take a deep breath and have a cuppa!! I have done nothing all day. Feel fed up! Fell out with eldest last night shouted at H this morning!!
Went to a funeral yesterday it was the anniversary of my Dads funeral! I feel I have to be strong for the world sometimes but no one seems to think I need the support sometimes!
We all get down sometimes. At least we recognise it!!

Titania · 14/06/2005 12:47

Nip to the shop and buy a trashy mag, come back, stick a film on for ds and like M said sit down and have a cuppa.

Titania · 14/06/2005 15:19

i ended up calling the doctor out cos ds1 got a rash all over. he got really hysterical when i tried to go near him and hallucinating. it was so scary. the doctor came and said he has got bad tonsilitis and a virus. sigh.

Is DS dosed up now? Keep an eye on him,but snuggle up together on the sofa and well you could nod off!!!!

ds1 has been up all night. sweating and crying. He finally settles about 4am. He has now got up and acting like theres nothing wrong why do kids seem to get over things so quickly?? Last night and yesterday he was so poorly.....I feel a fraud having kept him at home today! I can barely keep my eyes open. Feel rotten

hi Titania! Sorry you had such a bad night! I think its akways best to have them home till they are 100% but as you say they bounce back so fast! Will mil have him for a couple of hours so you can get some sleep?

Titania · 15/06/2005 09:21

Titters,
Put his favourite video on, give him a drink and a biscuit and let him sit by the tv for an hour whilst you pop your feet up on sofa and have a power nap.

Guardianangel · 15/06/2005 09:35

mandyc66 · 15/06/2005 09:35

am sorry you are fed up you have had a lot to go through recently - of the suggestins mentined already - what are you taking on board to do to cheer yourself up?

sweetmonkey · 15/06/2005 11:50

think positive instead of negative. so its raining use an umbrella. getting out will really make yo feel better and will give you something to do

Titania · 15/06/2005 11:53
