End of school year stress...

Argh...I'm pulling my hair out here girls!! I was telling some of the other teachers this morning that I don't remember any other year being so stressful at the end...
So far this week I've had 5 meetings, AFTER class time! And with only one more day of school left this week, I still have 3 more!! WTF??? Then I've HAVE to go to a PTA event on Sunday, at least it's at the beach, lol!
Next week is the last week of school and wait for it...MORE meetings, at least 5 more!
I have been looking at the wagon from the path this week- eating is going alright, but working out, fu-ge-da-bout-it!! I haven't even had the energy for a few moves on the ball!
I was at a meeting yesterday until 6pm, and was so riled by it turned to a rum bottle at the end of the day, and said "ah, you look good!". (Don't worry, I didn't overdo it- just enough to take the edge off- some guy wanted to play pool and I had to forewarn him of my mood, lol!) I kicked some butt, at least that put a smile on my face :-)
So, the new challenge starts on Monday...hopefully I will be able to get some swimming done on the days that I don't have meetings that go on until the early part of the evening!
Ok....just venting here before I go to my NEXT meeting!!

Enjoy the weekend & I hope the week does fast for you.
Have fun at the beach - I wish I had a place to swim - the indoor pool at the middle school in my town closed for the summer. I need to look into the town pool
Be well

Thanks Robyn- I am trying to stay positive, at least in the classroom ;-)
And believe me I am counting down the days...5 more (half today, and half next Friday included)! I really am looking forward to the break- they seem to come just in the nick of time!

Just wondering

Good luck and don't beat yourself up...you can do it...hang on for one more week!
Happy end of school year. And Happy swimming :)

Well Robyn I grew up on an island with the same murky waters as yourself- but across the pond, in Ireland. When I completed my Montessori training I moved here and that was 10 years ago...it's been home ever since. So as it happens I've always been an IslandGirl ;-)
ps. The job was advertised in college; the admin went to the same high school as myself- years before me though, and there are 3 other Irish teaching at the school.

Thanks Maribeth- you are so right on two counts there
1. Where is the ME time?
- I believe it is the weekend...though I still have work to do; catching up from all the meetings and writing up some reports! However went out last night for dinner and drinks, and that felt good! Today is going to be 'getting the car' fixed day, and maybe get to the beach.... Tomorrow is going to be 'catch up on things day' including a school event, but at least that one is at the beach!
I will do my best at trying to fit in more ME time next week, thanks for that reminder!
2. There is light at the end of the tunnel...
- I've been seeing it for days now, lol- but know that I will get there soon- ahhhhhh!
I will do my best to get at least an hour of exercise in over the course of the weekend- I need it, my body needs it, my mind needs it!
