I know I'm going to have more today but so far

My cats have wooden boxes that the litter boxes go in and they are peeing outside the boxes onto the wood.
I carried them outside after vacuuming them out and letting them air out until dh gets home to help me figure out what to do

I've been waiting for a call from school about my program change (classes start tomorrow) and I fricken missed it!!! Of course I walk away for literally 1 minute and miss the call I've been waiting a week for. UGH. Now I'm stuck sitting around doing nothing and waiting for them to call me back again...and I just wanna go out and get a cheeseburger.

I go away for two days and this is how I'm feeling:

I can't even bring myself to post on half of the shit that's been posted or said.

I feel like I'm in house jail again today. Our patio addition has been dragging on for over a month, and the last 3 times somebody was supposed to come, they never showed. Of course that means I get to wait around for them in case they decide to show. Get it together people!

Also my cvs doesn't carry size 6 huggies overnights.... I don't want to have to run to target today (especially since the 30 minutes I would be gone is when the patio guy would show up and then leave since I'm not here). Ugh.

I have a toddler I don't get to see much during the week because I'm a working mom, so I spend as much time with her as I can on weekends I try to get on during naps and after she goes to bed, but I decided to take naps and go to bed early too this weekend.

My body is PISSED at me for spending so much time cleaning and painting at our new house this weekend. And instead of going to bed early like I should have last night, we went to DD's school 4th of July cook out and fireworks last night.

I feel like I've been run over by an 18 wheeler. And that it backed up and ran over me a second time for good measure.

We leave for vacation on friday and we are selling out house so I have to have everything absolutely spotless before we leave in case of a showing.  While I usually do anyway before we leave on a vacation...having zero energy and nauseousness which makes it seem even more daunting.  I wish everyone could pack for themselves so I don't have to think of literally everything.  DH cannot be trusted w/ this.  I have to do all the laundry too.  I need a personal assistant for my life! lol

I have noticed that a lot of people that b!tch about everyone else being mean on TB also don't seem to post any kind of support for anyone else. On the other hand all the "meanies" are there offering thoughts, prayers and hugs. Hmmmmm...

It's so typical of my experience on my last BMB too. If they think anything here has been mean, I don't know how they live in the real world...

Honestly people have been super patient and nice here. I was surprised people were saying they were getting "hateful" responses. I haven't seen that at all. Good thing they weren't on Dec13...

I've been surprised by how tame the board is. Outside of a couple of very mild differences of opinion, the only drama I've seen is the "why is everyone so hateful"? Comments. Maybe they read 1st Tri then come post here.

starsinnight

Oh thanks!! Google didn't help me much lol

I have my first appt tomorrow

starsinnight

Ugh why does this app cut off my long posts. No patience for this

I try to just move on when I see people being IMO unnecessarily snarky. I see the validation in some of the things you're frustrated about but I'm just not the kind of person who needs to try to set people straight every time someone does something to annoy me and since I am not employed by TB to point out rule breakers I'd rather move on and just try to stick with posting positive things. I do try to give support and hugs when people are going through a hard time as do most of the regulars despite their snark level. I think maybe the other people who are complaining about the snark probably don't want to be regulars because who wants to get b***ed at for any little random thing? This is a tame board though compared to a lot of TB boards and I appreciate that. As for how I live in the real world? I don't surround myself with people who be little me and would talk to me the way some people get spoken to on here and since I am a generally nice person to everyone I meet, strangers don't typically treat me with disrespect either. It's pretty awesome.

Every time I say I don't feel well or complain about morning sickness, my mom says, "Well it isn't as bad as last time. I swear that means you're having a girl." Every. Freaking. Time.

1. That's a silly theory that may or may not be true. Yes, I know you want me to be having a girl. Please stop mentioning it.

2. I KNOW I'm not as sick as last time. And I am grateful. But that doesn't make it any easier to deal with this now.

I don't know how to process this so I'm writing it here. My uncle (dads oldest brother- 60ish) just announced on Facebook by taking a picture of his second wife (30ish and younger than 2 of his daughters.) outside a babies r us with her standing next to the expectant moms parking sign that she is pregnant. His first wife died tragically, so if she makes him happy, that is what counts. But the pregnancy is for some reason just hitting me as weird. This child will be younger than all his grandkids. And I mean that because I think all those cousins are done having kids.
The other part of me is going, holy crap, I can barely keep up with the toddler I have and I'm 30, how is he going to do it at 60+???
Again, I'm glad he's happy, but I just can't process this. And I feel bad because the picture has been up for like an hour with no likes, but I just don't know what to say, so I'm saying nothing.

That is extremely awkward.

Omg I'd die. That's like my dad having a baby right now. Ew.


My bmw-
1. We are getting a big Reno done on our house and we are now into month 5. It was supposed to be done a month ago. I have a 15mo and haven't had a kitchen this whole time. Supposedly it'll be done within 2 weeks. It better be or I'm going crazy on people.

2. Not a bmw but in case people are like who dafuq is she, I decided to jump right in because people don't read intros and don't really care. Lol
I'm due feb 10 and have a 15mo son. What's up!

I have been very nervous about finding a OB since we recently moved out of the county. I did my research as best as possible and I called to make my first appointment this morning.
I was on hold for 25 min. and I when the receptionist picked up she asked to put me back on hold. Then she was extremely rude when she finally took my call. When I told her I thought I was about 8 weeks along she said "and you are only calling now?". I had just explained to her that we had just moved here. I'm not sure what she expected me to do. We only got our residency paperwork completed last Thursday. I am beyond frustrated right now and I am terrified if this is the shit I am going to have to put up with for the next 9 months.
Thanks for letting me rant.

I am over this nausea and food aversion crap. I'm barely able to eat now and U barely want to drink anything. I have tried ever med and none help so I am just dealing with this however I can and everyone else has to suck it up.

SO wants to kiss but he wants multiple kisses. I am nauseated and I would like to avoid throwing up on him. So yeah...I feel bad but I don't feel good at all and it is what it is.

So I'm at work, drinking a slushy and watching the NeverEnding Story.

Is there another practice you can try? I'd recommend switching sooner rather than later.

I have a family friend who did the same thing. He is in his mid-60's and its his first child. His wife has had 4 children before they married. This guy is not in good health. Everyone thinks its awkward too. They didn't hide having another baby from anyone though. They flew to another state for IVF even. Idk...I would hate to deal with that at that age but my health sucks.

Thanks. I am going to try to find another practice but will go to my appointment tomorrow. As the receptionist was so kind to emphasize I am a little behind schedule.
I am having a hard time finding helpful reviews in English (google translate only helps so much) and I don't know anyone here so I can't ask around.
I'll work at getting it sorted out. I'm just feelling discouraged at the moment and need to get over it.

I'm not sure where you moved, but you're right on schedule by most standards. Most countries are even more relaxed than the US (as in they don't see you until after first tri). Good luck!

Thanks @magnumJ
I decided to go to a walk in this morning and the doctor was very nice. She gave me a reference for a good OB. I feel a lot better about it.

@curiouskiddosmom I can understand how you feel.  I had my first child in April 2014.  My uncle and his wife just had their second child earlier this month.  (My uncle is 16 years older then my dad, and his wife is about 10 years younger then him, which makes her only like two years older then me, and younger then my brother)  So yeah, awkward.  Like my grandmother's oldest great grandshild is older then her youngest grandchild.  But you know what, once you think about it without the labels, you realize that everyone is family, and that's the most important thing.  I hope everyone finds a way to work through the weirdness of the situation.  good luck
