To add to all the vents.

I never complain about work on here. But, today I am at my breaking point.
I love my job and my boss. It is just the two of us. I do 99% of the office work as that is my job while she teaches the classes. Sometimes though there is too much at once. She loves to overwhelm herself with projects. We have a dance competition that she is hosting in 2 weeks. Still needing to get everything ready for that. Then in May we have our spring recital. June we have dance camps. In the interem we are having Junior company tryouts, Company tryouts (for here and the HS she teaches at), regular registrations, dealing with photographers, videographers, payments, regular monthly payments and all the payments for competition, recital, camps, costumes and what nots.
I am trying so hard to keep all of this organized and remember who pays for what and when and who has or hasnt. Pregnancy brain, tiredness and my damn bulging disk is KILLING me. I have to keep a constant happy and friendly demeanor, with everyone and as each day passes it is getting harder and harder. This is not my bosses fault but my own because I got pregnant.
I am just overwhelmed right now and want a shot of Patron and a Corona sooooo bad.

Re: To add to all the vents.
So sorry hun. I don't know if this would add to the stress or not, but would a day off help? Just a day to pamper yourself and get away from it all?
Sometimes when I'm stressed at work, I go in early before my boss gets there--it's just the two of us also--just so I can think and get things done/organized. I don't answer the phone. I lock the door. It's just me. It's very helpful for me to have that time when I can just feel on top of things.
Unfortunately no. I am the office manager/receptionist/secretary/bookkeeper.
There is noone to cover for me if I am out. I am the only one that can deal with all of the parents (customers). Also the reason why I can only take 2 weeks off for maternity leave.
So many payments are due these next two weeks plus I have to make 20 costumes that it is impossible for me to take any time off.
It really is just a vent due to me feeling so overwhelmed. I appreciate the suggestions though.
I'll drink with you. I prefer my Patron chilled
Oh me too! With a little bit of salt and lime too.
Oooohhhhh yeeeaaaa
::sighs and runs off to sip on an O'Douls::
That looks sooo good right now....
I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed. It's completely understandable. We should all have a night at some point after these babies are all settled to sit down and have a shot and a beer together. I bet it would get interesting. :P
I would totally be down for that.
ahhh i caught myself drooling right now....
its almost june!
I totally feel your pain. I'm leaving in a month, but in the next 4 weeks, I have to fit in report cards, a showcase night, cleaning up my room for the maternity leave sub (or she won't be able to find ANYTHING when I'm gone), write up sub plans for her first 2 weeks, and create class lists. Not to mention, the field trip is the day after I'm gone, so I have to collect money/keep track of permission slips/organize chaperones. This is all on top of the normal every day teaching responsiblities. Then the last week before I leave I have to administer a standardized test. Right now I'm trying to prepare my kids for it. It sucks! I could SOOOO use a drink.... or 10.
I'm sorry you are so stressed at your job. We all need to keep telling ourselves, there's a mean to an end!!! If nothing else, there's also chocolate... lots and lots of chocolate.
