The "Blah's"

For the last few days, I have had the "blah's." I don't have any energy - I just want to either just sit around or sleep. I have to make myself get up and go. Even my appetite seems to be gone. I just feel "blah."
I suppose it's the whole "after Christmas" time that is getting me down. I can't pinpoint a specific reason for feeling low. I did have the flu from Christmas until New Years but I'm over that. Jacob has walking pneumonia right now, though. He's in pretty good spirits considering he isn't allowed to do all the fun weekend things he usually does - like go to the farm with his Dad - ride his 4-wheeler - play with his buddy Samuel - you know that kind of stuff little boys love to do on the weekend. Bless his little heart, he has really been a trooper.

I've been entertaining the idea of continuing on with my education. Should I apply to Grad school or not? Should I just be happy to have a job in the school system? Which by the way, I love my job but the money is TERRIBLE and I only get to work part time - full time is not an option.
I don't know what to do. If I were to go on to Grad school and possible get a teaching job or even better a librarian job - then I would be able to earn more than three times what I earn right now. But, I would be obligated to things that would require much more of my time - such as lesson plans, parent-teacher meeting - after school meetings, just to name a few. Then there is the whole continuing education process that all teachers must maintain throughout thier careers.
Oh, well - I just don't know!!
Your prayers are greatly appreciated and desperately needed.

I hope everyone has a great week. Blessings to each of you!!
