I'm going to lose it.

Tweets06 · March 2012

Today has been a day of fails. I tried to finish maternity leave paperwork, but the stupid acronyms from the goverment are inconsistent with my employer (and even within their own documentation!) so it took me forever to figure out. Then the printer died and I can't print it out so that I can sign it, scan it and email it. I tried to help another coworker who doesn't get maternity leave, but I can't donate vacation time to her because she is technically from another department (?!@#@#!???). I tried to update my credit account on my credit monitoring software program and the website hosed on me. When I tried to access my online account for human resources the website wouldn't accept my password then hosed when I tried to change the password... at that point I gave up and tried to call a friend so that I can deal with the baby shower drama that has erupted between two friends and she is not answering the phone (I've already sent two facebook messages).... I'm going back to bed. The afternoon is gone and I have accomplished nothing. I still have to do taxes, finish cleaning out the nursery (and figure out how to decorate the nursery), do laundry, do the grocery shopping and find a pediatrician and all I want to do is sit down and cry.

Sorry - I feel very sorry for me right now. : ) I suppose I should be happy that at least I am well fed, well loved and (usually) pretty happy.

Everyone who is pregnant is allowed to feel the way you do!!! Being preggers is hard and we are more emotional so it feels like the world is oming down on us... I am sorry you are stressed right now... Try to be calm; I know it's difficult... All the paperwork stuff will get sorted out in time and as far as your friends are concerned maybe they need to be reminded that it's your baby shower and not about them... I don't know the details, but just speak from the heart and explain you are close to breaking down if they could please figure it out it would help you to not worry about one less thing... Lastly, I don't know if this is your first or not but the housework, shopping, etc standards will decrease once baby comes anyway so use the pregnancy to get used to things taking that much longer!!! lol My house was pretty clean after my 1st, but pregnant with #3 currently and it's a mess with 2 boys.... Try and Let go

Good luck mama...
