Working in education- not coping and need a good cry

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

It’s day 4. I’m now crying at how inadequate I am, my dog and my youngest child hate me. I’m answering all school job things immediately but I feel I’m neglecting school for my 3 children. I want to go round to Jemima-Jane and Tallylah-Belle’s house and say READ THE LOGIN DETAILS rather than just automatically saying “what’s jade/Porsche’s login details for flimsy glimpses edu squinkle because it takes me 15 minutes to find that and send you the details knowing that tomorrow you’ll ask for candy- chevron’s login details for bastard spelling a thing. And Dd3’s work is the absolute bare minimum and every other person is joe wicks-ing it and has David Walliams in their house reading while Steve backshall lets them snog a catfish. And I’m trying to hold myself together and feed them when Dd2 who had ARFID has eaten nothing for days and Dd3 has asked me at least 2572 tones today if dominos are still delivering.

Tomorrow is a new day and yes dominos are still delivering and my period (which for a 49 year old sterilised person is kind of pointless) may have shown up in the midst of ALL OF THIS

This sounds horrendously stressful. The IT issues of working from home are a nightmare.

Why does working at home automatically turn competent people into idiots who can no longer find some simple details on a spreadsheet. Or is it highlighting that I was already doing too much. I no longer know.

Email from colleague- just popping out for a run .

You do that Jemima, I'll just carry on with my 15 documents open multitasking several things that everyone wants at once because no one can see I am actually busy.

Can you lower the expectations for a bit, I think normal standards do not need to apply right now

Yes we’ve been given school work in 2 lists entitled compulsory and optional. How do you get the compulsory done whilst looking after multiple children and working yourself? It cannot be done, certainly not in this house.

We had our log in details posted.

Joe Wicks can shove it up his bum anyway, Im too busy wondering what bastard day it is, to remember to look at his lycra.

DD has been on full on doss mode.
