Just need to let it out

I have been pretty sick with a stomach bug for about 3 weeks now and I’m unable to go to the doctor. My husband works until late in the night and I’m home alone with a 5,4,2 and 6 month old so I can’t just go by myself. I guess I’m just frustrated because I haven’t felt good at all and can’t get help. I’m not eating or sleeping much at all. My house is a disaster because I try to clean but the kids dirty it and I have no energy to clean it. Sorry for the rant.

I hope you recover soon. When I’m not feeling well, I order food, shut myself in the bedroom with the little ones, and put on the TV for them. I close the doors—making sure to remove anything that could hurt them—and we just stay in bed watching television. I might not actually fall asleep, but at least we’re there with food and drinks, safe and sound inside the room where I know they are secure with me, while I lie down to recover.
