Your husband bieng sick did not prove that you couldn't handle the day without him. You had a sick him, as well as everything else in life. You took on extra, and yes you may have not been as patient as you would have liked, but I am sure a hug from the kids will help.... as for the thumb, ice may help .

It sounds like you have little ones... they seem to know exactly what buttons, and when to push them. Get some rest and you will feel better.
