i need a pick-me-up

This post is really boring so ignore if you don't feel like reading a bunch of nothing...

The past few weeks have been rough. I have been "late" (we are supposed to be at work by 7:15, school starts at 7:30ish and I've been arriving at 7:20) to work every day for the last week and 1/2 and one of my bosses called me out on it the other day when I was slightly late for duty. I don't expect special privileges because I'm pregnant. I don't think I'm that kind of person and I sure hope I don't seem that way but I'm frickin' exhausted! I cannot get up before 6:00 am without huge will power and effort but I made dang sure I was on time Thursday, since she mentioned it.

Then last night, Drew woke up twice and cried for over an hour both times. Neither of us could figure out why and we even thought about just taking him to the ER but he finally quieted down. Needless to say, I got pretty much no sleep and I knew he needed to see his doctor so this morning I called work to say I would need a substitute. Well, of course, I could not find my code/password to request a sub electronically from home (so much easier and efficient than having to call the school). So I HAD to call the school. No one answered in the front office the first time so I left a message for our receptionist and fell back asleep. At 7:20, I woke up, exhausted, and realized she hadn't called me back so I called again, in a panic. No answer. So then I had to call one of our assistant principals who went to talk to her for me personally but class was supposed to start within minutes so I knew my kids wouldn't have a sub in time. He told me they would take care of it (he really is an awesome boss).
Then I got an email from the assistant principal in charge of attendence (the same one who "fussed" at me earlier this week) saying that they were unaware I wasn't at work until the bell rang and that our receptionist hadn't gotten my message in time and that I am supposed to put it in electronically as well! Hello! I tried at 5:30 am but I couldn't find the paper with my stupid code! I am so frustrated by the whole ordeal. It makes me wonder if people really think none of this being late crap and not having a sub in time inconveniences ME! If there is an easier way that allows me to live stress-free, trust me, I'm there! I would have put the info in the computer first, hands down, if I could have! Not to mention, I'm super tired today despite the 2 1/2 hour nap I got, and I have a super busy afternoon (which I am really excited for so I'm NOT complaining). I hate getting reprimanded at work and I feel like between today and me being late in the mornings, I have been (and I probably should be, but it sucks). I like my job and I really like my students so I'm just upset by it all.

Anyway, I needed to vent. And I need this school year to just be over with. And I need Mike's work to make him more than an intern so I can just stay home with my kids.

I know I have a lot to be grateful for, its just that kind of a day. But, my sweet Drewbie did just climb up on the couch with me and give me kisses ;) even though he has a yucky sinus infection and has to be on 2 kinds of medicine for the next 10 days. So I guess I can learn something from him and realize that just because I don't feel good, doesn't mean I can't be kind, loving and understanding.
