Monday night spamming

Izzy0927

Hey ladies. Anyone around? I'm here, bumping and watching Season 1 Gilmore Girls on Netflix instead of schedule Junior League social media posts like I'm supposed to be doing.

HerHighness

Heya! I just ate a ton of spaghetti and im letting dd watch a little tv before bed since she has no school tomorrow. She and dh are watching Americas funniest home videos and laughing their butts off. It makes me smile

I went in late to do my GD test tonight and people were eating at the stat care. Gross.

Good news is they are inducing my sister tomorrow morning at 8am! Hopefully i can find a sitter so i can go vote and them get there around noon. Ive texted 3 people and they are all ignoring me. Booo!

lizzybean

Just watched a couple of episodes of Alpha House with the late-arriving home DH. Poor guy had to work late and couldn't read Ella her stories tonight

If you all haven't watched Alpha House on Amazon Prime, you should. It's freaking hilarious. A comedy about Republican senators. What could be more hilarious!?

@chickenonsunday I hope W sleeps better tonight. Baby colds are the absolute worst. 

Cookie0875

Hi ladies!  I'm watching the last 2 episodes of Scandal I've missed, waiting for some laundry to dry, and trying to catch up on TB posts. If you have any suggestions on anything particularly juicy, let me know! 

Jensoprano82

I'm Amazon Prime-ing The Good Wife right now while hubby works a night shift. What did women on bed rest do before the internet and Netflix and Amazon Prime? It's a good time to be alive. Still REALLY wish I could just go wander around at a Trader Joes for twenty minutes though.

crystalw88

Hey hey hey, I've put away two loads of laundry and made payday bars. This is a lot for me on a week night. Now I'm taking a bump break before going upstairs to wash the walls in baby's room.

Jensoprano82

@herhighness congrats on your new niece/nephew, how exciting!

jennjilljo

No Bueno @ChickenOnSunday‌. I hope she sleeps tonight.

misshart00

Just got DD to bed and I'm about to head there myself. It's the first evening H has been home in two weeks so I think we're going to go lay in bed and catch up on last weeks shows.

HerHighness

Oh no @ChickenOnSunday‌ i hope Willa feels better soon. My kid just got over that funk. It was a rough week.

And thanks girls... Its a nephew his name is Gerald Patrick ... GP for short. I cant wait to meet him. My sister is a November bumpie

Izzy0927

Are there any How To Get Away With Murder fans here? I used to be hardcore in Scandal, and while I still like it, I'm all about HTGAWM these days. So freaking good.

jennjilljo

I'm so tired but I'm not getting any sleep until this indigestion dies down. I'm not even sure why it's still flaring up. I haven't eaten anything since lunch and have only had a glass of water and half a Gatorade to drink. I guess tomorrow I move up to the next strongest treatment.

Congrats @HerHighness‌!

Dani_Love

Good evening! We're about to order pizza for dinner. My nephew and his kitten showed up at my door unannounced because his dad sucks and my sister is out of town so leftovers won't cut it.

I chopped my hair off today and I think I like it but it's shorter then I wanted. Hopefully I wake up tomorrow really happy I did it haha.

Hope your little feels better soon chicken! Congratulations on your nephew herhighness!

CdnFarmGirl08

I've had a rough day. Rough at school- kids were just off today. Rough at home- DS was testing every boundary. I need to find a sitter for Thursdays now bc my MIL hasn't been feeling well and he is too much for her for a whole day right now. So stressed about that.

DS is sleeping and now that's where I'm going to I think. I have so much homework for my university class and marking/report cards to do for school but just don't have the energy!

jennjilljo

@KristinMTBell‌ I get hungry indigestion first thing in the morning. I usually test whether I should eat or not by whether water makes me sick. If water doesn't make it worse I can eat, if it does I have to wait or worry about puking. I've also been battling this indigestion since lunch but I needed that jamocha milkshake from Arby's. I blame myself.

Indigestion is such a bitch. You get it when you're hungry, thirsty, eat to much, eat the wrong thing, eat to little, drink the wrong thing, are thirsty or just because you say the wrong way.

I'm really getting into it. The way they switch between flashbacks and present time is interesting.

DH and I just watched the latest episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and OMG the Home Depot bit with the actor that plays Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec was the best. I was laughing so hard.

mandamoochie

Ugh 9:45 and my DS is still up... not to mention I have a husband who apparently thinks he's getting sick. :-<

Alygohome

Am I overreacting? I'm super mad at H because I feel like I have to deal with everything. Our satilight hasn't been working for a few weeks so 2 weeks ago I made h call. The guy says our receiver is too old and we should upgrade at a cost of like 300. I said no we will find a used one since we hardly watch tv and we aren't paying 300 for something I can get for cheap. So today we get one from a friend and plug it in... Same problem. Call the company and they tell us that it's a signal problem and they will have to come out and fix their signal. In a week. I told h to tell them we wernt paying for it this month, we made them aware of the problem and all they did was try and sell us something without even troubleshooting, now we have been weeks without satilight and we are still paying. He's a fuvking pussy so he refuses to say that, now I'm all pissed off because he's such a pussy and I had to deal with everything. I don't think we should have to pay while it's not working when it's their signal issue!!! I yelled at him and he told me who cares it's only 100. But I care! I balance our bills and deal with everything and the one time I ask him to he's a total chicken shit. I hate him.

Kind of exhausted now. I worked from home today, made dinner, put M down, but when I put her in her crib somehow my nipple got pinched between my arm and her crib, and it was so painful I just lost it. I went to the bathroom and cried about everything that's been bothering me all day. 

Now I've locked myself in the bedroom and I'm bumping and watching that horrible show called Revenge. 

Love tit for watching Revenge, not the awful pain your poor nipple just suffered.

Sometimes I find it's actually worse when I haven't eaten-- maybe all the digestive juices raging? I don't know, but when I eat some crackers or toast, it can help. My heartburn and indigestion have been so bad some nights! Hope you feel better!

ETA: just saw that you basically knew all that already... So ignore my redundant post but know I do commiserate and hope it goes away soon.

mandamoochie

@crystalw88‌ - Unfortunately, it seems like that is the case. *overly exaggerated eye roll cause I'm too freaking tired to find the eye roll emoji*

My h won't even call. He'll email and not answer if they try to call him. It drives me freaking insane. I have to call and deal with every little thing. There are two bills I'm not on the account for and it's like pulling teeth to get them to deal with it when there's an issue.

For example if we switch alarm companies we can save 15 a month so I tell him to call three months ago to ask if they would price match. Guess who's still paying extra :-\

She gags on the mucus and throws up. Fun times.

Ugh @Alygohome‌ that's awful. I would probably be just as furious as you are in that situation. I've told DH to call and demand discounts for shitty service before so I can only imagine my reaction of we had zero service and we're still paying. Your anger is justified but I wouldn't blame YH too much. He doesn't deal with the money so he just doesn't get it. My H has those moments that he just can't get it too.

Urrggh that would drive me crazy!!! I finally started making h call for things this year but it's like pulling teeth! I wish I had someone to do everything for me!

Dani_Love

Ugh I told dh several times to look for coupon deals for our pizza tonight to get the pizza, cheese bread and wings. He just asked me if I had smaller bills because it's only 23 bucks, I say wow you found an awesome deal for pizza, bread and wings! "Wings? You never said you wanted wings. I just got pizza and bread."

Pizza and Bread is great but after a long day with a no nap toddler I really wanted wings and I'm being a baby about it. And it just got here so I can't call to add it.

I was doing some hospital research, and I find an OB with the name Jooby Babu. Poor guy! Hahaha.

@Alygohome‌ I don't think you're overreacting. DH is much like that. So non-confrontational. He paid $300 for a prescription the other day without blinking an eye. I had to go and return it so they could run it through our insurance (which made it $0). When it's a constant issue, I get more and more frustrated with each instance.

Omg I would've flipped! Glad they let you return it

@Alygohome‌ I feel ya, but I think it's a little bit of an overreaction. I am way more of an aggressive person and we know this - if someone in our household is going to make a complaint or deal with customer service, it will be me. I used to get frustrated when he wouldn't speak up about certain things, but I realize that's just not his personality. It sucks dealing with those companies, but think about how awesome it will feel when you get the bill waived!

My problem is I get pregnancy rage so I have been trying to pass this stuff off the h because I get too angry now . I am usually pretty level headed but I don't know if I'm just to exhausted to deal with it anymore. Last time I had to complain to sears I actually made the girl cry-- I was way to mean and then I felt bad after. So I will probably wait until I am calm then call them. It's like my paitence meter for shit is broken! I can get yelled at all day at work and not take it personal or get angry but for some reason my person crap is making me ragey! I'm thinking it's because my h left me alone for three months and during that time my washer flooded my basement twice my glass door shattered my riding lawn mower broke down my dryer quit ect so I am always dealing with something breaking! I think wine is what used to make me calm LOL oh how I miss wine.

I'm of little help. I can't breathe when the cool mist humidifier is running in her room. It makes me cough which is counterproductive when trying to get a toddler to sleep.

We are going to try a pillow (first time) to see if elevating her head will help. Did I already mention that I called the CVS and Harris Teeter if they have the Vick's Night Light?!?! Well, they don't so that sucks.


That makes sense to elevate her head. I really hope it helps! I remember when my DD had bad congestion and I actually got her to sleep in her activity rocker, which basically had her sitting up (not straight up but at an angle) to sleep. It helped her sleep instead of waking up gagging all night. This was when she was itty bitty, though, so it probably wouldn't work now that she's bigger.

Alygohome

I'm sorry to all the ladies that have to do everything! Our husbands are lucky we put to up with their crap and we all deserve a glass of wine and some chocolate.

twinklymama

I lost my shit at my 10yo daughter tonight. She has a rough time transitioning when coming back home after a weekend with her dad (no rules, no bedtimes, just fun and entertainment). She was throwing a tantrum equivalent to a non-napping toddler and I'd had it. I yelled like I've never yelled at her before. DH had to come in and remove me from the situation. It wasn't even that big of a deal before she threw herself on the floor crying about taking a shower.

We made our amends, but I have no idea where that came from. I am feeling like the worst mother ever.

@Alygohome - you're not overreacting. Ever since DD was born I've been the captain of this little family ship. I do all the finances, keep track of social commitments, deal with house stuff, dog stuff, grocery shop and meal plan, anticipate DD's needs, remember her medicines, initiate bath and bedtime, and just generally keep shit in order. Whenever I ask DH for input he says, "I don't know." I'M LOSING MY FREAKING MIND. 

So no, you're not overreacting. And a bonus gasp for the "it's only $100" comment. He'd rather keep paying for nothing than engage in a conversation.

ETA: pardon my rant

You deserve a big ol glass of wine sista! These men don't know how good they have it

Alygohome

@twinklymama don't feel bad, I was a every second weekend child and my mom had a hell of a time with me when I got home. I used to push her boundaries and limits because my father let me get away with everything. Kids need boundaries and rules it makes them feel safe. My mom and I had it out for years after I would come home but I now know she was doing the best for me and my father was the one in the wrong.

lizzybean

@Alygohome when I do finally do get DH to call about stuff like that, he has started saying to them "you don't want me to have to hand you over to my wife" when they give him a hard time about bullshit charges, bad service, etc. I HATE bad service, it is one of my biggest pet peeves. They are all better off if they deal with him.

Oh @twinklymama I am sorry that happened but PLEASE don't feel like a bad Mom. My Mom has told me many stories of confrontations just like that, that we used to have when I was about that age. You are not a bad Mom, shit happens, and she will not hate you forever, I promise! You are human, and it is good for your daughter to know that, right? Big hugs to you!!

She is in the crib so we are climbing in bed to try to get some sleep. Who knows how long this will last.

Good luck tonight! Thinking sleepy thoughts for you all!

For the future, this humidifier has worked wonders for us anytime Ella has a cold.

You guys... I just noticed a wet spot on my nipple/shirt. I've been expecting it to happen eventually but I'm kinda freaked out. This pregnancy thing is SO WEIRD.
