AIBU to think this is just not bloody fair!

My children and I (all over 17) have come away for a few days. Only a few. I work full time, bloody hard and I am also doing a full time degree. I decided back in April that I needed to do what others always tell me to do, take some time for myself, look after me. I’m a single parent so money isn’t wonderful but I saved and saved for these few days so that we could all be together and relax (I wouldn’t at home, I’d do jobs…the endless jobs).
We arrived to find small plum pips all over the garden (we have our two dogs) which are toxic for dogs and mine were munching on them like they were gourmet! So I spent the first day picking them all up along with the many cigarette butts. The house is lovely, clean beautiful, but I couldn’t relax. Then my sons car was broken into, thankfully he had taken anything valuable into the house, but still had to pay the excess for the back windscreen!
Now, to just top it off, I’m in bed with a sickness bug.
Why can’t life just be simple sometimes?
I know, compared to lots, it’s not the worst thing in the world but I feel sad for me tonight.

Aw I'm sorry youve started out with such a bad holiday, it's crap when you save and plan and it goes to shit, I've just had the same, first week was a sick child all week but it turned arohnd. Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow and be able to have a good rest of trip. Do review with the company about the dirty garden so they are aware. Feel better quickly xx

Thank you Hey. It’s pants isn’t it. We are only here for 4 days so go home on Thursday morning.
I just keep telling myself that at least my children are spending some nice quality time together. One lives away and another is at uni.

@Hmm12121 sorry my notifications aren't highlighting so only seeing your comment. Did your week improve? I agree that your kids being together is great, i just hope you felt better after your post and got to spend time with them x

Thank you for asking. I spent all of Wednesday on the sofa with the dogs remembering why I hardly watch tv now, particularly daytime tv! The offspring went out and had fun but I was sad that I couldn’t be with them.
Yesterday was better, I felt much better except I hurt everywhere! We visited my firstborn sons grave (we were in the place where he was born) and made it look beautiful and it was quite special having them all together and helping to do something for their brother.
Then we stopped at a lovely village pub for lunch on the way home, the weather was actually lovely yesterday after all the rain!
We did get home to a power cut so the freezer and fridge contents are unusable but hey ho!
My eldest is here until tomorrow and middle goes back to uni on Sunday.

@Hmm12121 That's so lovely you were all there together and spent some time with your son/their brother 💙, I'm sorry for your loss. All the shitty stuff you had this week faded when I read that part thinking of you all there doing the grave, chatting and remembering. That's your holiday memory to cling to 💙

I do hope that this is your shittiest week for a few years. It is a bit of a "if it can go wrong it will go wrong" for you week 😒. Hope you get some time with your 2 before they head off x
