Ugh, DS. I feel your pain. We don't go through quite that large of a scale, but it seems like when one thing is wrong, it sets off everything else.
I've been fighting email server issues on two different servers. It is the same problem on both. Not sure if it is an attack or just a configuration. I bumped up some allocated resources for the server and they haven't crashed yet. Maybe I found it.
It sounds like none of us are having a great day. I hope it gets better for everyone.
We had a rough night last night; one of those nights where I'm hit with the full realization of Brian's diagnosis. I'm really grateful that he doesn't have to go to work in the mornings.
I'm sorry Mz. I understand how exhausting it can be. I hope tonight is better for you.
Last night was Isaac's rank advancement testing in Karate. His instructors are a married couple. The Mr. put it in Isaac's head that he might advance to orange belt; I was sure it wouldn't be this time -- and it wasn't. He messed up on two steps of his basic kata. He advanced from 2nd degree yellow to 4th degree yellow. He was disapointed. He does not handle disappointment well, so I imagine this morning was carryover from last night.

I used to take swimming classes, and I had something similar happen to me. It usually took more than one "semester" to advance to the next ranking class. I was a straight A student, so "failing" so much was hard on me. In school, I was also the youngest in my class, but in my last swimming class I was the oldest (after which I decided I didn't want to take the classes any more [it's not like I couldn't swim at that point, I'd just never compete, which I wasn't interested in anyway]). But I don't remember being grumpy about it at the time, but I'm sure I probably was.
Just got up, I must have slept pretty soundly because we had some massive storms that came through and I didn't hear a thing. Looking at the radar when I first got up though I could see they had indeed passed shortly before I woke.
Now I shall partake in some lunch, then some exercise and then we'll see where the day takes me after that.
Broken sleep last night. Isaac woke up in a negative mood... I could hardly wait to get to work! 
I'm sorry Mz. I understand how exhausting it can be. I hope tonight is better for you.
