Ugh. Last night I felt something really odd at the back of my mouth. I had a look in the mirror and sure enough there was an abscess. It didn't actually feel too bad, just uncomfortable. This morning however, I was in really, really bad pain. I managed to get myself and the kiddies ready for school. Dropped them off at school and then came home to make an emergency dentist appointment. I had an appointment for 11am, I got there, the dentist looked in my mouth and I have a broken tooth at the back and an abscess, so she prescribed me antibiotics and told me to go make another appointment to have the broken tooth removed :( She asked me if I was okay  to be awake for it, I told her I was ok with it. Despite being petrified of dentist's I just need it sorted out and I know that if I have to go to a dental hospital I will be waiting weeks for an appointment. In the mean time, I am to take the antibiotics - one 3 times a day and I have some pain killers for the pain. The dentist forgot to stamp the prescription so I had to go allllll the way back after I picked the kiddies up from school. I've finally got my antibiotics, I just hope and pray they kick in soon and that they help because I can't bare this pain. It sucks.
 Now, I have suffered with toothache before but not quite like this, this is a whole other level of pain. I actually suffer badly with my teeth, despite me brushing my teeth twice a day (at least!) using mouth wash and what not, I still suffer, I have nice straight teeth and I take care of them. My dad is the same - we both suffer badly with toothache. It's weird isn't it?! (Probably doesn't help that the broken tooth is a baby tooth, which is why it broke. Strangely enough the same thing has happened the other side of my mouth and that is also a baby tooth! I'm twenty eight and still have baby teeth. Well two halves. It's not exactly a good thing though.. I don't think).

Well, I just needed to have a moan about it because I am feeling sorry for myself! Hopefully I will get some decent shut eye tonight and wake up tomorrow in not so much pain!

At least the kids have been well behaved and even been helping me with housework *shocked face*. It's funny trying to watch Ellie sweep the floor with the broom which is double her height, LOL! She insisted though and I thought why not let her have a try while she's feeling helpful. Of course, I had to sweep it after but at least she made me chuckle and she wanted to help, bless her. Charlie tidied all the shoes and Harry helped put the dishes away. If only they could be as helpful every day.....

I'm off for a nice hot bubble bath and to have a read of my book!

So, it feels like I am coming down with a cold, at least I hope it's just a cold and not flu! Eugh. 
But of course, there's no rest for the wicked. Life goes on. I don't have a chance to sit back and relax. I have piles of laundry to wash, hang out, fold and put away. There's school uniforms and packed lunches, hoovering to be done and dishes to be washed, dried and put away. Dinners to cook and kids to pick up from school (except today because there was no school. It's May day and therefore a bank holiday. Thank goodness). I had an unsettled night last night, I don't know if it's because I changed my bedroom around and so the bed is in a different spot in the bedroom or because I just wasn't really feeling tired. Or maybe it was because I am coming down with a cold or something. Who really knows?! It was just one of *those* nights where I kept waking up and was up and down. It didn't help that the cat was meowing because she needed the litter tray and couldn't go because the door closed. Then she processed to be a pain in the behind and carried on meowing because she wanted t o go outside. 3am is not a good time for her to go outside, especially as one of the neighbours cats has gone missing (he's been missing since Friday night/early hours of Saturday morning. I really hope he turns up). 

I just hope tonight is a better night. I also hope that I feel better tomorrow. Or at least my throat doesn;t hurt so bad. 

Tomorrow is grocery shopping day but to be honest I could do without going. Not going to happen. Obviously we have to eat and so I shall plod on and go to Morrisons, get a weeks worth of groceries and go pay bills and whatever errands need to be done. Must remember to put the prescription for my medication in at the doctors!  
I can't complain too much because the kids aren't bad and they do try to help me if I ask them. Sometimes though, it would be nice just to have a break from everyday things, especially when I am feeling not so great. 
Chance would be a fine thing, eh?!  A woman's works is never done. 

Anyway, aside from that the weather has been amazing. Warm and sunny, lots of blue skies. The kiddies have been able to play outside in our large back garden. We're really fortunate to have a large back garden. the weather is suppose to be nice again tomorrow, if I'm feeling up to it maybe we could have a BBQ after school. Best make the most of it because after tomorrow it's suppose to be overcast and not as warm. Still, it beats winter, lol.

Anyway this post isn't really going anywhere, I just needed somewhere to whinge and whine, lol!! We all have days like that, right?
