I was interested in the responses to my post yesterday that talked about how well I operated under the Stress of the Leech. I have never thought about it before, but goddamn it, if you're under pressure I reckon I would be a fine woman to be holding hands with.
Here are some of the things going on in my world right now:
- I'm on deadline to get the magazine I produce for work out the door by 18 October and the printer has stuffed up the flysheets.
- I'm putting together the most complicated Rainbow Party in the history of the world for Saturday afternoon and it may or may not involve (depending on whether I can pull it off) 'that Whisk Kid cake'.
- It's also my husbie's birthday on Saturday and we're having 16 adults and 57** children to dinner after the Rainbow Party - haven't shopped, don't know what I'm cooking.
- The school hit 'publish' on the website I'm working on for them and it's only half ready and everyone knows it's me who is working on it so I'm receiving about 5 emails a minute with the subject line 'why didn't you' and 'where's my'.
- I am also co-ordinating a cast of thousands to produce the school's annual magazine and nobody has the slightest idea what they're doing.
- My daughter has ripped her hand to shreds doing the monkey bars.
- I need to somehow get to the post office tomorrow to collect the flat packed chicken coop that we bought on eBay and LOML is going to put together before Sunday morning.
- It's hair wash night for the kids.
What's going on in your life right now?
How do you manage under pressure?
* No idea why I called this post this. I don't know what it means either.
** Surely an exaggeration. Probably more like 56.
