we all have days when we feel like screaming. In my case that is everyday !! The weather and my overdrawn bank balance p***ed me off today. I went to see my friend and she gave me a huge box of Bold 2 in 1 washing powder, some kitchen cleaner and 2 bottles of shampoo !! she has saved me a fortune. She gave them to me cos she is allergic to them. I said "are you sure you are not trying to tell me something?!" so today has turned out alright in the end.

Today I feel like the invisable man. No one is listening. The football is on. Daughter has hidden away in her room so Ive got to go up yet again and ask/tell her to pick up some of the rubbish off her floor. She is more than capableof doing it. Husband wont go as doesnt want the tantrums today so I think I may as well just give up and oen a bottle of wine. Football is obviously more important. Never mind. Tomorrow is another day.ooooh deeeaaar!!!

I am one of the lucky ones where my son has respite. I love it when he has a weekend in as I get myself out with the girls and let my hair down and remind myself I am me not my son's carer/mother or at the beck and call of others.

This weekend he is respite.

And have I enjoyed my weekend with the girls.

NO

I am stuck at home loaded with a cold and am missing my son like mad. He dislikes respite so now have the added guilt of him being there when am stuck here with a tissue soaked in menthol drops and my chest thicken with vicks vapour rub.

Just can't win!

Thanks for all your replies.
the community nurse was meant to come today, while I was at uni, so husband dealing with it, when I rang him from uni he said she hadnt come- she was ill. couldnt be helped but i could have screamed.
we have decided to put him back in nappies and we wanted to order them. Now i dunno when shes coming so itll be longer before we can.

Oh Kerry your post cheered me up
My husband is in the middle of a crisis at the moment & we are having daily visits from crisis team etc etc to get him through & even though I know it will pass when his new medication kicks in it's still hell to go through.
Anyway the reason your post cheered me up was that my husband is Turkish-Cypriot & his name is Abdullah but everyone calls him Dollar - so when your post said " another day another dollar" it made me smile because I would quite gladly have swapped him for another one this past week ...hehe
Sorry about the ramblings ...... any spare hugs anywhere??

love Louise x

hahahaha louise that made me laugh hon. and thanks for the hugs Bubbles.
Pebbles I'm not a lover of chocolate and it gives me migraine but gimme a bag of jelly beans and I'm yours for life lol.
(cheap date me!!!!)

Had a nightmare tonight and I just sat in the chair with my head thrown back wishing I was somewhere else... youngest son wound hubby up and up and up.... in the end hubby totally snapped and really bellowed at him, dragging him up to his bedroom, where youngest proceeded to scream and scream ear shatteringly for about an hour or more (I dunno, I kinda went numb after 10 minutes- it coulda been a week!!!)
While hubby sat there shaking cos he never loses his temper with the boys and I think it shook him up a bit- he was so upset he couldnt eat his dinner.
But sid says I hate you so much to hubby- he doesnt mean it but its constant. he counted once and he said it 54 times in a hour- so i think he just snapped.
Plus hes got another bloody hernia which is really hurting him and making him feel sick all the time,a nd his hands are red raw from laying bricks, pus weve had countless dirty beds for weeks now (twice a night on average)
Once I managed to calm it all down, i got siddie down and persuaded him to give papa a hug and then once he did that, he burst into tears which I guessed he would cos I was the same as a child (and im a carrier so there are similarities) and snotted all over himself and his dad and the sofa and the dog and cat.

then georgie started sobbing loudly cos he cant cope with confrontation (even between others) and I gave up at that point.
Think weve smoked about ten fags each in the last two hours! If I had valium i woulda taken them.
Ive got this facial stress reliever liquid upstairs- aint done me ski much good so im gonna drink it later.
