I'm a first grade teacher, so working with young kids is physically exhausting. I then come home to my own two kids ages 9 and 10. Luckily, I can rest a lot...sleep over the weekend w my hubby's help w kids. On the weekends I get up around noon-2. I recharge and am ready for the next week. I'm learning to say NO to extra parent volunteering for things and trying to pace myself. If I didn't get rest on the wknd I wouldn't be able to work full time as a teacher!

I worked in a high school for 24 yrs. as a costodian .Hard work but kept me active

I went to college for early childhood education. Student teaching took too much energy from me and I couldn't handle it anymore. I was constantly in pain, but I also wasn't diagnosed yet or on medication. I am currently a youth social worker and I love it. I do home and school visits. I have my own office where I can rest if I need to and I build my own schedule. This job works so great with my fibromyalgia. I still care for kids, but in a different way.

I worked with 2nd grade. Only to help the readers that were behind and I loved it. But it was only for a few days a week and I could manage that.
