Have you ever had one of those weeks where at one point you asked yourself, "How am I going to get through this?" Well, last week was one of those for me. Monday and Tuesday was the start of me planning my Holiday Party in my classroom...calling parents, collecting supplies, trying to keep the kids calm, etc. Then Wednesday, I hit Meijer right after teaching all morning because I had so many little odds and ends to get for the rest of the week ahead of me. I was so hungry and NOT in the mood to be there. When I got home, I quickly unloaded the groceries, put the girls down, and then had a friend over to play for a bit with her twins. Then when Josh got home from work, we went over to Tyson's (my other friend) to play. On Thurday, I celebrated Christmas with my high school friends. That was a blast! We laughed so much. On Friday, I hosted our staff Holiday Party at Flanagan's after school. I am the social committee chair, so I was in charge of planning and paying for that. Then on Saturday morning, Josh had to supervise a basketball game while I prepared for Halle's 1st birthday party at 4pm. Thank the Lord for my mom! The house quickly filled with people by 4pm! Then my mom took the girls for the night while Josh and I went to supervise the Huntington North Christmas Dance from 8-12am!!! I was SO TIRED! When we got home, I walked straight up the stairs and HIT the bed. I slept straight through until 9:30am!!! Then we went to pick up the girls at my mom's house and stayed through until dinner. I have been SO TIRED the past 2 days. I feel so bad for my students. :) I try to be so patient with my family, so my students tend to get the snappier Mrs. St. John. :) I did some Christmas shopping today after work, so I am trying to keep it together for the rest of the week. I took a nap today, so hopefully I will be feeling better soon. I think it's just the season! Have you ever had a week like this?
Thanks for listening to me vent.
I guess "Tis the Season". I've felt overwhelmed the past few days knowing what I need to do the next week. I just try to slow down and enjoy the season. I hope you can catch up on your sleep:)
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think it is the time of year because it has been one of those weeks for about two weeks here. I am stressed about the holidays and Corbin asks me everyday when is Christmas and when he can open his presents. :) It becomes frustrating. Hopefully everything will calm down for you when school is out and you can decompress. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! You've got alot going on right now and you deserve to vent....let it all out! :)
ReplyDeleteKeep telling yourself that you have a beautiful, healthy family and that everything you are doing is for them.
You are a great mom and wife (and friend)!
Vent away honey ... it's either that or cry ... which can be good too. You've been a good girl this year, I'm sure Santa will bring you something nice for all that you do!
