Totally had a meltdown at work

Luckily, I'm not the type to get embarrassed, but I sure came close yesterday.  I literally had an I-can't-do-this-for-another-seven-weeks meltdown at work.  I was (no exaggeration!) crying hysterically in front of administration, students, other teachers, and even parents on a tour of our school!

The whole day was a bust.  My hips were hurting, my feet were swelling to twice their normal size, my baby was kicking (AKA attacking my internal organs), I couldn't breathe, and I was sweating profusely.  Then, at lunch, we had a very emotional meeting about eating disorders that made just about everyone cry.  All I wanted to do was get, unnoticed, from the bathroom to my classroom, but people kept stopping me along the way asking if I was okay; which, of course, only made me cry more.  

I can chuckle about it now, but after all that, I'm just glad they welcomed me back to work today!

Anyone else make a fool of themselves lately?  Please tell me I'm not the only one!

    I didn't have a meltdown at work, but I did have one about work. When I got home yesterday I spent a solid hour bawling my eyes out on DH's shoulder about how I don't know how I'm going to keep it up for the next 6-8 weeks and would rather just crawl under a rock until our son is born so that I don't have to endure another day of my job.

    I will say that I felt much better today. The hormones have really been kicking in this last trimester - much more so than in either 1st or 2nd.

    I had an "I can't handle our 2 year old" meltdown on Wednesday.  I came home handed her off and just started crying.  She had another tantrum in the lobby at daycare.  Other parents had to step over her flailing body to get their own kids.  The terrible twos are really kicking my hormonal butt.

    I had breakdown at work and it was totally embarrassing. I sitting at my desk and lately every position is uncomfortable and I just could not get freaking comfortable in that chair. I had so much work to do and I couldn't focus past the discomfort. I was freaking out in my head and then my boss came up to me and asked if I had the paperwork done that he needed and I went off on him. It was so embarrassing and he suggested I leave for my maternity leave earlier.

    He suggested that you leave earlier??  That is NOT cool.  Everyone deserves to have one bad day that isn't held against them.  Geesh.  That guy needs sensitivity training!
