Monday Moans

Raijapatterson

My DH snores so loud that I sleep with earplugs, in the next room and I can still hear him!!! UGH! As if trying to sleep being this pregnant isn't hard enough? Then to top it off I get up every morning at 5:30 to make his lunch and breakfast. But two days ago I didn't because I was actually up half the night listening to him snore, and the other half trying to get our DD to go back to sleep. And he had the nerve to ask me why I didn't get up at 5:30??? WTF? YOU KNOW I'M PREGNANT RIGHT? YOU KNOW I DON'T SLEEP WELL, RIGHT? DO YOU WANT TO DIE? Well then I suppose maybe you should take it easy on the fat pregnant lady before she gives into her raging hormones and smothers you during you blissful, incredibly loud, slumber!
That is all

The OP of that thread seems hostile in general. I just avoid interaction with her. That was so uncalled for.

I know!  @leighann1 took some crap there at the end for no reason?  Might need an aerial toy gif assault.

My Monday moan is my Aunt was supposed to reserve the venue for my baby shower for my host two months ago... She texted her and told her it was taken for that day.. .Today. So now we have to push it to September 5th. I don't know why she didn't reserve it when she was told. Now I'm gonna be huge and miserable around lots of friends. (

Wtf baby toy thread? Also, I love the irony that the person accusing @BrooklynBroussard of being mean and stirring drama is consistently the one doing just that. WOMP WOMP!!!! >:/

I ran around like a madwoman after oversleeping this morning to get the kids ready for DS2's speech only to get to my car and realize that my car seats are still in the back of DH's truck after my parents had them this weekend. So cancelled speech and didn't get to go to Target.  This was pretty much me at that point

I'm spending morning in triage. I lost my plug (eww, tmi, sorry) and worked up with cramps this morning. So, they admitted me to triage. I have a UTI but the baby is not being reactive enough, so I'm still strapped to a monitor and trying to be calm. It's been a tough day and I keep hearing the word shot and my name in the same sentence, I don't do well with needles and I'm on insulin.

@elmann1 ummmm I'M gonna cry at the cuteness of that gif! 

trishee13

For my job I have to go sample water at 20 different places around the town I work in. I see the same people EVERY Monday. Well one woman today said "when are you due again?" Me: "October 11!" Her: "wow really you are HUGE for October!" Me: " wow thank you that was so nice of you" her: "well really you're much too big to be due in October"

So I sat in my work car and cried for a half hour. I hate people.

Thinking of you, girl! That is so, so awful and scary and I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Please keep us updated. Wishing you all the best.

Do you think she is actually a computer? Like, there is a terrible internal server error whenever there aren't compliments?

I really don't understand the toy threads new direction it's taking. But nonetheless I want to add to the discussion by posting this:

I just feel completely overwhelmed. Work is stressful right now. Especially because my husband no longer has a salary to contribute to our monthly income. I feel so tired and am functioning at such a low level mentally and physically that I am genuinely concerned with my ability to successfully complete this contract year, as well as get rehired for the next year. Because now that's necessary. Which also means I won't get more than 8 weeks, tops, of maternity leave.

House projects are never done, no matter how much time I spend on them on weekends. Also, my in-laws are just insane. My MIL is narcissistic and just emotionally draining. I have failed to make this pregnancy enough about her, and my husband constantly fails to validate her as the ultimate authority on our lives, so we will be paying for these sins indefinitely, apparently. 

I'm sorry for this whiny post. It's like I've all of a sudden hit this wall, and stopped functioning at my normal level. And right now I just don't have time to suck. I need to get it together. 

*Edit* In the throes of my rant, I forgot to mention the actual reason I started the post (possibly an example of my new level of functionality?). 

A few months ago, my husband agreed to let two of his childhood friends use our house as their wedding venue. They are getting married at the end of November. Originally this was going to be a 50-60 guest wedding. It's now closer to 100. And the couple is still long distance for another month, so we have been the proxy for the vendors when they come to our house (caterers, planners, etc.). Besides the chaos of a wedding 6-8 weeks PP, I am terrified of having so many strangers around my tiny baby. This of course never dawned on DH when he enthusiastically agreed to play host. So there is basically nothing I can do about it. I just have to be gracious and deal. But if DH ever agrees to something like this again without at least a run-by through me, he and our couch will have time to develop a really intimate relationship.

@CaitLewis15 you have a right to moan. I can't imagine doing all of that for a friend's wedding, but you have karmic greatness heading your way. When you feel down just pull out those maternity photos and remember how fabulous you are!

DH was off work yesterday and I had to work... He went out for dinner because he didn't want to wash the dishes. Really? Epitome of laziness. So I'm off today and get to clean the whole kitchen while he goes to work then helps a friend (who is using our basement for storage space) get moved into his new apartment.
I've also aggravated an old ankle injury, which my doctor assures me is because of swelling and loosened joints, and is totally normal. Boo.
I might eventually get some motivation to clean, but I'd rather watch TV with my doggies.

@Birdee212 @CaitLewis15 @DeeGreer Girls! I want to hug all of you! I wish we could all just go eat a shit load of pancakes and clink mocktails. I love you guys. I hope you feel better soon.

I'll join the pancakes and mock tails fest. As long as they're free. ;-) I wish I could give you all big hugs right now.

I didn't even read the baby toy thread until i saw it mentioned here because my first thought was babies don't need toys. Lol. I'm glad i didn't jump in with that one. Funny how a Vax discussion is once again tame and a toy thread is turning into a mess. Lmao.

MamaOwl15

I have a 3rd MM to add, though it sounds like a lot of you are having much worse Monday's than me.

So I still need to get the TDaP vaccine, and its not covered by my insurance. So my options are: go to the department of health tomorrow, wait for 3 hours and pay $25 I can't afford this week; get the shot here at my OB's office and pay $85; go to Walgreens and pay $63 . . . My OB's office might be able to bill me, so that might be my best bet, but still it's $85 extra dollars when money really tight (see my original MM about my electric bill).


How bad would it be if I don't get the shot? I don't want to take any chances but . . .

To all the ladies feeling blah.  Pregnancy is tough.  Hang in there.  Getting your body back is completely doable. It just may take time and work but it'll happen. 

Also, just read the "rat , toy " threads.   lmao

Rat thread had me like WTF:

@trishee13 :-O what a dick!! How I've been feeling lately I would have cried too. I'm so sorry! In my head I flipped her a bird and told her to suck it! How rude!

Ya'll. I'm so ready for pancakes and mocktails. Let's do this!

I had one four years ago and I'm not redoing it. The cacooning theory is not backed by anything solid. When was your last booster? I'm okay with getting more shots but i think the rec for that one is out of control and it seems to be like the mmr as far as not being as effective as they are telling us. And i wouldn't get it while pregnant despite the recommendation. Even when i got the booster i was unaware of the increase in risk for being an asymptomatic carrier. It's really so tough to be in the middle. I'm not anti vax but I'm very skeptical of the current recommendations. So far my kids have been super healthy. And the littlest is almost 2 so she'll be getting her vaxxes started in a couple months.

I have a second MM. Normally I'm good at handling stressful things but today I'm on the verge of a breakdown. We had a bunch of unexpected financial stuff come up since we got our positive. And right now we're playing catch up. While everything is fine, getting paid and we aren't doing without anything I'm suddenly freaking out. I almost cried on the phone paying a bill earlier and I'm just not myself. On top of that I find out that our Subway Inspector is at one of the other stores my franchisee owns so he'll most likely come to my store today. The store is fine, we'll pass all health related everything no problem. But there are a few small things my owner was supposed to fix months ago and has not so I know I'll be out of compliance yet again. It's not my fault these things aren't fixed, the inspector knows this, but my boss seems to think his bandaid fixes are magical. I'm glad I'll get the "your staff is great, customer service is up again, glad t see you've implemented this and this" comments from him but dreading the conversation my crappy boss is going to say about being on the naughty list as if I can fix it. Spend some damn money and fix things the right way. Again I know health wise these things are fine and the store is great when it comes to that. It's just the small things that corporate looks at that he hasn't fixed that are frustrating me.

Good news, it's just a UTI and no shot needed. It's been a long, stressful morning. I'm waiting at walmart on my antibiotic and then we are going home. Poor hubby had to miss work to drive me to the hospital. Thank you for your support, I'm exhausted and so worked up.

I sleep the best I've slept during my entire pregnancy (something my doctor gave me, don't worry! No martinis!) and I was so happy! Then I realized how much Bump Excellence I miss when I sleep. 

So I guess my Monday Moan is that I slept fantastically, but missed out on all you ladies. 

Oh, and what is with this "Brooklyn Clique" business? That genuinely pisses me off. I'm an adult for gawds sake. I don't have "cliques" or "clubhouses" or "tea parties". I'm all for someone who clearly hates me an unhealthy amount taking jabs at me, because I'm a goofy person who laughs a lot. It's all good. But can't you make an age appropriate snarky comment? Now I'm just so upset I pooped my diaper.

Haha, the word 'clique' is thrown around so much on TB. I feel like some people take this entire forum WAY too seriously. Lighten up nerdz, amirite?

Edit: weird formatting.

Right?! I could have posted a way snarkier gif given the level of unwarranted hostility in there. 

I will never understand people who choose hostility, anger, and defensiveness over humor and joy. Must be a miserable existence. 

But I'm just desperate for entertainment with nothing to contribute, so what do I know? 

komorebi

Well obviously a group of women can't get along and laugh at stupid things together without being mean girls or a clique! It's funny because we can disagree, debate and not devolve into throwing insults and THAT is what makes us a clique....

Sbrouwer0706

Not going to lie, I had a good laugh reading the baby toy thread. That escalated very quickly. I wrote out of a comment then decided it was probably best not to be sarcastic toward that particular poster...

Anyways, my MM is that I don't want to do anything anymore. I've officially hit that point of pregnancy where I don't want to interact with people or do anything around the house. I'm counting on nesting to kick in soon. I've been basically promised the third trimester brings productiveness yet I haven't seen a sign of it. Maybe it's as elusive as the second trimester energy? 

Today will be spent watching disney movies in yoga pants. I can't adult today.

I had a really lovely weekend... and now I am just bummed and distracted back at work. To boot, I work in a non-profit that works with education, so my email has been really quiet over the summer (horray!) and today's Monday Inbox brought back the reality that school is starting soon, and with that, crazy time for work. I am not ready for the days of 25-30 new emails at 8am! I'm starting to feel the anxiety of all that I have left to schedule and plan for my schools before I'm gone and I feel like it's gonna start to spiral soon. 

It also feels as though my belly has tripled in weight in the last week. I know I ate a serious amount of Cheese Balls last week, but holy smokes! (@DeeGreer, thanks to your post, I bought Capt'n Crunch yesterday and have eaten almost the whole box already. Delicious!)

@anorthro - You're headed to my 'hood! Let me know if you need any recommendations of restaurants or anything if you have some down time during your conference! 

Sweet!  That would be awesome.  I'm planning on going to the aquarium on the 8th and I'd love some recommendations for restaurants near the convention center in the Inner Harbor.  Feel free to spam my inbox with recommendations!
