Re: Tuesday randoms
I even got the silent ugly cry over a text I wrote to my dad telling him how I am going to miss him over the holidays since we are spending it with my in laws.
Then don't even get my started on Christmas movies...
I recommend Netflix. I just got through American horror story season 3. Not bad!
My H is already giving me a hard time about food too. He refuses to do research (because I am better at it) but when I tell him what I have read, he accuses me of holding back information from him. I never have before. He is very insecure - he always has been and it's a trait most of his family has. We got into an argument about eating dairy because I said I have to look at the carbs and can't eat it until after noon(medication issue). He said there is no way that's true and keeps trying to give me yogurt for breakfast. He even bought me a big dessert - because, he said, the dr said I should cut back on bagels and juice but didn't say anything about desserts (maybe because I don't usually eat them????) - and then got mad when I said I would have rather had a bagel and didn't eat the dessert. He is not a stupid guy - but when he gets scared all common sense goes out of the door. He is sucking the life out of me right now...
@almeyer2013 I'm so with you on the wacky emotions lately. Yesterday at work, someone put "Let It Go" on the jukebox (that Frozen song) and I literally lost it. Full on soap opera cries.
@Skrittens good luck with your test tomorrow! Mine is next Monday and I'm worried I'll fail too
Today I get to go shopping for the company Christmas party tomorrow. Buying raffle prizes and decorations. I am dreading the shopping, but it sure is nice that it will be on the company credit card and not mine!
Wishing you all a fun Tuesday!
So dang tired. I'm so sick of waking up at 4 A.M. to get ready for work. I also miss a full night's rest.
However, the furniture will be delivered today, and for that I get to leave work early! Also on the upswing, I had a guy notice at work today that I'm in fact pregnant and not fat. That's a nice change.
Good luck to everyone today with tests, surgery, and illness. Take care and try to enjoy the day ladies.
For SuzyQ & all the March 15 Loss Moms
@jennypm you've got a lot on your shoulders, and I can only imagine how difficult it is when your SO isn't there to support you. Just breathe and know that it will all work itself out somehow. Also, have you considered a tutor for your kid for the class she doesn't like? I *hated* math as a child. My parents found me a great tutor who made math fun. Ended up getting a degree in accounting as an adult. Sometimes it just takes the right educator.
@RQuinlin hope u get to feeling better
So my random is a story that happend to me yeaterday. The family and i went to Outback to eat. Well we was getting ready to leave aNd setting behind ous was this old man and his wife. But this man looked exactly like Santa. I didnt even think anything about, but then my 2 year old daughter sees him and starts yelling SANTA! SANTA! She trys to run up to him and keeps yelling at him santa..i was Sooo embarrassed. So i told my husband to just take her out to the truck and i would get the other kids. When i get out to the truck, my daughters eyes was glowing and she was sp excited to see santa..(even if itwas him in her eyes). so i told her and my 4 year old that it was santa but he wasnt wearing his clothes and hat because he wanted to eat his steak in peace. that way he could hurry back to the north pole in time to deliver the presents. I hope i dodnt do a bad thing in telling them that. but hey, wats a mom suppost to do?
What is especially bad is that last night DH was out with friends and texted me something about his evil genius plan working because I'd be asleep when he got home. So of course I had a hard time falling and staying asleep because I am dying of curiosity.
If he was just talking out of his butt, I'm going to kills him.
Hope everyone has a good day and good appts!
@Chunkymonkeylvr Thinking of your Mom today during her surgery!
@Peledreamsofrain I too have entered the no sleeping part of pregnancy. Everyone says that it's nature's way of preparing us for a newborn. Knowing this doesn't help at 3 am.
I might be feeling tired, but LO is feeling quite chipper this morning, judging by the kicks and punches I've been getting this morning.
Short rant: In the workplace, there is nothing more maddening than having a task you desperately need to complete depend entirely on a person in another department who doesn't give a shit one way or another.
Maybe this is something that only happens in the vast bureaucracy of a university, I dunno. But I was thisclose to grabbing a torch and pitchfork and storming someone's office yesterday. Thanks to her unfathomable incompetence my marketing campaign's been delayed by 10 days.
AND SHE WILL SUFFER NO CONSEQUENCES. It just makes ME look bad. ARGH!!!!!
Good morning, everyone. Just wanted to say hope everyone has a great day and thanks for all the nice bday wishes yesterday.
@Peledreamsofrain I miss sleep, too. Finally passed out at 1 am last night after binge watching Homeland. Then I had dreams of Homeland and been up since 4. Work is going to blow today!

Ah, gotcha. I am phobic of needles, but I can usually be an adult about it (most nurses have no idea when they give me shots). But when they had to give me steroids for a back injury, I almost passed out from legit life or death fear, despite taking two xanex prior. The idea that I could lose the ability to walk in an instant was so horrible and terrifying. Worse that I was passively allowing it.
I think it's best for all involved if I tell the delivery team to not bring up an epi unless I ask. Stroking out or fleeing is probably not conducive to delivery
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE Its NOT A REAl NAME'!!!!
I will say that they did not check me before they gave me the epidural and I was already at a 9. So it didn't really kick in and work and I was already pushing my son out. I got up and walked right after giving birth so I didn't get to enjoy any of the benefits of the epi and guess what??? I still got a $1500 charge for that epidural in the mail.
This next time, I will have them check me before and go without one if I am that far dilated. That $1500 charge for something that I didn't even get to enjoy the benefits of still makes me mad.
@skrittens your H needs to do some of his own research if he is going to act so dense. Sorry you're dealing with that BS.
I've only read the first page and don't even recall everyone to respond to!
I called Friday for my GD test results and were told they were in but the doctor hadn't signed them and I would get a call Monday. No call yesterday and no call yet today, so I'm hoping I'm in the clear...I might call to double check later.
Graco Click Connect Jogging System with the Click Connect 35 seat is $179.99 on Amazon lightening deals!
It cost $195 with tax.
And as for the epidural. I almost died because of it when i was having my first son. Then it didnt even work with my daughter. @-)
@jennypm, I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed but it's with good reason. I'm sorry your DD lied about her homework, but you did the right thing in giving her consequences. If you didn't make a big deal about it, she'd just think it's okay to do it again. You're a great mom. Hang in there.
I'm supposed to go shopping tonight since I couldn't go last night. The upside is I get to go alone and will have time to look for clothes for me, the downside is it's raining and I anticipate the mall will be crazy.
MC: 2/19/14
So i have been MIA for the past few days. Not for any reason just one of those times i just didn't feel like getting on here lol. But anyway so let's see i hit the third trimester on Sunday! Yay that's super exciting...sorta lol oh i did my hospital tour and it was a good tour i suppose but there were some issues. They only offer the tour on Sundays at 430 which for us that time makes it literally impossible for SO and i to both go cuz either he is working or i am. So i decided to go with my mom. Now there were 2 other couples there as well and i guess that the nurse doing the tour just assumed that since i was there with my mom that baby daddy was out of the picture or something cuz she would make these little comments about "dad this" or "dad needs to do that" and then just look at me and say "oh i mean or whoever if dad isn't there for whatever reason" i mean what like does no one else bring their mom? Whatever and then the part that irked me the most was OK when like you walk through the security doors into the L&D unit you either take an immediate left or an immediate right. Left is where pretty much everything is, all the rooms and nurses station and tub room and everything and then to the right is to the NICU. Now nobody is ever thrilled about their child being in the NICU but because of the medication that i am on we are very well aware and have accepted the fact that our daughter will be spending some time there. We are totally fine with it. its just something we have known from the beginning that will have to happen for precautionary reasons. Despite being fine with it i know that when the time comes it will probably be pretty hard cuz she will most likely have to be taken almost immediately which will Def cut into our initial bonding and visiting time and what not but were dealing with it and are just trying to remember that it will only be for a short amount of time and then she can come home. So anyway when we walked through those doors the nurse explained that the NICU was to the right and "hopefully none of you have to have babies in there because it's just the most tragic terrible thing" and then pretty much just continued on for a while about how horrible it would be to have to come in and go to the right and that hopefully everyone can just have to go to the left and on and on. Now being someone who knows that their child will be there, i was really really starting to get upset and just wanted her to stop and move on with the tour. I know she didn't mean any harm by it but i just wished she would have practiced better judgement and realized that there are people out there who already know that their child will be in the NICU. She could have just said "NICU is to the right, now let's go look at everything to the left" and that would have been just as effective considering the NICU was not part of the tour. I think that it upset me so much because most babies who need to be in NICU are there for one reason or another that had nothing to do with the parent. my reason does have to do with me and it made me feel like shit after she talked about how horrible it was for babies to be in there. I'm over it and im just trying to move on. We meet with the neonatologist there in a few weeks which should hopefully answer a lot of questions we have and help put our mind at ease that she will in fact be OK (at least that is what my OB said will happen lol) Anyway sorry about the long post i just had to get that out.
On this note, and I don't want to be a Debbie downer with more bad news, but I got word from my mom that my grandfathers health is declining rapidly. He has been in with hospice since October, so we knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. I just hope he goes without pain or suffering, and I am so thankful he is resting at home.
