This week, someone had a BAD case of the Mondays. And it was me. I was a disaster. A real Debbie Downer. But good news, people. We are four days into the week and I am finally getting it together. It was a combination of things, really. Kids at school are nuts. I mean off the wall. It's like I'm not even there. I talk all day and no one pays any attention to anything I say. I may as well be invisible. Until someone needs to tattle. Then it is all "Mrs. Miller he looked at me!" "Teacher she's breathing at me!" "Tell him to stop thinking mean things about me!!" "Help!! Someone just kicked me in the heart!!" All. Day. Long. (Also, I wish I was exaggerating but each of these things were in fact said to me this week).
And it wasn't just them. I have had late night after late night and it starts to get the best of me after awhile. Plus it seemed like I just couldn't catch a break. The water filter in my fridge needed to be replaced and so the water barely trickled out. It took 15 minutes to fill up each of my two water bottles each morning. Like I had time for that. So I would just leave it there. And I kept forgetting about it. And flooded the kitchen. Three times. And the volume button on the remote for the TV stopped working. Super annoying. And my hair was so long I couldn't get comfortable when I was trying to sleep. (A weird problem, I know but it was just about the last straw.) And the rain. I am so over all of the doom and gloom. And snow everyday in March?!? I just can't take it anymore.
But as I said, things are starting to look up. With one more day of this crazy week left to go, I'm starting to feel like my old self again. In addition to the kids getting it together (today was actually quite pleasant in room 4), Robbie bought me a new filter for the fridge (I can now fill the bathtub in the time it was taking me to fill up a single bottle) and traded in the remote. Thanks Babe! I got a haircut today. Finally. (Note to Self: 10 months is too long to go without a haircut. You start to look like Pocohontis. And not in a good way.) And the sun has made a small appearance 2 days in a row!! (Although, I did see snow on multiple cars on the way to school this morning). Oh, and I did eat half (maybe more?) of a pan of homemade mac and cheese in one sitting. That definitely helped. Yep. I think I'm finally feeling like I can handle things again. As Ben would say, "one more work day and then two days home with us." I think I can make it.
