Sometimes Life Sucks

So, this morning my two year old son woke me up screaming at 3am. After I managed to carry my son into the living room I suddenly had a sharp pain in my lower back. I ignored it as it is most likely from the pregnancy and tried to calm my son down. I finally got him to eat some breakfast around 6am but he still wasn't happy. Although it is summer I live in England so it was pouring with rain and my son was insisting on going outside. I was feeling particularly unhappy and ended up being sick all over my sofa. My mum then came round at midday, talking about how boring her life is and how my house really needed a clean. We then spent a few hours arguing about names to call my daughter. This was an extremely stupid conversation and utterly pointless by the end as we made no progress. To make matters worse, my ex-boyfriend (the father of my son) couldn't look after him this weekend and a few weekends in the line. This made me so angry and I just burst into tears. I took my son to playgroup at 2pm and was looking forward to a nice lunch in the local café. After ordering my food I got my purse to pay the bill and realised that I'd left all my cash (including card) in the house. I apologised and they cancelled my order so I went home to get a much needed cup of tea. Once I got home I found that I had no tea and for me this is a big deal as I love tea! I then started to clean the house but my back was now even sorer and I was almost in tears when I stood up from hovering. I then picked up my son at half four and sat him on the sofa watching TV. I was making him some dinner when I then discovered that there were no meals prepared in the fridge. (I pre-make meals in batches with my mum to save time) I found some carrots and potatoes and boiled them and mashed them. My son then refused to eat them (as usual) but went into a huge tantrum about it. He's now asleep (as he didn't have a nap at nursery anyway) so I finally have some time to wine about how crap I am feeling. Sometimes I feel like its all hard work and no reward

Shew! Your day sounds like an extra dose of Monday! Hopefully that means tomorrow you'll have an amazing day (fingers crossed for ya)! I struggle to do anything once I'm home from work, so I don't know how y'all do it when you have a LO already and are pregnant as well...I'm even more tired just contemplating that! 

I hope your day gets better!

Having a bad day as well, arguing with mom has just drained me. I can't stand living here but it is kind of my only option right now. Stuck in bed rest, my bf is at work and my mom is in the other room on the phone telling people how mean I am. I have no more fight or energy in me. Just gonna cry myself into a nap.
