Horrible, horrible year
by TJMum @ 2008-03-25 - 21:56:06

I'm so sorry to have a moan like this but I'm having an awful year. Since my absolutely dreadful Christmas things have gone downhill. Most weeks one of us, if not all of us, have been ill - with colds, coughs, stomach bugs, ear infections and myself having an abscess in my breast, twice! My dad has to go in for a heart bypass and I'm over 600 miles away without a chance of getting to see him. He's 76. And to top it all I've now lost two of my cats; one died during the night. She was in the kitchen when I came in in the morning. My other cat passed away on Sunday. I am absolutely gutted as this has happened within three weeks and they meant the world to me. At the moment we are completely snowed in, my darling little Tim has had to be put in a freezer in the shed as the nearest pet crematorium is over an hour away (and the roads are impassable) and we rent so he can't be buried in the garden, and both my boys and myself are suffering from awful head colds that have lasted for around four weeks now. At least my husband hasn't got man flu yet; I'm just waiting for this to happen!

I would say it can't get worse, but know from experience it can!

Sorry to moan like this but am really feeling down and fed up at the mo.

I'm really sorry to see that you're having such an awful time at present. It happens, and when it does it all seems to do so at the same time or with one thing after another. I'm sure that it will change and improve soon. Clearly the continuing bad weather hasn't helped and when that ends, as it will, then that will undoubtedly help.
There's no need to be sorry for having a moan here as you've every right to...I know that I would! I'm also not surprised that you're feeling down and fed up.
I can but sympathise as I know what it's like to go through a period like this. Take care xx

Hello TJMum, what a sad post, don't apologise for having a moan, if you can't do it here where can you do it with all the problems and worries that you have at the moment, especially when the weather is also getting you down, you have every right.

We your friends can only sympathise from a distance, not a real help, but believe me, we do care. I hope that even the act of getting the words down in your post will make things a little easier, I find that it does.

Big hug, take care of your self.

What a sad posting. I can only re-iterate the words of the above two comments and add that I hope things rapidly improve. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks to you all for your comments. They do mean a lot. Yes, I know things will get better, just being able to get out today (even if it did mean we had to plough our way through the snow with 2 pushchairs) made a big difference.

Oh well, roll on summer! (Ha ha).

hope you're feeling a bit chirpier, have you tried Vitamin C or echinachea tabs? I've been on a high dose of Vit C for the last two weeks to keep hubbys cold away from me!

Umm, let's see. Husband and two boys with runny noses, coughs and sore throats (or man flu!). Trying to potty train a toddler, who is really riling us up at the moment, trying to pack up a household as we're moving back down south (a neccessity for the health of my youngest) and keep sane! Oh well, it'll soon be Christmas. Oh yes, and my Dad is going in for a bypass next week and I'm 600 miles away. Things look a bit brighter with the sunshine but I'm really at my wits end at the mo.
Won't be trying vit c after all the hype with vitamins shortening your life, plus it really plays my IBS up! I think I'll take up drinking (joke)!
