Ugh...

6 min read


Well, this month has majorly sucked eggs...

I was dismissed from my caring job of three years because of a dispute between me and my Manager. She lied about changes to a rota, when I produced the evidence she tried to say I was disrespectful towards her because I was racist! What an absolute crock of s***! I love everyone equally, the vast majority of my colleagues were different races and nationalities and we got along so well! Two of my WHITE ENGLISH colleagues wrote false statements for my Manager claiming I called her names but the nurse and Matron stated otherwise and it still went against me. What the hell am I meant to do now! I have a 20 month old son (they've seen him in my tummy, growing up!) and my partner hasn't worked while due to mental health issues.

I'm absolutely heartbroken.

I managed to get myself a job interview and was offered a job with a well known fast food brand and was over the moon to hear the day after being dismissed that I was successful and had got the job! I went through the process, under the impression I would be getting a nice 24 hours a week. Go in to sign my contract today and boom... It's flexible hours for the first 3 months, so no guarantee of hours... I mean what the f***! How can people be expected to live off that. The Manager was well aware of my situation...

To took it all off with a nasty, rotten cherry in two days time is the second anniversary of my Grandad's death. It hit all of my family pretty hard but more so me and my Mum. We were his favourites and I was pregnant when he died. He never got to meet Joshua. So, as you can imagine with all this going on I have had very little time to get online to which I am very sorry! I will try and pick up as best I can and try and perk up my positivity again.

Love to you all!

Aww man,
the last four days have been an absolute nightmare which I never wish to repeat again!
Friday night Josh awoke from his usually peaceful sleep with a piercing shriek. When we went to his room me found him absolutely swimming (head to toe) in vomit! It was as if he had just chucked up the entire bowl of pasta bolognese he had for lunch that day, assuming perhaps he had just over filled that little tummy we got him up and stripped his bed before jumping in the bath with him.

Huge mistake....

Josh continued vomiting whilst in the bath and after being dried in his room. The smell was horrendous; working with the elderly I realised that smell wasn't typical vomit smell. It was stomach bug sick and I had just been in the bath with the poor little bugger splashing the water around... Josh continued to have small bouts of sickness through the night and finally settled properly around 12am.

I'm sleeping quite peacefully until I hear hurried footsteps and a retching sound from beside me. My partner was making a dash for the toilet, violently hurling into the pan. Great. Just bloody great. This continued every half an hour or so until 3am and he settled on the sofa in an almost upright position.

4am and I was woken by a dream of me vomiting, feel that terrible swell in my stomach before dashing for my partner's "sick bowl" beside the bed. But of course I wasn't just unlucky to be vomiting, it came out of both ends like water! There are am trying to care for a 13 month old, an adult baby and myself all the while trying not to poop my pants.

My partner's mother was brave enough to venture up at 9am and took the little terror (who thankfully, had stopped being sick) and took him out for a few hours so we could try and gather a bit of rest between the vomiting and toilet dashes. We couldn't be more thankful to her! Everything seems to have settled now but my rib muscles and stomach are still killing me from the effort of constant puking. We have been going around madly disinfecting EVERYTHING and washing all clothing on high to kill it off.

So guys, how have you been?

;)
