Panic Attack

So at the beginning of last week, all was under control.  I was on top of the exam grading, marking period grades, etc..  Then I went to post grades and the column for mid-terms wasn't there.  Then I realized I was not as far ahead with the prepping of work for the Pingry Student  Photo Show because the kids were having trouble giving me titles for their work.  Then I had the same issue with the work for Fresh Perspectives.  Then I realized how many meetings I had.  Then I realized I missed a doctor's appointment at the beginning of the month, only to find it wouldn't have happened anyhoo because the doctor was out on medical leave since September and the office never called me and I need a prescription refill and can only get it by going to the doctor and they squeezed me in at 8 pm on Wednesday.  Then I realized I couldn't go to the Historic Trust meeting due to all this work at work and in personal life.   Phew......

So basically, Wednesday it fell apart.  But, luckily the work was done, art delivered, I will enter grades on Monday - due to some late submitted work - and my lesson plans were in.  ( I am anal retentive and like to do them Thursday morning, but Friday had to do this time.)

It's not that work puts this all on me.  I do.  I hate being late with anything.  Bills are paid when they come in the mail.  I leave way early for appointments.  I like everything just so.  Last week's loss of control:  I was not a happy camper.

But...  This will make it all better tonight.
