Ugh.  What a day.  I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, and subsequently, depressed.  I have WAY too much to do, and nowhere near enough time to do it!  I wasn't going to post today, but I thought maybe if I wrote some stuff out, it might make me feel better?

A.  I got the lowest scantron score on my last lecture exam that I have gotten in the entire two semesters that I've been taking Anatomy and Physiology.  I'm crushed and soooo disappointed in myself.  The only way for me to get an A on this exam is if I got almost full credit on the written portion, and I highly doubt that is the case!  I know it sounds silly and ridiculous to freak out over a B like this, but I have only gotten one B on an exam since August of last year and this is no time to start THAT trend.  Yes, I am ridiculously burnt out on school at this point, but I know that I am capable of doing much better than this.  So, I am desperately awaiting the posting of the scores, so I know how it went.  I check the class site about 15 times a day!  LOL!
B.  There has been recurrent lice problems in my kid's school.  In my daughter's kindergarten class, it's been one particular student (who I do feel terribly for, given the circumstances, but I'm livid with her mother!), and since parent aides have been banned from checking the child (due to aggression and threats from the parent toward the other parents), only teachers and the office staff are now allowed to check her.  Which I am willing to bet doesn't happen much, given how busy they all are.  Well, after getting it from this child once, we went through the outrageous amount of work to get rid of it (at both houses) and we've been clean for weeks, though the poor child is still being forced to wear buns to school every day.  Come to find out that they are allowing the costumes for the kinder play to be worn interchangeably between my child and the two other children (which includes the poor thing that has been infested for weeks) that are this character in the play. So yea.  Thrillsville.  I am so high-strung and stressed out right now that I have no idea what I'll do if she gets it AGAIN.  I might just go off the deep end.
C.  I somehow managed to volunteer to make my daughters softball banner.  From scratch.  And I now have a week and a half to get it done before opening day. 
D.  I also managed to agree to take over the 1st grade paper quilt job.  I got sent home another stack of construction paper to work on for April. 
E.  Homework, studying, more homework, more studying.  (See A.)
F.  My job.  Too much work, not enough staff.  (I'm sure that's pretty standard for everyone, though!)
G.  I am not getting enough sleep.  Purely my fault, I do realize this.  But it definitely does NOT help the situation.
H.  The darn rain will.not.stop.  I am so ready for spring and sunshine!  I have friends that love winter, love this weather and to them?  I apologize for what I'm about to say...   PLEASE STOP RAINING!!!!  PLEASE BRING ME SPRINGTIME!  Pretty please?  With sugar?  AND cherries?

Sigh...  Not sure if I feel better or not, but at least I tried!!  Hoping that some hot soup and a few more hours might bring me out of this funk...  Thanks for listening!
