Brain Burning Week

I've been at company meetings and trainings for the past 3 days. This is sooo exhausting. I don't understand how is it that I can be attentive when it comes to going to my classes, but when I have to attend training classes that involve work I can not stay up no matter how much I try. I'm really cool with my trainer and he keeps on making jokes about how I'm not paying attention and I'm falling asleep. I can't even try to hit him back with a smart comment because he's right. Maybe it's because I'm not as interested. He's an amazing trainer, I know it's not him, but this certainly isn't as interesting as an art class, like the one that I'm taking now nor does it have anything to do with education, because I'd find it interesting then. I know I would be highly attentive. I feel bad, he really is a good trainer and I don't want him to think my disinterest has anything to do with him. Maybe I'll apologize after training is over today.

On another note, today is the last day of school for my son and he was soooo excited. He couldn't wait to get home and he hadn't gotten on the bus yet. I'm in a very difficult situation now. Camp for kids is not cheap and someone has to watch my son while I work and go to school. I keep asking myself what the heck I'm going to do. It's nearly $900.00 per month for two and a half months of no school. Why can't kids just go to school all year round? There's a good idea. Maybe they can go every day Monday through Friday from 9-5pm. Then I could take him and be there when the bus brings him back. Should I write to the Department of Education about this? I'm sure I'm not the only parent in favor of this, right?

Anyway, right now I'm on lunch break from this training class. The class re-starts at 1pm and I'm trying to take advantage of the free time I have which hasn't been much this week. I'm sooo behind on everything and it's time to engage in crunch time. It's several sleepless nights for me for the next couple of days. I have to catch up.
