It's my birthday, I knew it wouldn't be a great day. We found mice in the house a couple of days ago, I've been up until 1am the last couple of nights deep cleaning and moving things around. Pest control coming today so had to cancel my birthday lunch, it was my choice I'd rather them come but still rubbish it is happening.
DH went shopping last night after work, all but one present will need to go back to the shops. He doesn't know yet, I don't want to tell him because he'll be even more grumpy.
DH is grumpy because he is tired and stressed and now ill, so am I, but waking up to complaining about it all is not helpful without even a happy birthday.
DS5 is grumpy, probably picking up on our mood. Opened every present for me even when I asked him not to, I tried to set boundaries and he kicked off. I didn't want a fight on my birthday but I wanted something to open.
We all feel rubbish but I just feel so sorry for myself which I can't say in real life because no one knows about the mice and I won't tell anyone. I'm exhausted, work is stressful, I just wanted a nice day and I won't get it. Just a vent to strangers, thank you for 'listening'.
