Having a cr*ppy day.........

and I just want to sit down and cry.

Yes I know I've already posted this - but the last title didn't really sum it.........so reposting with the 'appropriate' title.

First of all slept in. Woke up at 8.15 so had to run around like a maniac getting DS1 ready for school. Then had to call the dr.s to get an emergency appointment to get the Morning After pill. Got that for 11.20 - so it screwed up my morning. Thankfully no ill effects, apart from a severe case of "PMT" (obviously won't know if it's worked for a few weeks ). Rushed back home and had lunch (and took the pill) then had to dash off to work to see my NVQ assessor. Got back, put DS2 down for a sleep, got DS1 from school. Sat down for a while and then started dinner about 5.30 (as per normal) Phone rang - didn't get off for ages. Because of my sh*tty food processor it took me 1hr to get the fish cake recipe I was doing into the oven. I've just took them out and they're cooling down - but I've not done any starch to go with it or veg (not too worried about that as there's tons in it).

It's now 7.30 - the kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it, it's been raining so I couldn't hang my washing outside - so my uniform is still damp and I need it dried and ironed by 9.20pm. The kitchen looks like it's had two bombs dropped on it (faffing around with that bl**dy processor and using flour didn't help). The boys have (thankfully) just tidied up the living room so it doens't look too bad. But I need to wait for their dinner to cool down, put new sheets on DS1's bed and get them ready for bed by 8pm (or there abouts). I then have to tidy the kitchen up, try and get my uniform sorted out, eat my dinner, prepare something extra to go with the fish cakes (DS's can have bread ) and make sure the house is in 'order'.........before I then dash off to work at 9.30 (after DH gets in at about 9.25). I'll then be asleep most of tomorrow, but have a parents evening in the evening, then toddler group to play the piano for on Thursday, plus a meeting in the evening. The vicar is coming over on Friday morning to sort out the hymns for the next month or so, I've got choir practice in the evening, then work again. Saturday is DS1's 6th birthday - but I'll be spending most of it in bed (because I'm working this weekend). Working Saturday night, play for the service on Sunday morning.............I've also got my NVQ work to be getting on with.

And then of course on top of all that I'm going to have the constant worry in the back of my head of "what if" the morning after pill doesn't work..........

I just want to be able to sit down one evening and relax without worrying about all this stuff

Blimey..........

SpaceCadet · 12/09/2006 19:54

nothing constructive to say ..but have a ((hug)) from me.
i havent seen your other thread

ComeOVeneer · 12/09/2006 19:57

I've "seen" you come through some difficult times so I'm sure you will cope with this situation with your usual panache. Good luck and (try to) relax.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:02

Thanks - it just all feels so much - it was bad enough thinking about it all last night (before the pg scare bit started) - but then all this faffing today has knocked me for six......DS's are still eating their dinner....so they're going to be late to bed too.....

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:16

it gets even better - just realised I've got no tights left - which means I can't wear tights with my uniform tonight - and these days it's getting cold in the early hours of the morning and I really need them

Wow, hon, you are trying to cope with an awful lot. Is there anything you could drop for a while? You need to be kinder to yourself, or you'll reach a point where you can't do any of it. Thinking of you.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:23

nope nothing can be dropped atm. It think it's all just come 'at once' and hit me like a ton of bricks.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:31

and here I am with just 1hr before I have to leave for work with loads still to do and don't know where to start. The boys are in bed, and fed - and they tidied the living room up beautifully. But I've still got to

Iron my uniform (hopefully the heat will help it dry!)
Tidy the kitchen (huge job - well it looks it)
Eat my dinner
Prepare something to go with the fancy fishcakes I made (but not essential as DH is used to having bread and salad bits with his meals)
Get changed

oh hun, my thoughts are with you, do you have a nearby garage/shop that you could see if they have tights and bring tem to work?

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:38

yes I suppose I could try the corner shop on the way there.......they don't usually have my size in (I'm short and skinny) but it's worth a try. I've now made the move of getting the ironing board out and switching the iron on........uniform is still damp though...

OP posts:
Mhamai · 12/09/2006 20:43

Could you place your inform on rads/boiler as well? know it's easy for me to say but try and stay calm. Sure don't worry about the tights, it'll give the old boys a smile.......well after your bra incedent maybe not

Mhamai · 12/09/2006 20:46

Ps meant to say saw pictures of your hols, your boys are beautiful, must go now, best of luck for getting ready and later.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2006 20:55

lol thanks. You made me then. I've ironed my uniform and it's practically dry. Just called DH and he's said he doesn't mind doing the kitchen (I'll do what I can). Going to have a really quick shower now........hopefully will make me feel a bit 'clearer'.......

OP posts:
HRHQueenOfQuotes · 13/09/2006 16:43

well didn't manage to get any tights - so frozen last nightt - ho hum - I'll get some for Friday. Was a really quiet night at work (buzzer only went off 2 times the whole night - unheard of really!).....which was nice in one respect....but horrible in that I just had even more time to sit and 'mull' things over.

Still feeling stressed but at least the DS's are behaving this afternoon.

Hey HRHQOQ are you there?

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 14/09/2006 01:09

yes I'm here

OP posts:
HRHQueenOfQuotes · 14/09/2006 01:10

ooo - just seen you offer me a quick natter........really should sleep - just told DH I'd be coming to bed soon (not sure we'll get 'up' to anything given the pg scare the other day LOL).

OP posts:
HRHQueenOfQuotes · 14/09/2006 01:11

infact I've just looked at the time and I really should go to bed - didn't realise it was so late !

OP posts:
Mhamai · 14/09/2006 01:11

Oh lord HRH, is there anyone ie friends or neighbours that could babysit? I'd offer myself only I'd have a bit of a hike from Dublin! Sorry not making light of it, just trying to cheer you up a bit.

Mhamai · 14/09/2006 01:13

No worries, will catch up with you at some stage, don't forget to get your tights!

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 14/09/2006 01:15

no - unfortunately most of my babsitters are teenage girls from church - wonderful girls who are practically falling overthemslves to look after the boys (even though they know that it's for free!) - but they're all at school. May just have to take DS2 to the staff meeting with me - that'd be fun - but I think my manager would be ok(ish) with it.

The morning - well I'll just have to drink lots of black coffee (haven't drunk that since I was pg with DS1..........oh perhaps I shouldn't say that given that I won't know if the morning after pill has worked for a few more weeks ).

Seriously - thanks for your 'ear'. Sometimes it just helps to 'vent' on here. Must go and sleep now!
