Too much on my plate?

[LoopyLoopsBettyBoops]

It has only just dawned on me that really I have too much on my plate.

I'm due to have DC by ELCS in 4 1/2 weeks.

I have DD (nearly 2) at home and am struggling with her - tantrums, general busyness and needing to be picked up a lot (have ripped stomach muscles)

I have just been elected councillor. I didn't realise how (this is going to sound stupid) political it is - how much nasty backstabbing goes on, how emotionally draining it is and how much I need to learn fast.

I have (stupidly) agreed to organise a fundraiser over the summer, can't really back out of it and really regret it.

My house is a big mess. I know it doesn't matter blah blah blah, but when the baby arrives it will all be so much harder to get on top of.

I'm nervously waiting to find out if my application for funding for a PhD has been successful, really want it, but at the same time totally overwhelmed at the prospect of adding to the workload.

I'm tired, I feel poorly and I just want to sleep for a few weeks.

Sorry for the whinge, just feeling sorry for myself at the moment. :(

wow, sounds like you are trying to be wonder woman. I would make a list and try to prioratise. Can you get lots of help with fundraiser and would they understand if you said you did not want to be coucil leader, being pg you have a great excuse without offending anyone or dealing with playground politics? Good luck and try to remember you need some rest x

Oh goodness I'm not council leader!

I think the fundraiser needs to be the first compromise. People to help...

Thank you. :)

Am going through a 'I can't spell' phase so went for easiest spelling of council person. Hope you feel better soon. x

Thank you :)
