Need to vent and better to do it here then in real life....
Do you ever want to just stand in the middle of Tesco and bloody well scream!!! If you see a little overweight woman doing so in the next few days it will be me.
Why I hear you ask (ok you're probably not asking but I will tell you any how)
I love my family to bits and they are great people for the most part but....
My mother is unwell, she has been unwell for the past 28 years mostly with her nerves and I could regal you with tales to make your hair turn white, oh the joyful trips to the hospitals when she had convinced herself and us that she was having a heart attack/ stroke/ brain bleed...(AKA known as a panic attack) but now she really is poorly, she is a diabetic, Dr gave her pills but she would not take them, so it got worse, she smokes 40 a day has a rotten diet and thinks chocolate is a breakfast food. So she ends up in hospital and now looks like she will need an op to unclog the fuzzy blood tubes and has been given insulin (So I have had my insulin I can eat cadburys roese now)!!
Since coming out of hospital she has been staying with me and I do not mind looking after her, but today she was "too Ill" to go to the Dr so now has no strips for her blood glucose test kit, she is not really eating enough to keep her blood sugar under control and is still eating f*&%ing sweets. The nurse has been in to dress her foot and she takes most of the dressing off before the woman has started her car, I found loads of pills in her dressing gown pocket that she hid in hospital as she did not want to take them!!!!! Mum is not old or demented (just stupid) I feel like I am running up the down escalator!
And then we have my sister (who is a grown woman) lives with Mum and tells me everyday how much she has to put up with and do, and how I don't do for mum what she does, sis wont stay in a house on her own so has also been staying with me, she is the most kind hearted person in the would but by god is she lazy, It is the small stuff that is driving me up the wall, never washes up, never picks up a towel, leaves stuff all over the place, can't turn a light off or a tap, makes a drink and leaves it so not only wastefull but more washing up. Just to add to the fun not only is her boyfriend coming to stay this weekend (comes to stay a lot nice bloke) but she has told his best mate he can come too (I am not Dr Who this is a house NOT the tardis) although last Christmas she surpassed herself and invited boyfriends whole family for the weekend!!!
I then have 2 children, one with slight SN who wound up in hospital with an appendicitis 2 weeks ago, so I was running between his ward and my mothers ward.
Half term has been a non starter as mum is ill and DS1 has been recovering so we have gone 2 the cinema and that was it!
DS2 is not happy with me as I have to go away for 3 weeks in a few weeks time, I will be a long way from home (8 hour flight) and he is not happy at all (he is only 8)
My sister is not happy I am going as this will most likely coincide with my mums op ( a good friend of mine is coming to look after mum if this is the case) but I have still been yelled at over this and I think sis missed her vocation as a priest as she can make you feel sooo guilty!
The house resembles a cross between down town Basra and a jumble sale, I clean one room go to another and by the time I go back to the first room again it is knee deep in shite
So I now have a pain in my chest and after 4 days of this (I decided if it was a heart attack I would be dead by now) I wonder to the Drs and she tells me it is most likely stress and I need to wait for it I need to relax!!!!!!
So now my lovely mumsnetters if you have got this far, thank you, I am off to bed as hopefully I will get a bit of sleep before it all starts again tomorrow.
