When it rains it pours.

I have had the crappiest week, well two weeks really.

And just when i felt like things couldn't get worse they did over and over again.

So my last blip i had had my wisdom teeth out. Well i've been in pain all week with it, my jawbone aches and i've had a dull headache. I'm on nurofen every 3 hours. Its healing now and the pain is becoming less but it still hurts to chew and my lower jaw really aches if i haven't had pain relief on time.

Andre was home Monday his throat was sore unfortunately he doesn't have any more leave so he had to go back to work Tuesday.

Monday morning i had a meeting at whakatata house where they kind of review kids with anxiety and see what they can do to help. So i went and told them our life story for an hour and a half in agony with my mouth they then said well we think you've got it all under control with Marley and we think you're fantastic so we don't need to see you again.

Tuesday i had neurologist for Kanye who has lost weight and so is back on pediasure, he also had his flu jab.

Wednesday i had a meeting at school for Marley to review how hes doing and hes progressing, the things they want him to achieve next are minor things so i'm not too worried but it is stuff i have to do at home too so its more things i'll have to try fit in.

Wednesday night Harper started teething again so barely slept which means i barely slept. Same happened last night.

Yesterday was relaxed but i was so exhausted, Andres been on early shift which means i wake when he does at 5am. I've also been waking in the night to take pain relief and put Kanye back to bed.

Last night we noticed the carpet was wet in front of the cylinder cupboard so our landlord came around.

The plumber came today and discovered a crack in the t join of the cold water pipe so replaced it but even though he turned the water off there was still water in the pipes so it kinda flooded a bit in our hallway which is carpeted and it went under the wall into the kitchen under the kitchen drawers.

He sealed the break and replaced the part but upon trying to turn the water back on, the handle for the water broke off, which was unfortunate because it was down in a pipe outside our door. So he had to drill a hole in the concrete to turn the water back on. All in all we were without water for four hours. Not much fun when you have a pile of wet towels from drying the carpet and duvets that were sitting in the bottom of the cupboard where the leak was that need to be washed and its going to rain all weekend.

He left and i managed to get some of the water up with my in laws little wet vacuum.

Totally exhausted from all of this stuff all week on top of regular housework, taking care of pets ,taking care of children, homework, form signing ,appointment making, budget doing, dinner cooking, lunch making, mediating, grocery shopping etc etc - i made a huge mistake i was soooo incredibly tired and mentally exhausted today i forgot Marley took his scooter to school. I realized at 6pm so we went to look for it , we've just got back and its gone. During school hours they can guarantee its safety because the scooter and bike racks are in sight of classrooms and office but after that they cant. I feel so awful. Mar cried. It was my mistake I've apologized a lot but i still feel awful. We cant afford another scooter right now not that his was expensive to begin with i think it was $40 from the warehouse but we don't have any free spending money until next payday on the 15th.

Ugh i feel like I've been in this big deep hole and I've been trying to get out but with every new thing that doesn't go right or that adds to my very full plate of responsibilities and things i have to think about i'm getting pushed down. I haven't been myself for 2 weeks and i'm tired and all i want is for one thing, one single thing to change, to go right, that's all it takes to turn this around, to help me get out of this hole i'm in.

This pic of Harper eating toast this morning has been the only thing worth smiling about.
