Crap like accidents, leaking, etc always seem to land all at once for me too. Trust me I know the feeling, especially with 2 kids now. Sometimes I get through the whole day and feel like I never had 3 minutes to direct how I wanted, and THEN something goes wrong 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Life is a shitstorm a lot of the time. I just try to enjoy the fight. I’ll reach a point every now and again where so many things have gone wrong on top of each other that the next thing just makes me laugh hysterically 😂 (recent flooded basement from mild rain comes to mind). If the fight feels like it never lets up, all I can say is learn to enjoy wrestling with it if you can, and take just one thing (don’t focus on the likely 40 other things you wish you could do, but pick one), and try to make 1% progress on it every day, and when you can’t, just try not to let it stagnate and do something simple.
This might all be useless to you, but just in case something here helps. Things will get better, fix the problems one at a time and keep moving forward. Small progress feels like nothing, but it builds over time stronger than most realize.
Also, when you hit the toughest moments, just go hug your kids.
