A Stressful Sunday

After mid-terms were over I got hit with another round of school work so I decided that I would focus on my English and Speech assignments, since they were the ones that required the most attention and were worth about half my grade in those classes. I gave my first speech and now I had to prepare for the next one and I also had a paper that was due in English so I focused on my speech and my english paper. After I finally got those things taken care of, I realized that I hadn't done any math for about two weeks, so I was behind. My math assignments don't necessarily have a specific due date. All the assignments in that class are due by the end of the semester, but I try to keep myself on a schedule in order to have them all completed by the deadline. All last week I had planned on getting myself caught up on the math assignments that I had scheduled in my agenda that I keep for college. I keep an agenda so I don't forget my assignments and get behind. Anyway, I didn't get to work on any of the math assignments that I had planned on doing all week last week. Macy, my nine month old daughter, has got her first two top and bottom set of teeth in and now she is cutting two more top teeth. It seems like the top teeth always give her more problems than the bottom one do, because she always cries a lot more when the top ones are bothering her. I wasn't for sure that she was cutting her second set so soon, since she had just finished getting her first two top teeth in, but I saw the second set popping through about the middle of last week when I was brushing her teeth. I always give her a bath and then we brush her teeth and get her ready for bed. On Sunday, I had a plan to finally get caught up on all the work I had to do. I got Macy up, changed her diaper and fed her breakfast and then got her dressed. After I did all that, I set her on the floor to play with her toys while I turned on my laptop to start my homework. I got one assignment done and half of another one done before I had to take my husband to his friend's house to play beach volleyball with his buddies. When the weather is nice they always play beach volleyball for a few hours at his friends house on Sundays. His friend has a real nice sanded court a little ways from his house in his HUGE yard. All of my husband's friend's have wives and kids so they all are usually out there to running around and having fun. I helped my husband fill our cooler and a bag for Macy, because I figured Macy would like to run around out there for a bit, since she loves to be outside. Boy was I wrong about that assumption, because when we got out there she started being kind of a brat. My husband was into his second match when she really started throwing a fit, so I decided that it was time to take her home for a nap. I told my husband good-bye and that he could get a ride home with one of the guys so that way he could stay and have some fun. I took Macy home and I fed her a bottle and tried to get her to sleep. She screamed and cried for two hours! I could not get her to calm down at all! I gave her Tylenol and rubbed some medicine on her gums and she still wouldn't stop screaming. After those two hours, my mom called and by then I was in tears because I couldn't get Macy to calm down and I was so stressed out because I had a lot of work to do. Mom told me she was going to come get Macy so that I could have a much needed break from her screaming and get my work done. I'm so glad she came to get the little booger! Macy loves to spend the night with my mom, so as soon as "grandma" walked in the door she stopped crying and reached for grandma with a smile on her face. I was so relieved to see her smile! I got to sleep in this morning and I got caught up on all my work today too. I felt bad about letting her go with my mom, specially since I miss her when she is gone, but I defanitly did need that break. I called to check on her this afternoon and my mother said she hasn't been crabby over there at all! What a little stinker! Well, all I have to say is thank God for mothers! My stress level has gone WAY down since my mom took the baby for me last night!
