I'm a Working Stressed Out Mom

[sitamommy]

I wish I could crawl into my bed, pull the covers over my head and not come out until I feel like it.

I did not enjoy this Thanksgiving holiday.  Maybe it's because my kids are all sick.  The little one has an ear infection and cried all throughout the meal. 

I did not rest this weekend.  Maybe it's because the kids are super-cranky and in need of constant TLC.  Not to mention that I haven't slept a full night in 7 days.  Oh, and I caught whatever it is the girls got.  My throat is burning and I have phglem that won't go away.

AND... let's not forget the crapload of papers that need correcting, grades that need to be averaged and report cards that need to be completed by Tuesday.

ALSO...the deadline fo rmy Grad School application is tomorrow, and I still have to write my college essay, and complete 3 more works of art for my portfolio...

the list goes on and on.

MEANWHILE, I am sitting here in my son's room listening to him wail because he doesn't want to take a nap, even though he seriously needs it... and I have to try and find something for the girls to do while I try to tackle the enormous tasks ahead of me.

I want to cry, kick, scream and sleep.

I wish this didn't have to be so hard.  No matter how diligent I am about my work, it always piles up.  I feel ill, I feel mentally exhuasted and I feel so scared that my job will be terminated if I don't get my ass in Graduate School.

I know there have to be other moms out there will similar, if not, worse situations than this.  Somebody grab my hand and tell me it's going to be okay!
