My eyes cast low

That's it.

I'm throwing in the towel.

It's been a fairly craptastic week, and I'm just done. (Sorry for the salty language, Mom.)

Report cards came out this week, and it's clear that Bella inherited her daddy's spelling skills and not mine. (Which is to say she has very little spelling skills. :\) Then I felt all guilty about it because isn't it my job to make sure she studies and gets good spelling grades? And because I'm so tired in the evenings because I've been at preschool and I'm too lazy to do anything more that I absolutely have to, and that means I'm a bad mom for putting my wants ahead of her needs!

And it's not like I'm even doing all that great at school, because I feel like my kids there aren't learning anything either, especially the one little boy with some special needs who needs *lots* of extra help, and I've never been put in this situation before, and am I even qualified to be his teacher, considering I've got 55 hours of college to my name and that's it?

Not too mention that I'm also battling my (WARNING!!! TMI AHEAD!!!!!!) third yeast infection in four months, and I can't even get into my doctor to see if there's something going on, because he's booked on the days that I'm free, and I'm booked on the days that he's free.

Then to top it all off, I got a stupid speeding ticket today on the way to Tifton. And even though I'm going to fight it in court, it was just the icing on the cake of crappiness, you know?

And not even the thought of Disney World in ONE WEEK can bring me out of this terrible funk.

Woe.

Woe is me.

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time of it. Hopefully Disney World will be a much needed and deserved break for you. Did you get to watch conference today? For some reason watching conference always makes me feel like such an awful person because there is sooooooo much that I am not doing because I am way too selfish. So right now, I can totally simpathize with your feelings of guilt and inadequacy. I think we all feel that way sometimes. I wish I could do something to make you feel better. Does it help that I barely even know you, but I think that you are AWESOME?

Wait, wait, it's a new contest, right?! You wanted to see if anyone saw where you misspelled inherited since you were talking about Bella's spelling?

As far as the Y.I., I'm sure you've tried all the over-the-counter remedies haven't you? Maybe there is a particular food you need to lay off that you've been eating more frequently? I remember I used to have them all the time too and I could tell you some funny stories, but won't on this public forum!!! :)!!!

Good luck and here's hoping this week will be a better week. Love you!

Oh snap! I knew I had spelled inherited wrong, and I thought I fixed it. Oh well. :P

Carol said...

Just thought I'd get you on that since you are so good about YOUR spelling.

Caroline said...

OOH, POOR BABY! I'm so sorry! It makes me feel better to know that you struggle too! I've been so sick and tired with this pregnancy and I have constant guilt about homework, reading etc... What's a mom to do? I'm sure that you are doing much better than you give yourself credit for! You rock! Go get some Moe's and enjoy it for me too:)

I have had a horrible, crappy week too. This week was just not a good week. And it hasn't even ended yet.

Disney World will make it all better!! I hope everything gets better soon!

J-Mom said...

MMMMM....Stacey had good advice. Do get Moe's, but enjoy it for me too!

Also I know now is crazy mentioning this now, but maybe during the summer time or later, but I love Spelling Power. It won't go right along with the school, but it's 15 min a day and it might be good for summer or another time, just felt like I should mention it.
