Starting a new job tomorrow..

[Tiredandstressedmummy7]

And I just want to cry.. DD has been utter hard work today, refusing to eat unless I feed her, screaming and crying and everything.. My kitchen is a tip, need to wash my hair after putting her down, put a wash on, make my lunch for tomorrow, sit down and eat some dinner, get my work clothes ready and try and get some sleep and hope she doesn't wake up seven times like she did last night. I finished my previous job on Friday and new employer wanted me to start ASAP so have had absolutely no break in between.. I'm a single parent with nobody to help.
Just want to cry. This is my dream job I'm starting tomorrow and just feel sad and anxious 😢

Congratulations on your new job @Tiredandstressedmummy7
I'm sorry you've had a difficult day How old is your daughter?

Thank you. She's 3..just been really hard today :( i think it hasn't help going straight from one job into another, I feel quite frazzled. Know I just have to suck it up.

That sounds really tough! Try not to worry, just focus on each task today one by one... as it’s be your first day hopefully it’ll be a gentler pace, mostly introductions, and you’ll probably be quite excited so I bet that will help with energy levels

I bet you do feel frazzled. They do pick up on any of your anxieties too, don't they? Do you have anyone you could ask to come and keep her company for an hour while you sort things ready for tomorrow?
The very best of luck for tomorrow (and a decent night's sleep of course!)

Once you get there you’ll be so absorbed in trying to learn you will forget about this, I bet.

This sounds tough but you sound like an absolute legend.

I hope you can book some leave soon.

Thank you. 😘 I know once I'm there tomorrow it will be fine.. Just the mountain I have to climb tonight that's all😔.. I'm going from a working from home to back into an office full time 5 days a week.. I'm hoping it'll be ok as its a local job and not in London like I was before.

Huge congratulations on bagging your dream job!! I am sure you will smash it!

3 year olds are hideous, sometimes. Would she calm down a bit if you let her watch a bit of Peppa or CBeebies? At least that would give you time to sort out the kitchen and your clothes for tomorrow. If she won't, though, then sod the kitchen! Eat some crap for tea, and get her to bed as early as you can.

Best of luck for tomorrow. I hope the job is everything you want it to be.

Congratulations on your new job, Op and good luck for tomorrow 💐

Congrats! A stressful day prior to a big day is never what you need! Focus on getting yourself ready physically and mentally as best you can tonight - sod of the stuff that can wait for another day, as difficult as that is.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Thanks everyone.. I had to put peppa on whilst she ate and tidied the kitchen whilst she did.. I hate to do it.. But if I sit down with her she climbs all over me then wants me to feed her.. If i don't sit down she's perfectly capable of eating herself.. Just going to give her a bath and put her down a bit earlier so I'm not up till late. Just wish it was a bit easier :(

That's what Peppa is for!

Just wish I could press a button and it's all done for me 😭

That does sound stressful. Just remember you can get your job done, adrenaline will get you through. Get into your PJs when you get her ready. Then you can go to bed early and rest

How did it go, Op?
