After reading @lisaren 's post, I got some skittles out of DS's Easter basket.
Now on to my real WTF. There is a little boy that lives up the street not in our community but near it, him and DS have become great friends. His mom is a total drug addict, I pretty much take care of him at least 4 days a week, he eats dinner here, and I always drive him home because she would just let him walk. She has 5 kids, she can't take care of any of them, has called me slurring her words so bad - and it's not from alcohol. This child blows my mind, he gets all straight A's, has wonderful manners and is a beast on the football field. So the kids needed to be picked up because they had an after school play, I get there and DS's friend asks to go with me because he didn't tell his mom. This 30 minutes AFTER he would normally get off the bus. So after the school called his step dad he gets in the car with me and proceeds to tell me that his mom is "away". I immediately think oh good rehab, but then he says that she "didn't show up for court" so she's in jail and her 5 kids from various different dads are being taken care of by a step-dad. Wtf to the whole situation. I know that it's a disease but she really needs to get her shit together. I'm ready to go to the jail and shake her. And she's probably in jail for something drug related and not "court". Poor kids. So frustrating.
WTF people who say you are pregnant for 10 months? It's 9 months. Following the logic that a pregnancy lasts 10 months means that there are 13 months in a year. I got pregnant in March, I'm due in Nov. That's 9 months, end of story.
The problem is people think that 4 weeks = 1 month....
and then there's the you're pregnant for 9 FULL months which is 10 ... haha some people like to get picky - and this is why i stick to weeks!
But really, 2 of those weeks there is no baby there, so at most you can say 9 1/2 months. The 10 months bugs me. I feel like you're milking it when you say 10 months.

That is so frustrating! Kudos for you though to stepping up and helping out the neighbor boy. He is very fortunate to have someone like you and your DS around.

WTF bladder- at what point will I be able to go longer than 2 hours without having to pee. I feel like all I do is pee. All day, all night. I just want to sleep!!!!
WTF self? Your MIL was gracious and nice enough to put her plans on hold today so she could take care of DD for you while you try and recover from your sinus infection. But all you do all freaking day is cry because you miss her.
FTR I didn't get to see her much yesterday either. I work casually when the place I used to work needs help and I was there all day yesterday and then my DH took care of DD last night because I was sick.

It is 10 lunar months, which are 4 weeks/28 days long, but it's only 9 calendar months.
ETA: When I was told this, my went "WTF? Isn't pregnancy confusing enough already?" Between conceptual/gestational ages and the bajillion different lists of stuff to do or not do, it seems silly to start talking to women in a different calendar, too.
WTF face? I have a large splotch of pink right in the middle of my forehead... I think the proper term is chloasma. Google that fun stuff. At least mine is pink (I have fair, sensitive skin) and my cheeks are usually rosy anyway so it kind of blends in. I'm not looking forward to this getting worse as time goes on... Maybe I am vain, but it looks like I might be contagious! Not to mention it's hard to hide that you're pregnant from people when you're literally wearing the "mask of pregnancy." Boo.

WTF new coworker. You've been here for 3 days, please do not start talking about how we're going to be best friends and hang out outside of work and be friends on facebook. You're 21 years old and we have nothing in common.
Also, wtf bump board setup??? I have accidentally hit the report button twice today while scrolling on my cell. People are going to think I'm nuts!
This! The app can be SO laggy that "I think" I've almost accidentally reported people. It looks like there is a second step required to say why and I always go back or close out asap hoping that it's not official without the reason...
WTF every drugstore in town?! I have checked three of them and no one has any Colace! The only one that actually stocks it is Target and they're sold out- likely from other constipated pregnant women. There's other options but I'm not really sure if I can take them.
All I want to do is have a normal poop, is that too much to ask???

We can take colace???? I didn't ever read the constipation posts because I didn't have that problem until tonight. O.M.G. This sucks.
WTF SIL. You're first reaction when DH told you I was pregnant was to announce that you were quitting your job to babysit. Now you are buying baby crap for your house without even considering that maybe you won't be our child care provider.
WTF DH. Please understand that I have nothing against your sister, but I need you to recognize that having her be our babysitter has some huge potential land mines. I would be a whole lot more comfortable with the idea if you weren't so freaking Pollyanna about it. PS, if your sister calls our baby "hers" again in my presence, don't expect me to bite my tongue. Expect me to punch her in the face.
Eta spacing, except it won't let me fix it...
Wtf doctor's office. You will only call with my Verifi results if something is abnormal? Why don't you just call when you get them in regardless? I guess after 14 days with no call I assume everything is okay??
And WTF bank. You will exchange foreign currency, but not coins? So now I have ten one-euro coins in my purse... I could really use that $13.
My doctor's office does this too! I hate it!
Wtf, my hotel room stinks like smoke and this is a nonsmoking hotel!
WTF DH you go out til 2am to play board games with your friends, wake me up by turning on the light. Then for the next few days refuse to do and chores because you are tired and exhaused, so end up doing all of them. Now I feel like shit and I didn't even get a thank you!
Also you were late for our U/S today claiming it was a slow bus, but I knew damn well you didn't plan your time well because I knew when you left and you didn't give yourself enough time.
And then you have the balls to ask me why I am so bitchy?
WTF Sudafed. I haven't been able to breathe for two months. Today I was told that I can finally take you safely. Now I can partially breathe through one side of my nose--fine, I'll take it. But why oh why do you cause INSOMNIA!
Adding another WTF that happened this evening cause it's just so not right.
WTF nipple flasher from the grocery store. I get that your a new mom (she had her LO with her), and it was 80+ degrees here today, but for the love of everything sanitary, please wear a dress that covers your nipples next time. Seriously, this broad reached over a bin in the produce department to grab something, and as I look up (I was directly across from her) her boob falls out and full on rubs across the apples she's reaching over. She proceeds to stuff herself back in as if it's completely normal to fall out in the store and rub up on some apples. No embarrassment, no looking around to see if anyone saw. Nothing. Anyway, she gets herself back in, sorta, but her dress is so low cut and ill fitting that her areoles were peeping over the top. Seriously creeped me the eff out. As if I needed another reason to wash my produce, now I have to worry about random women rubbing their nips all over the place. Gross. Just plain gross.

Re: WTF Wednesday
WTF chickens. Stay on your side if the yard and away from the blueberries.
WTF mom. Don't ask to spend time with DS and then give me ten BS reasons why you can't. I literally DONT CARE about your petty problems.
WTF self. Don't look at those cute chicks at the farm store. You don't have room for more chickens and raising chicks is a pain in the butt.
Ugh. Everything. Just everything.
