I think DH and I are on the mend, I'll just be relieved when LO is back to himself. Hope you are all staying healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868899 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 20:02:45 +0000 jhd 2868899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: omg what a rough week you have had. I hope you all feel better ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868898 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 19:58:05 +0000 periwinklebee 2868898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: ugh, I hope you feel better soon :sad: </p> <p>I can completely commiserate, illness has been kicking our butts as well. LO was out with a stomach bug, back at daycare for two hours before getting sent home again, this time with flu. So now he's been out over a week, he gave both the stomach bug and the flu to my husband and me, and also had an allergic reaction to tamiflu. I still have a fever and don't even want to think what a train wreck work is after being out for the week. And my house is a wreck! But at this point, I just want us all to be healthy and I'm gonna assume the rest will work its way out one way or another! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868622 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 17:02:31 +0000 Lindsay05 2868622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMgosh. That sounds so rough! I would bring it up and apologize especially now that you can mention you have pneumonia. Geez get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868618 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 16:09:37 +0000 jhd 2868618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: oh no! I hope you feel better soon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868603 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 14:00:20 +0000 Mrsbells 2868603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: wow! take care of yourself! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2868599 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:57:38 +0000 Ajsmommy 2868599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I feel somewhat better bc I finally broke down and went to the dr and they diagnosed me with pneumonia... phew!! no wonder I couldn't get it together!!! </p> <p>Remember to go easy on yourselves ladies!! and take care!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867977 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 19:07:13 +0000 MrsADS 2867977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh mama, hugs to you- I have been up every 1-2 hours all night every night and up by 5am every day for the past few weeks and I pretty much have a huge breakdown and cry my eyes out a few times a day because I'm so exhausted and miserable and I feel guilty. I know it's gonna get better, but... ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867974 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 18:58:53 +0000 lamariniere 2867974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds rough. It sounds like you need to take another sick day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867958 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 16:59:37 +0000 pachamama 2867958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're being really hard on yourself! If you're so sick that you fell asleep at work... You're really sick! You poor thing. Can you take one more day off? I would go explain yourself to your boss in a light-hearted way. Im sure people have done way worse on the job.<br /> When I feel like total garbage and rundown sometimes I think of the Maya Angelou quote "Nothing will work unless you do." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867924 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 15:31:03 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2867924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: Being physically exhausted and not feeling well just makes getting through the day hard. You're not failing, your boss sounds like he understands, there are better days and weeks ahead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867912 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 15:03:09 +0000 Mrsbells 2867912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867909 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 15:01:17 +0000 agold 2867909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867907 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 15:00:39 +0000 Mrsbells 2867907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: Definitely address it. I personally would explain that I am unwell and thought i could work today but need to go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867882 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 14:19:09 +0000 agold 2867882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: Yea... all bosses are so different. So you just have to feel out your relation with him and do what you think is best. Awesome job on your sobriety!!! :heart: Good job, lady! .... My husband laments that he should be in the peak of his golfing days... and here we are with our two beautiful girls that we tried so hard to have... stuck in a work/childcare/sleep/repeat cycle.... no golfing, and none of the many things that I used to enjoy doing on the regular.... just zero time for any of it. this last year was the toughest year ever of our lives. We also moved! So I'm here, a few months after my move, to tell you that you will get through it. Its so tough, though. Good for your for taking a day off to sleep. Your body needs it. You will get better and you will through all of this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867870 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 13:46:45 +0000 Ajsmommy 2867870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: yeah i'll probably just roll with it.. he's usually pretty understanding.... but man I feel like a loser. I should be in the prime of my life w two beautiful kids, about to move into our dream home and I can't even get our house packed, kick this cough or stay awake at work!!! :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867869 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 13:45:34 +0000 Ajsmommy 2867869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChitownRo: sober since 2005 and boss knows that so luckily no worries about him thinking I over did that way :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867868 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 13:42:01 +0000 ChitownRo 2867868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just want to chime in that I would def address it and say still feeling sick. Rough weekend would make me think you are hungover </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867863 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 13:35:22 +0000 agold 2867863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: I' m so sorry this is going on. I'm right there with you. If I could nap at my desk today, I for sure would. In your situation, I would probably go down to your boss' office and see what he needed. Maybe laugh a little and say "rough weekend, sorry" and just move on. I wouldn't dwell. If you have the option of just doing nothing, I'd probably do that. Just wait for him to come back by. I'm not sure how things usually go with your boss, but just do what you think is best. Don't be too upset. This happens to the best of us. We are all just hard working mamas trying to do our best for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-seem-to-get-it-together#post-2867861 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 13:25:27 +0000 Ajsmommy 2867861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!!!

HOLY SH!!!!T... I was dozing off and my boss came into my cube and put his hand on my shoulder to wake me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh</p> <p>mortified does not describe it.. he didn't say anything, I squeaked "oh, sorry" and he walked away..... </p> <p>now what????? please please tell me what I should do? Do I go into his office and mention it? Do I pretend it didn't happen? </p> <p>Has this ever happened to anyone else bc I am feeling like a complete and utter loser/can't get my ish together :bummed: </p>
