I know I know I know this is self-indulgent and I honestly do have bigger, more serious problems in my life like many other people. But, today is my birthday and it’s just been a bit shitty and I feel down.
Spent the morning at home with DH and children - fucking bedlam as we left for a trip away this afternoon and no one was ready so I was packing/sorting/running around etc. Children wouldn’t stop fighting and DH has been distracted and stressed with an ongoing work issue.
Had a few cards from close family. Haven’t even had a message from loads of good friends (old friends/school friends/bridesmaids at my wedding type friends). Not a peep from DH’s family but they never bother with me anyway (also makes me sad).
Toddler vomited on me during the flight.
Endured early tea at hotel with children, screamed and fought (overtired, hungry etc). Just wanted it to be over.
Back to room, meant to have a larger room but hotel mixed it up and we’re all squashed in together - bed at 7pm with the youngest and have been laying in the dark whilst everyone else is snoring away.
There has been no great disaster, it’s just been a bit shitty and I wanted a small moan. DH was delighted with the early night. Oh well.
