I'm currently a corrections officer and I work 3rd shift. My body is telling me that I need to move toward something else (my mom who helps me out had to throw a foam football at me to wake me up because her other efforts to wake me didn't work). 1st shift is unavailable right now and even if it was I would work overtime alot (It's mandatory). Having this job has caused me to see some noticeable changes in me and has also caused me to flunk out of this school I was going to. I want to become a full-time student and have a part-time job. Did I mention that I'm also a single mom of two boys (4 and 1)? This would give me then opportunity to go back to school and spend more time with them.

I forgot to mention that I have to force myself up after getting some rest to give attention to my boys. They suffer because their mom lacks the energy to give them 100% and I'm also very irrtable most of the time. When I do get 8 hrs of sleep or more I still feel tired. I have never felt this drained before since being a civilian (Was in the military 3 yrs ago). I'm too young to be dragging around.
