Hello, it's me, remember me? I thought the thread title was rather apt. I've only come on here for some sympathy and to be completely selfish, but I thought you'd want to hear what a shit time I've been having lately (sorry). Top of my shit-list is the fact that Sophie broke her arm in 2 places yesterday. She fell off some play equipment at a local forestry place and I feel utterly wretched as I couldn't catch her. She's now in a full arm cast, complete with sling and is managing pretty well with one arm, but is struggling to get comfortable in bed. Any advice on that would be brilliant. I am suffering from major, major mummy-guilt and can't stop crying about it.
All compounded by the fact that I've been quite unwell for the past few weeks, really nauseous, knackered, off-food etc etc. Not pregnant but feels like morning-sickness. Dr didn't take me seriously at first, but I went back and stamped my foot a bit until they did a blood test and I'm amaemic, which explains a lot of things. Was just starting to feel a bit more normal again (on iron tablets) and then Sophie gets injured.
Work is hard hard hard, my lovely boss has left and I now work for someone who is nice enough, but just not the same. Has no kids and doesn't have much of a sympathy gene. God alone knows how I'm going to cope this week as I feel like I'm just going to flake out at any moment.
So there you go, there's my happy happy news. Just needed to vent a little, but can't hold a conversation right now without bursting into tears so here's a good place right?
Hope all's OK with you lovely ladies, and I really miss having the time to chat with you all. xxx
