Exercise: I go to Curves 3x per week (well, except for last week. Last week was conferences. I left school, went home, and collapsed every afternoon [20 conferences/day in 2 hours after teaching all day] or night [Thursday the conference time starts at 6:30].) Typically, though, I head out at 4:30, reach "my" curves at about 5, and get home by 6--exercised, relaxed, and refreshed.

Water: 2 glasses (at least!) before you go to school. Get there, pee, another 2 glasses. A glassful BETWEEN each period. An extra one at "lunch hour", and 2 after kids leave. Bathroom as often as possible. If you have a 7 period day, you'll drink 13 8 ounce glasses that way before you get home.
