Tough Day

Today has been a really tough day.  It started when neither my alarm clock nor my husbands went off this morning and this is of course the morning my daughter slept until 10 til 7.  Once you are late it throws everything off.  I had a tough day trying to motivate my ninth graders to complete their work today.  To top it all of I got verbally accosted via text during my afterschool staff metting.  My younger sister sent me several text messages and the general gist of them all is that I am making it incredibly difficult for the family to see my daughter and I must not care if she is part of the family or not.  Eventhough I do not see them anyless than I did before my daughter was here.  This really makes me mad and frustrates me to no end.  I feel like I am doing the best that I can over here to try to accommodate everyone and actually get to spend some quality time with my daughter.  Its like no one understands how hard it is to be a working mom to a six month old.  They all assume that I spend all this time with her and just won't share but in actuality I get to spend very little time with her when she is awake.  I also am a terrible person because I told them it was too hard to make plans on a school night for my sisters birthday we would have to do it on the weekend.  Everyone is allowed to have a tough schedule to work around but me and when I do it makes me some aweful person.  Now I feel like maybe I am just bad at this.  I also don't have anyone to talk to about it my husband is so busy until football season is over, it seems that I have alienated everyone on both sides of the family, and then my two friends live nowhere near me.  I feel like I have no backup and no one is taking the time to appreciate where I am coming from.
