Another crazy day for me!

Great I'm looking at another crazy ass day at work.  How lovely!  The new girl called out sick, the associate is in court all day, so she can't meet with clients today.  One of the partners is in court this morning as well, at least I only have to worry about his phone calls for now.  That is until he gets back and will expect me to do some work for him as well, even though I don't work for him at all.  Our paralegal had to go to court, however, she forgot about two morning meetings today and now my boss is mad that he has to actually meet with clients.  OMG the horror an attorney actually having to meet with people he represents and who pay him. *eye roll*  Ok whomever you are upstairs just help me get through today please?!

Totally Stressed OUT!

Damn do I feel freaking stressed the fuck out.  There is just way too much going on at once and it's starting to stress me out badly.  I can't stand being stressed out.  It messes with my whole flow of things.  I begin to feel overwhelmed, bitchy, exhausted, sick, you name it.  My focus isn't as strong as it should be and it's causing me to slack at the office and at home.  I finally have the kids back and they're fine, however, now we've just added my stepdaughter to the mix and she's a major stress factor for me.  It's her behavior and lack of discipline from my husband that makes it hard to deal with.  He feels that she should be treated differently because she doesn't live with us, but that just doesn't help.  It actually makes things worse!  And now I'm coming to find out that we're going to have her for 3 weeks straight instead of 2.  Oh lord what have I gotten myself into?  I know I can help her get herself together and respect others more, but I can't do it alone.  I'm only her stepmother, not her biological parent.  And when I get zero help from her biological parents what the freak am I supposed to do?!  It just kills me because her stepfather can discipline her how he sees fit, yet I can't.  This is going to be a losing battle for me and one that's going to cause major trouble in my marriage.  Oh just grant me the strength to deal with this for a while longer.

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, that will be my mantra for a while.
