I cried today. Hard.
I am just having the most rotten day. Report card day usually means the worst behavior, stress, and worries from all around. I feel like I constantly getting blamed and scrutinized for students who don't do well. I feel like I'm just never going to be good enough for some people. Not smart enough, not pretty enough, and sure as hell not a good enough teacher.
Fluck.
I never made an appt to get my haircut and I have my reunion to go to this weekend and I just feel soooo unprepared. I am supposed to wear a white outfit and white shoes. Don't ask; it's a complicated thing to explain. That's just what I have to wear. I am sort of okay on the white outfit but I don't own a pair of white shoes other then the formal ones I wore to my wedding. So somehow I need to go out and find a pair that I can wear. I need to paint my nails.
Double fluck.
And, then, I came home to find that the shade we ordered for our LR doesn't fit. It seems we didn't measure correctly. I blame myself but DH thinks this is more his fault. The wall around the window is just all sorts of wonky and it seems we are a ? of an inch off. WTF. No what?
Fluck, fluck, fluck.
I hate days like this. I even cried out one of my contacts and stepped on it while I was trying to locate it on the floor.
Re: I cried today. Hard.

Finally! A Married Bio!!
I know those days. And really, there's nothing to make them better except going to bed and starting a new one in the morning.
Hopefully, today was even a little bit better for you.
HUGS!! You are smart, a great teacher and a lovely woman all around, remind yourself of that! You MUST get a haircut-make an appt asap! It will change your whole attitude!!
As for shoes--just order some white strappy sandals from zappos! You'll have them tomorrow, and if they are not comfortable, take them off at the party! No one will care! -OR, heck wear shoes you have and let them take a flying leap!
Steer yourself back around to the things that make you happy!
Thanks everyone. ::sigh:: I was seriously having some manic moments there yesterday. That stuff kind of scares me, but H and I were able to talk it out and I did end up getting some rest.I had a muuuch better day today. I actually went out in search of the white pants and shoes. As luck would have it, I found both within minutes of some shopping in FoHi. The pants were something that someone had returned from an online purchase so they were even the short length that I need but the store normally doesn't carry. I also went out to dinner with a friend/coworker which was nice.
The best thing that I did, though, was make the executive decision to call in sick tomorrow. It was amazing how once I made the decision, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I didn't realize it, but I have been hauling ass at work. Doing coverages for coworkers, grading lots of stuff and it has been getting to me (kind of like with Tracy last week). I just needed a day to catch up, get my damn hair cut like dnagel suggested. Plus, this way we leave earlier and make it up to my college without hitting too much traffic. Just the thought of that was stressing me out.
Hey
I am glad you are feeling better. I think we all have one of those days where everything just makes us cry...They suck, but it helps to let it all out. Taking a day off is a GREAT idea. You deserve it!?
