Last night I nearly lost it with the kids, with dh with everything. They've all been ill for 3 weeks, this is the 4th week. First dd had a bad dose of flu and was bad for over a week, she now sees flashing lights in her eyes from time to time and says strange and disturbing things, I'm very worried about her.
Then dh got her bug and he was laid low for a week, so I looked after the kids alone.
Then ds got a nasty bug, which meant another week of being cooped up looking after another poorly person.
Now dh is ill again, he kept me up all night by forever running to the toilet. He has severe diarrhoea like ds had. To top it off, I've got stomach cramps and slight diarrhoea too.
Today is supposed to be my day off, dd at school, ds at creché, dh at work. I felt I deserved it after doing so much caring for them all and worrying about the move and organising etc. But now dh is here smelling the bedroom and bathroom out. I'm not very well, I'd like to go back to bed but he's in there. The sheets need changing before I sleep in that bed again.
AND - I just got an email from my mum, she's got herself a pc and someone gave her my email address. I was going to write her a letter yonks ago but you wise people told me not to, since then I've not heard a peep out of her. But when I opened the email I just replied and wrote down how I felt and before I knew it I had hit the 'send' button! This will get back to me, I know it will. She'll feign illness because she's so heartbroken over what I've said, I'll get calls from my brother asking me to retract it all, I might even get the howling banshee herself! I know I shouldn't have done it, but the mood I'm in, I just had to get it off my chest. Now I've really messed up!
