just really upset and sad, need to vent

amd1982

i've just had a horrible couple weeks - the twins have both been sick (both got colds and now have the flu, really high fevers and just got back from docs where they tested for strep, UTI etc. and surprise, its just a viral thing) and dh and i haven't slept in five days. literally we have been up all night and seen every hour on the clock.

i just didn't need a stupid f***ing email from my boss this morning giving me grief about my sales numbers this month. everyone on my team (especially the guys) say how sexist he is, and how is gives the females (all three of us out of like 16) such a hard time. he's such a jerk. ok, yeah i had a crappy month but not due to lack of trying. it just wasn't a great month. it's like he asked all of these rhetorical questions in the email so i don't even know how i'm supposed to answer. between being 5 months pregnant and getting no sleep, i am an emotional zombie mess. i'm just sitting here crying not knowing how i'm ever going to be able to balance everything. sorry for the vent - just feeling sorry for myself and anxious about the future. thanks for reading.

Big, big hugs amd.  Your boss sounds like a jerk.

I'm feeling really stressed and freaked out as well, and I only have one at home.  I just feel like I have way too much to do at work in the next 4 weeks, plus just got handed 2 new projects.  And I have way too much to do at home, we don't even have the nursery ready.  And MH is gone too much, and I just feel overwhelmed.

Being exhausted doesn't help.  Can you and YH try doing shifts tonight so you can each get a solid 4 hours of sleep?  Or is that impossible with 2?

I hope your LOs get better really soon.  Just keep breathing.  You will make it through this somehow.

I'm so sorry things have been so tough.  Your boss sucks!  I can't imagine caring for sick twins while pregnant.  Hope you get some much needed sleep soon.  hugs!

((Hugs)) that sounds horrible on all accounts. Your boss sounds like he needs a chair to the face what an ass! I second trying to do shifts if at all possible. Do you have anyone who could help for a few hours so you could take a nap? I hope the twins feel better soon and that you all can get some sleep!

ugh - sounds like you have so much on your plate, and jerk boss didn't need to add to it! hugs and hope the twins are feeling better soon.

Hugs. I hope your twins start to feel better. Two sick babies is tough and I can only imagine how much tougher it is being pregnant and operating on no sleep. Sorry about your boss being a jerk. I hope your able to get some sleep real real soon and that the two lo's start to feel better.

I'm so sorry- vent away. You have such a full plate, and I can't even imagine two sick babies at the same time. You are a saint.

Hang in there

thanks ladies! LeahB I took your advice and had a good cry session yesterday. Then put my big girl pants on and got going. DD's fever finally broke and although I woke a couple times last night to rub her back, DH and I got some solid shuteye and i think things are on the up and up.

as for my boss, he's a dink. trying to push me and one other female out - he won't get to me. let him fire me and i'll get unemployment, but i'm not a quitter. i'm just going to bust butt until my maternity and then if i need to make a change, so be it. thanks again for all the support and for letting me vent. sometimes i feel like a bad mom but you all make me feel like i'm doing an ok job
