Anyone else feel like they are cracking up?

[wickedwitchmonica]

Really feel like I am losing control of everything, had another crap week, dd getting over a virus, freaking out over building work (walls being knocked down, thick dust everywhere, half a kitchen, half a bathroom), she had a school trip on Wed and had to go in a real air raid shelter then they set the siren off! FFS, she also had a sponsored walk (struggles with routine change etc),builders in and out, poor thing understandably has been waking at night even more than usual.

DH having an uncertain time at work, bringing work home etc, got to somehow get a video done of dd to send to RDI consultant by next week, lounge is full of kitchen drawers, can't find anything, no oven/microwave so having to take kids out for tea (nightmare of eating out in public etc.)

Trying to get to grips with dd's new interventions S.I.D., sleep therapy, RDI etc etc
Family 300 miles away (not that they would offer) and a dh who is out of house 7am to 8pm!!

Sorry rant over....

Hugs WWM. Sometimes it all comes at once, doesn't it? Try projecting yourself ahead a couple of weeks and most of it will be over by then. It works for me.

And don't be too hard on yourself. You're allowed to feel overwhelmed from time to time. There ain't no such thing as superwoman!

Monica honey

Is there anyway you can get any help from SS with direct payments. May be able to make your life a little bit easier. Wish I could do/say more to help.

Hugs Blossom xxxxxx

Oh and just wanted to also add I frequently feel like I am cracking up so you are not alone xxx

YES!!!!

hello monica are you my twin

Oh love. Poor you. What a nightmare. Can you come round to ours for tea? Or would DD find that just as hard? When is the building work going on until? Can we get out and take your mind off it?
And it is bloody difficult with the DH scenario- they're out all day and it is a mare at the moment

oh Monica hun, so sorry to read this. Let me know when you might be able to escape for a vodka nt and we'll sort it. xxx

Thanks for all your lovely comments The "woe is me" feeling is slipping (thanks to a large glass of Bloosomhowl, I mean Bloosomhill ) Dh bless him has just given me a good talking to and told me he thinks I am doing loads of excellent RDI stuff with dd (think I do put myself under too much pressure sometimes Karenthirl!) Also had a fantastic reply from RDI consultant after I had updated him with how things we were going, he couldn't believe what an excellent start we had made and feels dd "is ready to just blossom!"

BH don't feel ready to access direct payments, I think mainly because I know so many other amazing mums who cope with far more than I have to (on here and in real life JakB/RnB) and I feel it's so difficult to get I would feel guilty and prefer more deserving families to have it IYKWIM.
Would love to get to a meetup though honey and catch up xxx
Mabs I would so love to meet up can we book something in nowfor definite? for November sometime?? xx

Also feel better having spoken to JakB, who always manages to make me laugh, and was so positive and understanding (even with all the crap she has to deal with!!!)I can now take myself out of crisis mode ....

Monica wicked witch, u say the word for the vodka nt and I'll be there, but will be away 2 -7 November. When is good for you? x

Hi Mabs possibly 11th/12th could do following weekend if better, nothing much on in November apart from our 12th wedding anniversary but highly unlikely I will be whisked off anywhere!! Would be good if we could organise so RnB/JakB/Custardo can make it too??

definitely, i'll email them and see how their diaries are.

monica - you are a star for just surviving this. keep going; the sunlit uplands are just around the corner and you deserve them.

have emailed them all Monica and Cat ed you.xx

ahhhhh blodka

monica

so sorry that life has been so stressful. I hope you are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel...?

I feel pretty similar at the moment. I feel like I have SO much on atm. Just juggling therapists, Ben being psycho, Rex, nursery, college, the house and ermm trying to do RDI (not really happenning atm) being stressed out about my sister (she probably needs dialysis now)- trying to get her diagnosed with AS.... .ARRGGHHHHH. DH is even talking about moving house now ARRGGHHH

you are not alone. So sorry I havent been in touch recently I really hope you are OK. Vodka night sounds like a good plan. Whos house? Welcome to come here.

xxxxxxx

mind about to explode!!!

Thanks for the email MABS and organising this, really looking forward to seeing you, hope you can make the blodka night hellmouthcusty!

Bloody hell RnBlood sorry you are having a crap time, been thinking a lot about your sister, really hope she is going to be ok and gets the help/dx she needs!
Got the RDI invoice too! yikes will email you soon x

Hi Monica, sorry to hear things are all a bit much at the moment. I'm sure you're doing a great job. It always sounds so spoilt, but I HATE having decorators or builders in, its so disruptive and they make such a bloody mess! I always have to remember to buy sugar cubes too (DS empties out bags of sugar etc) and they are the only people ay know what take something so common as sugar

have emailed you girlies with poss dates xx

Heh Monica, Mabs etc. Vodka night sounds EXCELLENT! When?
ps Davrosnobbos, I take sugar! (only since DS, so knackered need as much of a kick as possible)

Think I cracked up a while ago!!!

Having probs sending emails, shall we make it 19th at JakB's club? is this ok for you MABS?

Dahling, my 'club'!

perfect, have mailed you all. Are white stilettos and boobtubes still ok for Koba Jakb?

Oh yeah, MABS. I'm wearing my leather boob tube and my wedges

ok Jak ...I'll wear the white pvc miniskirt if you're sure you aren't?
