I am so very overwhelmed right now (and behind on everything) that all I want to do is get in my car and run away. I studied literally 12 hours yesterday and felt overcome by guilt that I am not working on a paper for school. Now working on schoolwork (due at midnight) and overcome by guilt that I am not studying (exam is Wednesday). I just don’t want to do either anymore. If I had ANY idea that my class would have a major project due this week I never EVER would have scheduled the exam this week. I know I am at the end of the tunnel here but this f/t job, kids, grad class, and exam has got my “fight or flight” mode going.

Just need to vent. Going to set my timer for 45 minutes of studying. Take a 15 minute break, reset timer for 45 minutes of my paper for school…….and so on.

Would rather be doing laundry or scrubbing floors or something completely mindless right now……..

Mla, it sounds like things are really tough for you right now. What you're doing is AMAZING! I don't know how many people in your position could handle all that and keep their sanity! Don't feel guilty about spending time on one thing rather than another, you needed to prioritize and seem to have a good game plan.

In just a few days this craziness will be over, and you can go back to mindless activities 🙂

You can do it!! Good luck!

Yes, mindless activities. mla1169, I've got a paintbrush just for you, so when you're done with your paper and exam, come on over and help me paint the baby's room 😉

Jared you have NO idea how happy that would make me! New babies and all things getting ready for them are so excititng!! (besides I am so envious that baby gear keeps getting cooler and cooler! Makes the stuff I had for my kids look so sad and shabby LOL!)

I especially love those little foam seats for new babies, forget what they're called but too cool! “In my day….” you just rolled up a blanket and hoped for the best! LOL!

I will without a doubt be the coolest grandmother ever, in 20 or so years when I am ready for it (my kids are 18 and 12)

Thanks everybody. I am waving the white flag on my paper for school and turning it in as is. Hopefully my fears are worse than reality when he grades it (but this guy is TOUGH, not that I don't enjoy a challenge!).

Fail this one paper, 7% of my grade-acceptable

fail AUD for a 3rd time-NOT acceptable

You're accomplishing tons, just keep your eye on the prize! You can do it!

In other news, you just put my life into perspective. 🙂 I just spent 30 mins yelling at my boyfriend via text message telling him to come home and clean his bathroom because it looks like it's in a crackhouse it's so dirty. I guess I could've just asked him one time time and then studied more, huh?
