Anyone else just feel fucking sorry for themselves today?

I have woken up with a cold. Just a cold. Except I feel bloody awful, couldn't sleep all night and now have to go to work with a razor blade throat, running nose and listen to clients moan about us daring to be closed over Christmas.

Who else is having a shitty Monday already?

Now been hit with a stomach bug so don't even have the energy to deal with the whirlwind of shit this week has thrown at me!!!!!!

Just want to crawl into bed and not wake up until the new year.

I'm not dealing with anywhere near as much shit as many of you but I'm feeling so sorry for myself at the moment, it's all kid-related; adult kids who live at home and I'm really struggling with them at the moment for many reasons.

The latest thing was that my iPod earbuds have disappeared. They were connected to my iPod yesterday morning and by last night they'd vanished. They have form for taking earbuds, chargers, cables etc and always deny it and always get caught out, they cause bad feeling and yet they continue to do it.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. It was my birthday on Monday and the card from dad and not mum and dad, like it was for 36 years, is a bit of a dagger to the heart. It's been almost 18 months since she died but it still hurts sometimes. My almost 3 year old had a routine echo yesterday but wouldnt calm down enough so has to be admitted for a sedated one. She had heart surgery this year and is still traumatised by some hospital procedures. My almost 1 year old had a settling in session at nursery earlier. He was ok whilst there but screamed all the way home, which is so unlike him.

feeling sorry for all of you with the lurgy I had it for 3 weeks at the end of November and have only just started felling really better, apart from an achilles tendon pain so I'm on painkillers that could floor king kong

I think ds has had foot and mouth... we are meant to be going to my family for Christmas, for the first time in years. My DM has four days off (she's a nurse, this is unhead of) including the big one... but my grandparents are in their nineties and frail, and so now I'm panicking we won't be able to go. Mum will be devastated, she's been so excited about having her DGS there... me too Sad

So I would like to come to Fiji too please.

Spudlet · 19/12/2018 18:43

Hand foot and mouth, not had.

Emotionalfuckwit · 19/12/2018 18:57

Can I come too? This fucking year can fucking fuck right off... Then fuck off some more. If you can get me a lottery win too that would be super Grin

Can I join the plane? 2018 can join in thefuckofedness along with 2017 and the back end of 2016.

Tired and worn out with the never ending hospital appointments for my daughter, the new problems her illness has produced, the fact that her life has changed so much, fed up with fighting the education system to let her carry on with the education that her illness has robbed her off.

Feeling everyone else is at xmas parties except me and DH Sad A few years ago we would have had a busy social calendar throughout December...but it's all different now. Social media and media in general is really getting me down atm. Can't wait for the next week or so to be over.

foodenvy · 19/12/2018 23:12

Another one for Fiji 🙋‍♀️ I have hand foot and mouth. Have at least 100 blisters on each hand and that’s no exaggeration.

Lavenderdays · 20/12/2018 14:39

Bad cold, not sleeping at night due to waking baby and Christmas food shopping etc still to do...just want to crawl into bed and not be bothered with it all but can't - dh is at work and I have two young dc to look after. Not terrible in the grand scheme of things but I just want to sleep!
Judeeee, I've not been to any Christmas parties either; the one social event that I was going to go to, got cancelled, blah, not getting into the spirit of things I fear! My two eldest dc break up from school tomorrow - can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing but dh is taking leave next week, so on balance it is probably a good thing = some lie-ins at least.
