Ds1 (8) is not listening and generally his usually clingy self.
Ds2 (2) is being, well, 2!!!
I have a slipped disc so am in pretty much constant pain and cant run around after the dc so cant take them anywhere fun 
Was driving yesterday and got a massive chip in my windscreen so autoglass have got to come out. My washing machine has broken so need a new one. Rental house which we got the keys for on saturday has loads of issues ...stuff not working/missing and keys not there. None of my curtains fit the stupid poles either so need new curtains
Been into town this morning to get their new shoes/school shoes and some shopping and then took them to macdonalds (I know!!) for their lunch and am shattered...am sitting on the sofa on MN wanting to have a little cry.
We are moving house on friday, so much still to do. Have insisted dh take a days holiday on thursday - he was only having half a day on friday (!!) and is off on one of his "jollies" tomorrow with his friend for the day
Written down it doesnt seem much at all 
but I feel on the verge of tears and have done all day Its pathetic.
Fed up of being married to dh. Fed up of being mum to an sn child. Fed up of being mum to a toddler.
Just fed up
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
...and...breathe!!! :(

YANBU :( That qualifies for a stressful life.
My nanny just quit - and that's stressing me out enough :(
DHs - they're not really worth the effort are they 
. Luckily mine's good with the dishes and the housework.....
Don't underestimate how much harder life is when you're in constant pain. Is there any light on the horizon for your back? What's the treatment / prognosis for a slipped disc?
erm..none! Have got strong painkillers but they zone me out so cant take them as I have to look after the dc. They think I have RA which is a bit worrying but my appt with consultant was cancelled and havent had another through yet.
My dh is walking a VERY fine line atm 
Sorry to hear about your nanny You really liked her didnt you?
sigh...anyway, autoglass are coming out this evening to sort my car out and I have booked a hair appt for tomorrow to sort me out
Poor dc...I am NOT fun to be around atm
Just get through one day at a time.
Lots of TV and computer games for the kids. Lots.
If you have a garden - order the kids outside - that's what it's there for
Takeaways for dinner.... Ice Cream to keep them quiet mid afternoon......
Don't worry about the kids for the next week, until you've moved house. They'll be fine with you being a less than perfect Mum.
Your back sounds more worrying - especially RA (Arthritis?) Sending you lots of strength......
Exotic, exciting and expensive daytrips are NOT part of whatsisface's pyramid of needs - love, food and shelter are. Concentrate on the basics. When teacher asks "What did you do in the holidays?" "moved house" is a perfectly acceptable answer
If it helps, 4yo DNephew has come to visit for a few days and we've spent the afternoon watching CBeebies, Cars and now Ghostbusters

Oh, you are all so kind
Feel v pathetic today
Blimey....washing machines cost a lot don't they?? Have gone for a middle range bosch one as am so sick of cheapy ones dying after 12 months....considered a miele one for £1000 but would have needed to give dh cpr after he saw the bill
Yes, the RA thing is not good, but OTOH it would be good to finally figure out the constant pains/aches/exhaustion etc and maybe get some treatment?
I LOVE hot baths!!! Good tip, thanks.
Dh and dc have gone to pick up the carpet we ordered for the boys new bedroom so am on MN and watching a programme about impressionists on catch up tv!!
Am afraid ds1 and dh will be having pizza for tea (ds2 has got mash and steamed veg in the fridge) I will have biscuits
Need to get curtains tomorrow and sort out the dishwasher (?) and meet the locksmith to get a new lock/keys for garage door.
Ds1 will end up with scurvy by the end of the summer hols
Hi Beca, I am not sure that tv programme is helping. I am sorry you are having such a bad time. My dc are driving me mad too, dh is also pushing it quite frankly, car is broken again, and we are out of money........ does it help to know you are not alone? Fancy a 
?

I like that idea zzzzz, but can I be organised enough...... That is the question
Hi Becarooo. I've already done my joke about the Gestapo once today, shame I don't know any better ones. The RA sounds nasty. I hope your move goes well and all the stress calms down. I've been admitting to resorting to sausage rolls and pasties for lunch. If I have to make another sandwich...
I liked your gestapo joke, both versions, and I say that as the wife of a German!!!!
sparkle Can I have gin in mine???
zzzz good idea!
ellen I know what you mean...bloody dairylea...grrrr
Change the channel!
To be honest when DH is around he is in the way when I am trying to do something such as moving. So I tend to box up and chuck out without the "oh can we keep this or that it might come in handy" I just get ruthless and ditch while you got the chance then make a list of heavy stuff to shift and just point DH to the right corner with no room for negotiations before he goes out tomorrow.
Its just sods law you got chaos happening all in the same week! The kids wont suffer with 1 week of quick meals I am sure they will do just fine then have a slap up meal in the new home to celebrate you have moved and that you havent lost your sanity
The less pressure you have on you the better at the moment and if it means lots of TV and computer games for the kids so be it. When they move they will be so excited about their new surroundings and getting involved in their new rooms they wont remember the stressy mum one bit!
