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!

These last couple of weeks has been a bit of a nightmare for me. 
First my T.V broke (I had no picture, just sound, I changed all of the leads and it wasn't them.), then my washing door broke (I was lucky enough to know someone selling one that had only been used a couple of times which was cheap. I wrote about it in my reasons to be cheerful post.) and then this weekend just gone, my freezer broke!! The insurance had just ran out on it, too. I was so mad. I did inquire via the phone number for hotpoint only to be told it was either a thermostat or an electrical fault. Both of which were likely to be costly. They did offer an engineer coming out to look at the the freezer, but I declined. *sigh* I could've cried! My grandad has offered to lend me the money for a new one if needs be. Which I am SO grateful for. Obviously I can't be without a freezer.
Not one, not two but Three very expensive, essential items break all within a couple of weeks. Seriously?! What have I done to deserve this?! Ugh. 
And today? My fridge is leaking. Awesome. 

I can't wait for May to be over, it's been a really unlucky month for me. Lets hope for a better June!

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?

Ugh, I can not believe it's snowing! In March!! It's not just snow though, it's SO windy which makes it feel so much colder than it is! School runs in that are no fun, I can tell ya! 
Today has been one of *those* days. The weather really is not helping one bit. I've really had enough of winter now, I need it to be spring!! 
Have you had any snow? 

My heating wouldn't come on. I have a PAYG meter so I stuck my card in and it wouldn't register. I knew I had money on the card and emergency credit! But it just wouldn't work, thankfully it is working now, just as well because it's SO cold! Took a few hours for my house to heat up, it's getting nicely warm now. 
Taking the kids to school this morning was not good! The snow, cold, wind and ice was horrendous  E cried most of the way to school, I felt so bad for her! The school is only a 5-10 min walk but in that weather it took double the amount of time. Where's spring got to? I am so, so longing for decent weather - spring. Daffodils, buttercups and freshly cut grass. It seems a very long way off now though. 
Facebook keeps randomly logging me out and making me prove I'm a real person. I don't know whether it's just facebook being weird, a glitch or if someone has actually reported me for not being a real person, it's very odd. Especially as it's my personal facebook! Obviously I am a real person. It could be because I don't use my real surname on facebook, I'm not really sure but whatever it is, it's driving me nuts! If it carries on I shall just delete facebook and not bother with it, I've no patience for that!! 

Apart from the above things are going great! Kids are all good, H has his school trip this week, he's excited about that. Although I've no idea how I'm suppose to take and collect him from the station when 1) I do not drive and 2) I need to take and collect the little ones to and from school. At the same time as taking/collecting H. Should be interesting to see how I'm gonna manage that one, lol. I'm sure my best friend will help me out if needs be though. We'll see if I can arrange a lift for H to get to the station. Maybe one of the teachers could take him. We'll see. 
Parents evening tomorrow after school for the boys, am excited to see how they're getting on. I still can not believe H will be TEN this year. That's a whole decade. Madness. 

Well I'm gonna go check on dinner and then put washing away. I can't wait to read more of my book tonight, it's SO easy to read on my kindle fire, honestly I never realised just how bad my eyes are until I got my kindle. I love it. The #50books2013 is going really well. 

What are you reading at the moment?

(sorry if this post is a bit of a depressing, ranty, boring post, lol. Lets just blame it on the weather. Oh, and the fact that it's Monday, lol) 

I was tagged by Mama Owl a few days ago, only just remembered about it. Oops.

Things that really get on my nerves.
This could be long, i'll try to keep it short though, lol! I am in a really ranty, whiney mood this evening :-/ Oh dear.

*Early mornings. UGH. Today started at around 5: 40am for me. Yuck. I seriously am NOT a morning person.
*People who don't answer their phone! What is the point in even having a phone if  they don't answer?!
*People who ride their motorbikes up and down the road at stupid O'clock (Like 9pm) on a weeknight  When I have kids in bed asleep & have to be up early the next day. Inconsiderate much?! Infact, I hate inconsiderate people.
*People who don't take care of there pets. Seriously if you can't afford to care for a pet DON'T GET ONE!
*The fact that Autumn is over. It definitely winter now, SO cold! I don't mind it though but I prefer Autumn, it is the best time of year!
*Slow walking people. I am a fast walker.
*I hate that I am getting older.
*Bullies.
*O2, the network keeps going down, WHY?!
*Never having any time for myself. To take a long bubble bath. Do my hair or read at least 5 pages of a book without being interrupted, lol! Ahh one day.

and the fact that I now need to get off the computer because I have dishes to wash *sigh* When can *I* have a day off?! Lol.
