I've decided that i could stay up for the next 48 hours and not get all of the work done that was just piled into my lap. I love that our district is going after a grant for preschool, but when did that become my "other" job? I have meetings to attend, letters to write, movies to watch, questions to answer, panels to sit on, phone calls to make, and generally too much for one person to do.
On top of that is my usual jobs of writing IEP's, meeting with families, writing out my lesson plans, and wanting to work with my class.
That would be great if all I had was my job, but I also have a family who needs me. Soccer practice, dance practice, swimming lessons, school work, and just wanting to be with my kids. But that includes, dinner, grocery shopping, helping with the bills, household chores, etc.
I also have 13, 3 and 4 year old girls coming to my house on Sunday for a tea party. It is going to be so much fun, but seems like a lot of work to get ready for.
Now, it might seem like i'm complaining, and maybe I am. I love my job, I love my family but adding one more thing and I might end up being up for 3 days, not 2.
