Everything will get done and this week you're overwhelmed mainly because you're the student council sponsor. (Next year try hard to say no.) Sending prayers for peace of mind for you, hugs, and wishes for a very Happy Birthday tomorrow.

Last night when I finally got home with the 3 kids at 8:30pm after starting my day at 5:30am, I threw some leftovers on the table for them, told them to take quick showers, and sat on the couch with a stack of papers instead of reading them bedtime stories. <br /><br />I suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-53162662442991919782009-05-04T18:53:00.000-07:002009-05-04T18:53:00.000-07:00OH ERIN!

If I didn't have my hands already full of grandkids and work, I would love to help you out. I am a great baby/child rocker and can even hold 2 at one time. I hope this week goes smooth for you and you get some much needed rest.

I hear you loud and clear. It...Oh you poor thing! I hear you loud and clear. It's funny that you write this because a couple other teacher friends and I were talking about the same thing. How we felt as if we were drowning under everything. Unfortunately so many people don't even realize that it is National Teacher's week even if we do spend more time with others kids than their own parents spend with them. I can't believe that you do all of that stuff by yourself. Do the kids help you in anyway?? I'm so sorry that the teachers at your school do not appreciate all your efforts. Hang in there. Summer will be here soon and I know for you that just means more things to do, but just think about that beautiful little angel that will be making their arrival. It will be worth it!!!

And I haven't even really started teaching yet. Good news is, school year is almost over. Then you can snuggle your sweet Luke and the new little one.

Okay, cocktails for me, mocktails for you.<br /><br />And once I'd been properly liquored up we'd go and position thumbtacks on all of those mean unthankful teachers' chairs.

It is still hard to do the work thing all day and then summon the energy to do the parent thing until they are all in their rooms for the night.InTheFastLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691830067979224059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-42169054632766914892009-05-04T10:20:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:20:00.000-07:00thanks for the comment on the giveaway! i wanted t...thanks for the comment on the giveaway! i wanted to wish you luck. good luck :)jessicahttp://thearmywife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-5797465905671523062009-05-04T08:06:00.000-07:002009-05-04T08:06:00.000-07:00I hope things get better for you.

Just remember why you are doing the things you are doing. That may help you to find motivation. And as the others here have said, ask for help. People are usually willing to help, they just need to be asked. (which is easier said than done!) Hang in there!
