ARRRGGH! and to add to all of the below I just had to re-type it all out because my STUPID connection died when I tried to post the first time!!! I give up. I'm going to bed. 
I have been reading lots but not posting so much. But today was the last straw and I have to vent! 
We had a power outage last night that scrambled our baby monitor and woke up DD (and by default, us) at 1am. It turned out to be a ‘planned outage’ by our power company. How did I find this out? I got a letter from them this morning alerting me to it and saying we should turn off our electrical stuff in case of surges etc. Thanks for that advance notice, power company. 
Then DD went down for a nap so I thought I had a chance to check my email and do some work in the short space of time I have while she is asleep. But instead I discover that there are ‘issues’ with the connection from our internet provider. When I call their customer service line I get told they are working on it and it should be up and running by 10am. 10.30am it’s still not working. It’s going for about 10 minutes at 10.40am (enough time for me to receive emails but not to send the replies I write) but DD is also awake. It’s down again next time I try and their message is that there have been delays and try again at 11am. Right. I call their customer line again...and they put me on hold. That was a fun phone call. At 1pm I finally get access, but have lost all will to try and be productive and get some work done. Don't cut off a stay at home mum’s link to the outside world!!
Angry, angry mummy.
Edited to fix angry typing typos and remove supplier names, just in case

WARNING RANT AHEAD!
My rant is a multiple layered one just for the enjoyment of one and all... basically my life is pretty crap at the moment - ooooh feel a long post coming up...
1. I have been living at my mum's for 2 months now and am going crazy!! Peter (dh) is away all through the week and we only se each other at the weekends where all we do is bicker because we are tired and stressed about our living situation and sick of my mum and her partner constantly lecturing us on our lives!
2. Joey is very sick with high temperature and a mouth full of ulcers. He has "slept" in my bed for the past two nights and spent most of that time screaming and (see point 1) I have to deal with it all myself. I have had no sleep for 2 nights, am preggy and still have morning sickness and feel like cr@p.
3. Today is MY BIRTHDAY and I have to spend the day all alone with a screaming Joey (see points 1 & 2). I have no friends here to meet for coffee and even if I did couldn't meet them because Joey is contagious to other young kids. Also no pressies  and my mum didn't even ask if we should meet for lunch or coffee or something although she took out my little sister (19) for lunch on Tues just because se was going back up to Uni.
 Have spent most of the morning in tears feling sorry for myself and bad for Joey.
I am sure I could add more to my rant like the 6 (!!!!) houses we have tried to buy in Blenheim that have all fallen through or my low blood pressure or my mum telling me that I should be working and being a sahm mum is worthless.... Anyway will sign off now so I have more to complain about another day, heheheheh
Feel a wee bit better now...

Ana, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU!! 
Sounds like you guys are having a real rough time at the moment. If i lived close i would come around for a coffee or take Joey so you could have a nap.
I hope things improve with ya mum or you find a house real quick. And also that Joey sleeps better for you tonight.
