Today is Sunday, worst day of days. I don't usually dread work, but on Sundays I feel like I should pout about Monday coming (on principle). This week is going to be a hectic week.
WARNING: Complaining is about to begin.
A few months ago, I decided I was going to be a "good wife" and make dentist appointments for Blaine and me. The appointments rolled around earlier this month, and we both went. Blaine came back with a pretty smile and no problems, but I had a cavity. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! My very first cavity has finally surfaced. They told me I had to quit drinking carbonated drinks, because they are acidic. I don't think they understand how much that is asking, but that is another story. So, I have to go get a tooth-colored filling, and they scheduled it for this Tuesday at 3:30. Task #1 for this week.
I have been having some other health problems that I won't go into, but that doctor wants me to come in this week, and it HAS to be Tuesday at 2:00. Task #2.
One of the incredibly boring, repetitive, waste of time, have-to-have-this-for-professional-development new teacher meetings with the county is this Tuesday at 3:30. Task #3. Conflicts galore.
In-school basketball game tomorrow during 4th block, putting that class behind. Task #4. Faculty meeting about dreaded visit from the state department, Monday after school. Task #5. Dreaded visit from the state department, Tuesday. [Insert hoops to jump through.] Task #6.
Research, write lesson plans, make copies, grade papers, make all of this meaningful for the kids... tasks #7, 8, 9, 10, etc. Update resume and job hunt for next year... tasks #11 and 12.
Maintain sanity, buy groceries, do laundry, maintain sanity, spend time with husband, eat, exercise, maintain sanity. How do people balance their work and home lives?
