Am I a Cow? I feel like I am!!

Morning All.
DS (5)has got that sickness bug and was off yesterday as sick in the night before. He feels/looks bit better today but still not 100%, bless him.
I work pt, 26 hours per week and had booked him into holiday club this week as not much leave left to take and plan to have a week at Easter with him with plans of Legoland or Butlins or something too!
DH is in navy and away so childcare all down to me.
Its just that today was a big thing at work, I was supposed to be involved in a disciplinary meeting for another employee and was looking forward to learning the HR processes etc. I just feel really FRUSTRATED at it all going tits up. Of course, DS can't help being ill and he is rarely ill but its the thought of being hemmed in all bloody day again!
I know how awful and selfish that sounds and I think it is the circumstances around it, as I said DH being away, family all away and no adults to talk to. My Mum is ringing constantly to check he is ok but seems to fail to understand why I feel fed up and comments of ' oh great you can watch Loose Women and Jeremy Kyle' Well fucking marvellous! My life is thus complete, eh?? I just feel like its easy to be reasonable/sympathetic when your miles away and not the one dealing with it. DH too is really busy at work and his life just goes along as normal too. I felt guilty about using a club in half-term as it is... I just feel really pissed off and like I am being a right cow? Would you agree??

I don't think you are being a cow. YOu are doing what works for you and your family.
