Anyone else bogged down in sickness bugs/ colds/ and not feeling festive?

[happypiglet]

Just wanted to maon really. I love my DC (3,2 and 20weeks) but recently it seems things have got so difficult.
When I first had DD (20weeks) it seemed relatively easy but as she has got older it actually seems to be getting worse!
Coupled with bug after bug in all three of them I spend most days feeling like a glorified nurse/ skivvy. And getting no sleep.
Thankless seems to be the word at times.
DH very busy at work and not much time off over Xmas so that won't be much of a break.
I just seem to be dragging myself from one festive thing to the next but not really able to enjoy it all.
Gosh this is rambly and not making much sense....is it just me but is being a mum sometimes really really HARD!!!!!

Know the feeling -
ds2 has ahd constant cold for the last six weeks, ds1 cracked his head open at school on Tuesday, which resulted in two trips to A & E and has the cold lurgy too and dh is on his annual two week beerfest leading up to christmas(AKA Christmas lunch with clients!)
I am feeling quite festive but I'm really behind and will have to do last bits of Christmas shopping on Monday - dc's and their illnesses permitting - which is much later than I usually do and shops seem scarily busy.
