Accidents happen too and I would just be honest and explain how difficult it was moving that sofa on your own.
Tell them that finances have been tight, there's no point painting a picture of telling them you'll get this, that and the other when priorities like food, bills and rent must come first. Not forgetting your boy.
Say you'll do what you can for now and as for carpets and furniture it might be worth contacting the salvation army because they pick up loads of stuff for free. Once they know you are in need they will support you.
As for the anger, well, it happens and it's mainly you that suffers from that. Turn that anger into energy and walk it off or strip another wall.
