Can't handle it (vent)

Gerts

Can I just tell you that I'm about to have a breakdown. On top of being a full-time mom, laundry lady, maid, cook, chauffer, dog walker, and human milk cow, I'm doing 15+ hours of freelance work this week, tutoring 8 students (who pay me $15-20 an assignment, which take two hours each). Oh, and I also have to look for work as a condition of unemployment. Oh, and my new nanny who was supposed to be "totally flexible" just announced all the days this month she?can't?work...including cancelling on me for later this week. And the last time we left DD alone with our other sitter, she had a meltdown and we had to come home after an hour. And my car registration is expiring this week. And my mother and brother are coming on Friday. So I'm waking up every day at 4:30am (after being up half the night with worrying and feeding and changing) to get things done. Oh, and I'm maid of honor at a wedding this weekend. I have to get a dress, write a speech, and manage some of the coordination.?
Seriously, I am this close to losing it. I ran out of coffee this morning and wanted to cry. I need a break really,?really?bad. But I am NOT going to get one anytime soon.??Help. ?

Good lord. *hug* It'll be ok.

 

Take a deep breath.

woah, good luck.  Make a list, put the times you are going to do each task and do the best you can.  That is all I can suggest.  It will be over soon!

Smoke some weed. That always calms me down.

Time to put your DH to work.....and when your mother and brother get into town recruit them to help out as well, you can't and shouldn't do everything yourself.

I feel for you.  Is there anyone (friend/relative) that can help out?

Relax, prioritize what is important make a list of the things you want to change and how you want to change them and do it one at a time. ?Life is tough and we have tools to get through it, sometimes we just need to take the time to recognize the tools to make the change. ?Think of the happier times and they will happen again.?
