Punch after punch

I feel like a crap mum. I have twins (3) and for the last few days they've been sick and v.demanding as to be expected if they're not well but I'm so drained.

I had the covid jab a week ago - that might have something to do with it too.

I feel the bell is ringing for my attention constantly and I sometimes feel genuinely sick when I hear "mum, mum, mummy."

I feel so tired and run down because of lockdown also. I didn't want to be locked in with my kids for that long - the virus isn't dangerous for myself or my kids. I feel like we've been without social support for so long.

Add to that the fact that they haven't exposed to any bugs for a whole year and now they're all mixing together at nursery.

As a family we've not been able to afford childcare until recently either (I managed to get a part time job and sort childcare). I've also been busy going for different interviews also - and managed to secure a full time job, albeit a short term contract but in my chosen field.

I want to do well in life but I feel it's punch after punch after punch at the moment.
