24. Yes on the tired.

I am so glad you are doing well. I do know, as I get more tired, I get slower and slower and my reaction is not what it should be. I had one day back at school, I was walking one kid to gym and he stepped away and pulled the fire alarm and I just couldn't react quick enough. The whole school got evacuated and I had to fess up why it happened.
