Why does everything happen at once? Early morning moan, anyone?

Is it just me, or does life seem to save up lots of shit and throw it at you at the worst time?

I’ve had ongoing problems with my teeth for a while and have been waiting on a referral to have some removed under sedation due to being horribly phobic of dentists.

Had a nasty infection a few weeks ago, I don’t think the antibiotics totally cleared it up but tonight the pain has gone crazy.

A few days ago I did something to my neck while sleeping that’s left me struggling to turn my head. It was better, until tonight.

Yesterday, while DH was away on a work trip for the first time in two years, DT2 started vomiting and had the worst diarrhoea I’ve ever seen. Then I got a letter saying the community dental service has refused my referral.

Tomorrow morning I have an extremely important meeting trying to sort out specialist schools for the boys (they both have disabilities and the local authority are playing hardball). The stress of this process has caused me massive anxiety.

Couldn’t sleep so did some more work on the documents for tomorrow. Finally dropped off at 1:45am and then DT1 woke up and threw up everywhere.

Oh, and my period is about to start any minute (I have endometriosis and they’re awful).

There is no real point to this except to tell the world to just piss off and leave me alone.

There seems little point going to sleep now since I have to be up in just over 3 hours. Reckon I’ll feel worse if I go to sleep. But then tomorrow will be hell with the puking twins, and no doubt DH and I will be next. Let’s hope I don’t throw up all over the local authority offices.

Anyone else up and pissed off?!

Oh and of course since the twins are sick they can’t go to nursery so DH can’t come to the meeting which is not great when I’m a panicking mess. FFS.

Sometimes I’m quite shocked how shit life can be. I have four kids so busy running around doing shows, parents evenings etc. One child has been to the dentist three times this month. Now out of the blue I have found out of the blue, something extremely worrying about one of his close school friends. It’s so bad I might have to move my son to protect him from normalisation of horrific behaviour that the school has hidden from me. Hence being awake still at 3am.

It’s ok, it all passes. I have done a few SEN appeals. Your doing the right thing

Oh no, that sounds awful. I hope you and your DS are okay.

I agree - it is shocking sometimes. Not that I didn’t have problems before I had kids, I did... but throw twin toddlers plus disabilities into the mix and it can be relentless.

I'm awake, not children related but that all sounds really tough. I'd get you a cup of tea if I could :)

Aww thanks! Gave up a while ago now so going so close the kitchen door and make a coffee, hopefully without waking anyone up!

My tooth / gum are so painful - there are definitely more antibiotics in my immediate future. Just need to get through the next 5-6 hours on painkillers and adrenaline and hope my dentist can see me later. could it not just have waited until lunchtime to get so bad?!

Sounds like it would be a good day to stay in bed, if only you could.

Good luck with your meeting.

Thanks all - things went from bad to worse this morning. Puking kids, one who became severely hypoglycaemic just as I was leaving the house. Missed the bus, had to run up a giant hill. No data on my phone because I accidentally downloaded some big documents on 4G and used it all up so couldn’t even check bus times.
Anyway, meeting was good and bad really but at least it’s done! Now at home feeling queasy myself, shame I have to take care of sick toddlers! Would love a day in bed, if only.
