Hormones make me annoyed...
Scary to be admitting all this stuff here but I can really feel myself being irritable this week. PMS has arrived. Don't really know of too many times that it hits me to be honest, so I even get annoyed with myself when it does actually affect me. Probably doesn't help that I am completely overtired from waking up around 5 every morning because of the bright light outside my window, or the fact that it's light so late that I tend to only drift off to sleep around midnight.
Needless to say, things are annoying me. Like a few minutes ago, when I arrived in my class to a pile of cupcakes on the ledge where students keep their binders. Normally cupcakes would be a happy sight, however, in this case, it drove me. I did some sleuthing and found out it was one of the K-1-2 teachers, she had misunderstood the instructions about making the cupcakes and keeping them in your class until Friday, when we'd all bring them down to the gym for the big Retirement party for our Principal. Somehow, she understood-"Decorate them and then leave them in Gillian's class to take care of"... HUH!? I am not even on the organizing committee, I have had nothing to do with the passing out of the mixes, of the plan or anything... Never have I discussed cupcakes with another soul at school, and yet somehow I get a piles of rather beautifully, child-decorated cakes.
It kind of brought up the hurt about the committee's comments about me not being ready for the VP position. It made me wonder how I seemed to be seen as a leader/resource person for anything that happens in the school, and yet the committee of people (who do not work with me) see me as someone who just doesn't have the skills... The irony kills me! haha... Am I a leader or am I not a leader?
I have three meetings already after school that require my attendance and a pile of marking/ photocopying that is through the roof. One more SNAFU to have to fix just drove me over the top, and despite all of that I knew I had to fix the problem. Get the cupcakes into the right place, and clarify the communication error that took place.
Did I mention the sun is more or less out (less since it is not overly sunny, but more since it is in fact light out all the same) from 3 am until 10/11... Ugh...
