every moment and it is sad to leave so many faces! But, we are also filled with excitement for the new opportunities and adventures ahead of us back home in Scotland!  We will be setting up our business within my gorgeous home in Glencarse with the exciting additional prospect of expanding my private tuition to #ONLINE TUITION as well as face to face. With technology changing our world at an incredible rate, we have so many new tools and platforms to help make learning fun and interactive in the comfort of your own home. How is that for convenience?  I will be updating and preparing this new venture over the summer with hope to take off in August 2018. WATCH THIS SPACE And, once again, it has been a pleasure to all those I have met in Wiltshire. You will be greatly missed. S
