Monday Bitchfest?

BPer

I have things to bitch about.

My 4-day-old iPhone 6 is shitting the bed.  It started just randomly popping up with an error that read "No SIM card installed", and then once I turned it off and back on, it would work.  Well last night in the MOTN, the SIM error came up again, and I could not get it to clear.  I had to pull the SIM card out and wipe it off and such.  It's brand freaking new.

My hands are covered in blisters from painting for 10 hours straight yesterday.

We have to be out of our house at the very latest October 31st, and I've packed next to nothing. Oh and the new house isn't ready.

Ben is having some sort of sleep regression, and I am fucking tired.  He also woke up in the MOTN with a ton of green goop on his left eye, pretty much sealing it shut.  From the glow of the nightlight, it looked like part of his eyeball just disappeared, and I was tired enough to believe it did.

I want to know why it's my job to do all the meal planning/grocery shopping/prep for supper every damn night of the week.

DH had one job this morning. Take the chicken out of the freezer. Failed. GREAT.

I'm hitting the gym after work so we'll already be getting home later than normal and now I'm annoyed because I don't want to have to worry about defrosting chicken so we're not eating supper at 8pm. GAH!

Although I know if I let him cook, we'd be eating hamburger helper, eggs or pb&j every night.

I just want to bitch that the weekend freaking flew by. Like I blinked and it was Sunday evening.

We had family pictures this weekend (with my whole family) and it turned out great except DS wanted no part of it. Thank god our photog is a saint. For our pictures she had to do a leg, head and arm swap on one photo for it to turn out. She's amazing and way too patient, ha! But she does have 4 kids so...

DH has been OOT since Saturday, DD1 was up until after midnight the last two nights begging daddy to say good night. I feel terrible for her.

That's awful. Maya used to be like that. Even now, when DH is going away, I make him sit her down and explain it to her before he goes because she won't take my word for it once he's gone. It's easier once they're old enough to stop, listen and understand. It's hard when they're little.

Since we're bitching...

I'm so over the illnesses.  DH had strep throat a couple weeks ago and now I have bronchitis.  Between the two of us, we haven't been at full-force for weeks.  Our house looks like crap and I have zero energy to deal with it.

And now I'm paranoid that our kid's coughs are going to turn into bronchitis as well.  So far it's the kids that are the healthiest in the house!

Boo @kelbel527‌ I hope you all feel better.

DH has had at least 7 straight hours of sleep for the past 5 days. I get up with Lennon because he's really annoying when he's tired. But that dumb bitch just threw a temper tantrum because I made him take the older kids to school today. HE'S TIRED!!!! He apparently wanted me to stop nursing the baby, get dressed and take her with me so he could go back to sleep. Motherfucker, I will cut you.

Sidenote: Lennon is the sweetest baby in the world and I'm obsessed with her.

My bitch of the day:I'm at work. Blah. FFMC: At DC this a.m. a car pulled in next to me and a man got out to take his kid inside. The bumper sticker on the back read "Don't worry, I'm not as think as you drunk I am." Drunk driving=not funny. I judged.

Not flame worthy.  I would judge that as well.  It's one thing to have something like that on a t-shirt.  But implying drunk driving isn't funny.

We had a really good weekend, except we go to turn the heat on at night b/c it starting to drop into the 40's / 50's at night and the damn thing wont turn on!   So the house was cold all weekend.  The funny thing is its supposed to be 80 here on Wed. I guess we wont need heat after all....

I am leaving work early to wait for the repair man to come between 3 and 5 today. I hope this is a relatively inexpensive fix!

That's exactly what I thought. I drink. I've been drunk. I don't judge that. In the car though? No. Especially when you're a parent.

You should start making him get up in the middle of the night.    

Luckily for me, almost all our other friends had both parents getting up in the middle of the night (which worked for them), but for me it was just easier for me to get up.  DH realized how lucky he was and never complained about being tired.

Oh, and I had a friend's husband complain this weekend that he has it bad because his sleep is "interrupted" when he wakes for a couple minutes when his wife is up with the baby.  "It's not really sleeping through the night." I almost punched him for her.  Men.

My DH used to say that. I was like, feel free to roll your ass out of bed then, if you're so awake.

Luckily for DH, he realized he had been a twat and came back with coffee and a blueberry scone. Now I will let him live.

I really hate being called ma'am.  I know it's polite, but darnit I don't feel old enough for that.

Seriously, it's so upsetting.

I am home with L today. DCP needs off Wednesday for a funeral. We just got back from vacation and I go on STD 10/27. DH assumed I was going to stay home with L on Wednesday with no discussion. Umm...asshole, I am needed a little more at work right now. I need to teach people things only I know in the next 2 weeks and you want me to take more time off? 

I was so pissed at him I had to walk away until I was calm enough to actually discuss the arrangements for Wednesday. We are splitting the day at work, which is fine. 

Flamingemu

Since i am home with L and it is rainy and gross, I decided to take L to the local children's museum. It was underwhelming. 

L was a saint around all those kids. But, man. I am not cut out to be a SAHM. The parenting styles of some of the kids was atrocious. I had to distract L to play away from one little boy who kept screaming every time she played near him. Then the mom had the audacity to ask L to give a toy to her son because he wanted it. I just told her no and we took the toy elsewhere. 

There were shitty diapers and misbehaving children everywhere. OMG.

I hate when the boys are with H. I always feel like I need to take advantage and get tons of stuff done, and then I get all worked up when I don't get it all done. I also found out that H started drinking again. I haven't confronted him about it yet. His parents bought him a house, and are furnishing it for him too. I'm a very large ball of hate right now.

Holly_1007

Also. The boys and I all have colds. Sore throats, sinus pressure, runny noses etc. my teeth are Killing me. I'm trying to figure out if it is a sinus infection or a cavity. Ouch.

starrysmile18

@Holly_1007 Sinus infection. My molars were KILLING me back in July when I had a sinus infection. I even called the dentist, to see if I should come in. They were all..."You've got a sinus infection, don't bother coming in, it'll go away!" LOL. Hope that makes you feel a little better?!

It does, and it doesn't. Although I guess the doctors is cheaper than the dentist so that is a bonus going to make an apt with my doctor! Thanks!

I made my husband leave camping a day early because Zeke was sleeping like crap and I was exhausted. But mostly it was because I didn't want to miss the Walking Dead. I have zero regrets and slept like a baby last night :-D

Have you gotten your cough checked out @willy_gert?  Mine was bad and I went in thinking it was nothing and I found out I have bronchitis.  I didn't realize how much I was struggling to breathe until they gave me something to help open up my lungs.  

Still coughing a lot though...but my lungs hurt a little bit less.

Kissty

Why oh why won't my kid sleep? It took until 18 mos. for him to STTN consistently. He hit 2 and decided that shit was for the birds. So very tired.

I've actually been twice.  The doctor said I had bronchitis and an ear infection.  He only gave an antibiotic.  I went back again after I finished 5 days of the antibiotic still coughing and with pain from swollen lymph nodes.  All he gave me was pain pills and told me to wait it out.  We take Luci to the doc for an ears follow up next week.  If I am still coughing I will talk to him again then.

Ugh, that sounds miserable.    I did read that coughing can last 4 weeks after getting bronchitis, I'm not thrilled about that.  I'm only on week 2.  

Hope you're feeling better soon!!

I just walked out of the grocery store crying without any food. Keagan is SO bad after weekends with his dad. SO freaking bad.

Oh no!! Could you have him come home sunday mornings? That way he can have most of the day Sunday to get back into his normal schedule.

Oh Holly, I am so sorry!  Just give him some time to adjust.  He is young and you are doing the right thing!

Holly_1007

He doesn't stay overnight with him. Just spends the day Saturday and the day Sunday. And every Monday we fight all day.

And he won't stop picking his nose and eating boogers. Vom.

I'd like to tell you that gets better, but it's our number 1 problem with Maya and she's 3 1/2.

I'm sorry Holly. I know that must be so hard.

I forgot to bring James' seabands for our road trip. I thought he would be fine since we were not going into the mountains so I decided not to stop and try to find some. I was wrong. He puked; it was so gross. Luckily, we were only 30 minutes from home. Otherwise, I probably would have stopped and bought a new car seat.

Ethan is giving us such a hard time. He's definitely been through a lot of changes lately, especially with two moves in under 6 weeks.
He's regressing as well-He's crawling, asking for baby spoons, saying things are "too big" for him and overall just being really tough. I feel so bad for him, but I feel bad for us (H and I) as well. I'm worried about how he's going to adjust to a baby.

Well it's technically Tuesday, seeing how it's 234am....... But briar, who usually gets up at 4 for her MOTN feeding decided 11 would be good tonight (and I'm still expecting 4am as well). Jasper has been making noise since midnight, and started screaming at 2. I came in to check in him and his space heater had been reset--it was 92 degrees in his room! He was dripping sweat and had soaked his diaper, and was bawling saying he was sooo hungry. So, we are eating pb&j's at 230.... Can't wait for the next 3 weeks where he thinks this is the norm!

did you just turn around?! Knock on wood, I've never had to deal with that, but I would probably buy a new one too. Yuck. And poor James!
