I don't know how she does it...

I am so excited to go and see the new movie "I don't know how she does it" I think that this movie was written about my life. These past few weeks have been particularly difficult for me juggling the different aspects of my life. I have been more emotional and petrified that I am not able to meet all of the things that are required of me!

My job is in the busiest season. I have 5 children who I am evaluating and have 5 children who I have to complete annual iep reviews for. I also have 2 children who are transitioning from the part C (0-3) program. I am busy to say the least! My days are full of paperwork and meetings. My 8 hours of work are now 10 with work at home in the evenings. I couldn't even schedule an appointment to go to the doctor.

I am failing miserably at my job as a housewife. My kids have eaten more peanut butter and honey sandwiches this month than they have ever had in their life! I cancelled my housecleaning service because of budget cuts and now my house is a mess!

I need help. I haven't ever been like this in my life! I am usually able to juggle it all flawlessly. It doesn't help that now I am also managing my dads health and financial concerns too. I hope that the movie helps me to put things on perspective on what is truly important. I know what is the most important things in life but need help on just how to say No!
