how do you keep calm on a bad day?

Hi everyone.
I'm not feeling great today, recovering from food poisoning when I should have been visiting a friend I've not seen since December, DH has gone out for the day, he doesn't get to go out and enjoy some time to himself much and I told him to go. Well the DC's have run riot, the house is trashed, they are constantly fighting, DS 2.5 refuses to use potty/toilet but keeps removing nappies and peeing and pooing all over the place. DD had some paint which I asked her to put away but she didn't and DS covered himself in it and sat on our cream setee looking like one of the Simpsons now it looks like DS is getting ill too and I have so much housework to catch up on already feeling quite overwhelmed, please tell me I'm not alone

That sounds like a lot to cope with. You are certainly not the only one. I hope today has been a little better.

Take some rest first, then if you feel better do some of the housework. Don't force and stressed yourself thinking.
