Just putting it out there...

I need to complain somewhere, and this seems like a good place to vent.


WTF nose and sinuses, why do you have to be congested when I still can't take any good drugs?

Thank you, that is all.

Ditto. I SO need a decongestant right now. On top of that there is a nasty stomach virus gonig around right now that is literally making people think they are dieing. People are being hospitalized for the dehydration from it. And there was a confirmed case of chicken pox at daycare. I'm all over here like this [-O< hoping we don't get anything after this cold.

Me too!  My nose has been stuffy for weeks. 

Have you tried a neti pot?

I'm the opposite, my allergies are making my nose a faucet.

Mine is stuffed up, but then it drips, then I try to blow it and I can't.

Make up your mind nose.

Ooh, ooh, can I play? WTF crazy drivers. Two of you swerved out in front of me today, and I wasn't even in the freakin' farthest right hand lane!!! If you can't get your car to make a right turn within one (or in the other case two) lanes, you need to take your butt home and stay there.

TJ1979

I'll play too... WTF baby?  12 hours of contractions, then you just quit?  Come on already.

Into+the+Kitty

It IS your day, @TJ1979. Otherwise you'll have to wait until Friday.

TJ1979

I've been saying today is the day all day.  And all night.  I even dreamed that I posted that I was in labor, so y'all all knew today was the day. 
She's just a tease.

I feel like your baby didn't finish The Little Engine that Could book.

TJ, you're supposed to wait until tomorrow so you and other TJ can have your babies on the same day.  It's clearly meant to be.  I don't know why you're surprised.

Why won't my child nap for more than one hour?  Three days ago he napped for three hours.  Did  he use up all his napping at once?

Amores0121

@TJ1979 Are you trying any natural induction methods to get the contractions going again or just letting it be? FX that things get going again!

WTF back-up plan....how can you be a back up plan if you are failing? Apartments were our back up plan in case we couldn't find a place in time. 3 of the 4 options for us have no vacancy. I didn't call the 4th b/c I felt like I was destined to fail today.

WTF hamburger bun..why did you fall on the floor? Had to eat my hamburger with no bun.

TJ1979

@Amores0121 I'm willing to try just about anything... whatcha got for me?

@TJ1979 Did you try nipple stimulation with a breast pump?  

No guys, this fell on the floor at my WORK.

if we didn't eat stuff that fell on the floor around here my kids would starve to death. 

 Also, wtf self? Do you know you just took a 3 hour nap? (Yeah, I know that's not really a wtf, I just wanted to brag. 3 hours, yo. Three. Whole. Hours. I haven't had that much consecutive sleep in 6 years!)

lol

also, yay for a 3 hour nap

also, I hate you a little

DS played outside in the sprinkler for about 40 minutes yesterday and wound up sleeping for over 3 hours at nap. It was incredible! I have decided that if we have any water restrictions this summer, we will give up bathing and washing dishes so that DS can still play in the sprinkler if he'll continue to take these good naps.

@Amores0121 We have tried stimulation, but not with a pump.  I'm at work right now.  We might have to get back to the tricks tonight.  I surely thought that 12 hours of contractions would mean something.

Balls. Perhaps your labor is just "resting".  Maybe LO wants to rest up before she makes the big debut. 

ETA: I think I read you should try at least 20 minutes with the pump. Might want to goggle that one.

Didn't you see "Extreme Cheapskate's" were the family washed their dishes, their clothes, and their bodies, and eventually the dog while playing in the kiddie pool in the backyard?  You can do dishes and wash clothes and kid while he is playing and then you can both go nap for 3 hours.

it's not the good drugs, but have you tried eating local honey? I haven't for a few days, and both baby and I are congested snotty messes. Driving home from work today it dawned on me that I haven't had honey in 4 or 5 days and I normally have it daily. Could be a coincidence, but it's worth a shot.

Thank you for reminding me. I'm going to make some honey and lemon tea. That usually helps.
