Monday Moans

MandahGirly

Well today just got a whole lot better. I decided to take a cool bath with some Epsom salt because everything was hurting. When I was done I went into the office where DH was and was not comfortable at all and immediately started crying and then proceeded to run to the bathroom to throw up. I haven't puked since like week 24. But when I cry I start to feel gaggy and I guess with my already upset stomach it was just too much. I'm surprised that I didn't pop a blood vessel. How many more weeks?!!?!

@mom4liak it irks the shit out of me when people respond that dramatically to a pregnancy complaint. A simple gripe does NOT equate to not deserving your children. Some people really just need a swift kick to the crotch. Ugh!

It also sounds like a Facebook friend purge is in order. I am so over people being assholes.

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 . . .

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 talked to one of the nurses and she said I can get the shot as late as while in the hospital delivering my baby. I honestly can't remember my last booster, but I'm pretty sure if was in the last 5 years or so, because between a trip to Kenya and starting a job that required me to make sure all my immunizations were up to date, I think I got the booster.

My husnaf's pointed out something else that makes me wonder - he said he doesn't remember me having to worry about this when DS was born. I can't remember if I got a booster when I was pregnant with him or not.

Regardless, it was nice to find out this wasn't something I have to take care of TODAY or have it be too late.

Fan-fucking-tastic. I'm sure this only reinforced to her the idea that she's right and we're meanies.

The ironic thing is she is the nasty mean one. I've been scared of her for weeks and too afraid to comment on anything after she sent me a really nasty message because I referred her to another thread on the same topic when she asked a question.

My MM is more just a little rant that doesn't deserve it's own thread- We, hubby and I, have a friend who is more his friend and just an acquaintance to me but I was trying to make friends with so we could all hang out. She recently got married and dude's a condescending prick. I straight up can't stand him. I asked a totally simple innocent question and he answered me like I was the biggest freaking idiot. He's been rude to my hubby, and he's crude in a way that even I as a career vulgar sailor mouthed heathen can't hang with. I feel like a jerk but I have no desire to talk to this gal anymore cause her husband is such a freaking tool. So yeah, me no likey condescending pricks.

New MM for me: 

My dad lives in Georgia, I'm in Missouri. He and I don't have the closest relationship. He also tends to get grumpy/whiny when he feels slighted or feels like his kids aren't calling or texting him often enough. Generally I hear these whines via my mother who tends to talk to him more frequently than I do (they've been divorced for two decades but are amicable). 

The latest one? Apparently he was whining that he didn't get a shower invite?! WTF?? My two best friends are throwing me a small-ish shower. It will be friends and family, because my (female) family literally consists of my mom, my aunt, my two sisters-in-law, and my aunt-in-law. If we had a family shower, it would be a very, very tiny gathering. 

So I'm confused and annoyed for two reasons:

A. I didn't invite anyone from out of state. It's a 1-2 hour event on a Saturday morning in the middle of the school year. No need for people to fly across the country for that. I thought about having an invite sent to his girlfriend, but I didn't want to look gift grabby, because obviously she's not going to hop on a plane to attend. Maybe I should have sent it anyway? 

B. There are no men invited. My husband isn't coming. The hosts' husbands aren't coming. My brother-in-law is not coming. My uncle is not coming. No men. WTF did he expect? 

Did I breech etiquette here or something? Was I supposed to send my semi-estranged, 900-mile-away father a shower invitation, persuading him to fly here and be the only man in attendance? Annoyed.

Speaking about body issues... yesterday was my shower so in preparation I went and bought a new dress, I had my make-up done, curled my hair, even bought some new shoes and jewelry. Well my grandmother, who's probably my favorite person in the whole world mind you, kept telling me how big I looked the entire duration of the shower, and how it must be twins and how there's no way I'm making it to October! Seriously every time we spoke yesterday it was a topic of our conversation and I'm sure there were plenty of people in ear shot. So yea, I don't know what's worse hearing it from total strangers or from someone close to you? Either way it sucks

I find the accusations of "cliques" and "mean girls" on our board to be baffling. One of the reasons I love O15 is that there are no cliques!

The posters who are popular one here are so because they share good advice and awesome gifs. I really don't understand the animosity of some people.

I don't think you did anything wrong at all.

Sorry adding. I just want my dog to poop, but he just wants to eat leaves and grass.

I told my hubby about the clique thing. Ummmm... We're all a bunch of strangers... We don't know each other... No one knows who's cool or drives a nice car or dresses pretty blah blah blah. We can only go off what people write. And if some people contributes more or contribute something you like, agree with or learn from, why wouldn't you support what that person had to say? Everyone here is on equal ground coming into the forum. And I've not seen anyone from our group that unnecessarily shuts anyone else down or freezes anyone out. Except that one racist chick. She got shut down. Hard. But I'm totally cool with not being accepting of bigots. So, I don't see any cliques. I really don't.

First off.. Yikes to that toy thread. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor! I'm grateful that you all jumped in for that poor girl who I thought made a valid comment.

My MM is that we went car shopping (4 different dealerships) and now I'm exhausted! We had a big weekend already with maternity photos on Friday and then we went out of town on Saturday for our baby shower and drove home yesterday. My feet feel like I walked around Disney for the whole weekend! Although I'm grateful I think we finally selected a SUV for me!

BBaires

I have a lot to take care of and can't seem to find a way out of this laaaaaaaazy day. Tomorrow I'll do stuff. After all, tomorrow is another day.

@Krysta6 I felt bad for her! It was pretty obvious what she meant! I do think some people look for stuff to jump on.

I felt bad too! And I thought she handled everything so well. I have noticed that I'm much more harsh with my words lately so I've been backing off posting because I feel so hostile! Sometimes I just need to chill before I respond!

MM # 4 (I think): the nurse practitioner told me today I should be drinking a gallon of water. That's 128 oz!! Holy smokes I know I was lacking in the water department but woah. I have no idea how I'm going to drink all that and not pee my pants come the 24th when I'm teaching all day...

It's really difficult for me to find boots that fit over my calf. I don't get it. I just want to wear cute fall maternity sweater dresses and boots but apparently you're not allowed to have chubby pregnant legs AND boots.

smlowe9311

@MamaOwl15 if I am remembering correctly our kids are the same age (2-ish) and I know I didn't get tdap with dd1. I think they MAY have offered in the hospital but definitely not when I was pregnant

Me too, @tate62610, me too! I can run, lift, walk, eat well, etc., but the moment I get pregnant, my legs become less boot-worthy for any style I have! Boo. I'll just dream about how great those outfits will look around the holidays!! It'll be soon!

Yes, my son is 2. Thanks to pregnancy brain, my memory is shot so I can't recall all the details of my pregnancy 2 years ago. This must be a recent thing with pushing it while pregnant.

DeeGreer said: Got out of the shower yesterday to notice tiny red veins all over my butt. EVERYWHERE. and my butt looks like a garbage bag filled with cottage cheese. Long gone are the days of my firm bubble booty. I cried. I told my boyfriend I didn't want to have sex because I felt nauseated. What I didn't tell him was that I feel so nauseated by my own body. Ugh. I worked my ass off to get to a good place mentally after struggling with anorexia and yesterday brought me back to a really shitty place. (

***Quote Box***

I want to send you so much love. I struggled a lot with my first pregnancy and feared a relapse into disordered eating and body image problems. I cried to DH a lot about it. It must have registered with him as the toughest part of pregnancy for me because when we started talking about our second child, he wanted to work with me on preparing mentally for the temporary body changes. It has meant so much for us to be in this together (as much as we can be without him carrying the baby). The hardest part is that he is a personal trainer and working on helping people get fit and defined bodies, so part of that sneaks into my brain once in awhile, too. Just keep your BF in the loop. Hopefully he can at least be a good support for you so you can get out of that really shitty place. The "place" you're talking about is indeed a total crap shoot. It sucks ass. If you ever need to talk or vent or process what you're feeling, I'm all ears. You are a rockstar and you're almost there!!!

ETA: word probs

My MM is that I am so tired I fell asleep at my desk (which thankfully no one saw.) And I'm pretty sure that I am getting sick again (this will be my 3rd time this pregnancy). I NEVER use to get sick! I'm pretty sure I catch every sickness a patient walks in with.

I told my mom how exhausted I've been and that I don't know if I'm going to work up until my due date like I had originally planned and she jumped all over me about how I need to work as long as I can and she worked until she popped. I felt like I was 5 not 25

I think you are perfectly fine, sounds like Dad drama. My cousin and Aunt are throwing mine and another cousin mentioned her husband and two kids might be coming to the host. Yeah, accept, I hope they don't come, this isn't a coed shower and my husband and Dad won't be there. I can't say anything because I am out of it. It sounds like your Dad is just stirring up trouble. Sorry for the family drama.

I had to have my thyroid biopsied today. Was prepared for it to be uncomfortable, but not like this. The mass on my thyroid was doubled in size in the last 6 weeks so they had to do more biopsies than expected and drain fluid from it. Of course, that means it was way more painful and now it hurts to turn my head or move my arms.

It seems like you just can't catch a break! I'm sorry to hear about everything you're going through. I hope things will get easier but until
Then, hang in there.

Yesterday evening my DH spilled ketchup on my white dress, which im hoping will come out cause that is my go-to dress right now since it actually fits. It was quite the lazy spill, it only spilled because he refused to take down the trash when it was full (which he wont allow me to do), so things have been piling up and up and up. Then ofc, when I walk past, he piles it up too damn high. So pissed. 

This morning he didnt notice the puppy peed in her crate, which she only did because he refused to take her out before bed yet also refused to let me do it.. so the poor thing slept in a urine filled crate all night until she DH went to work and she slept with me in the bed. I got up, noticed the urine, and just started bawling. I cant clean that, cause I'm both very pregnant and ill at the moment, so I told him to get his ass home to clean this and told him off big time for being so much of a zombie in the morning that he didnt even see that. I mean, what was I supposed to do? Leave it there for another 6 hours to smell up the house? Get stuck in the crate myself and vomit, while I wait for him to return home? Didnt see either as an option so now he has one less sick day. 

Minor issues? Yes, they are, for sure. But theyre still annoying as shit and I hate to end and start a day like that.

@BrooklynBroussard I knew the bunny would help! Admins cant resist shutting down bunny threads. Hope you're doing ok. I'd be willing to share the remainder of my chocolate ice cream if you want it.  >:D<

@MelMel92 Thank you for your sweet words on the other thread. And this is the only time I'm glad your bunny gif got it shut down.

Bunnies seem to be the bat signal.

I'm really sorry you were treated like a Regina George. You're not in the least. Some people just don't get your/our brand of humor, and that's not something we can control. But please know that you are appreciated and valued here. Don't let anyone discourage you.

@komorebi its ok. All I'll say is there is definitely a certain user that I will no longer acknowledge. I'm not saying other people should do the same. That is not what I'm saying. Not suggesting anything like that. Nope. Not me. But I mean if it happened... If people did do it... I wouldn't cry or anything....

Now! Let's hear some Moans or see some Gifs!

Technically it's Tuesday but I'm going to take the opportunity to moan anyway!

It's 5 am, im on trip 7 to the bathroom since 1 am. I am now perched near the microwave waiting for custard to heat up (my new super weird craving ) because I can't sleep for bathroom breaks and waking up feeling hungry.

I need to decide do I go back to bed or stay awake and clean out the closet so the builders can take it away and paint the room today

Technically it's Tuesday but I'm going to take the opportunity to moan anyway.

It's 5am I'm due in work in less than 4 hours, I've just been to bathroom trip number 7 since 1am (this is driving me insane)

Im now waiting for the microwave to heat my custard (weird new craving) because I can't sleep for feeling hungry and needing to pee.

After I've eaten the custard I need to decide do I go back to sleep and try and make work a reasonable day or do I finish clearing out the closet that needs taking out of the bedroom by the builders today.

Way to many decisions for this hour of the morning.!

I started back to work today so I didn't get to enjoy my mid-morning coffee on my patio whilst catching up with my Bumpies. I missed you and I'm so sorry to see the chariot of insanity that took off throughout the day.

In other news, I got into my classroom today to find 2 broken bookshelves and 1 broken rolly cart. I marched to my principal's office and officially threw a fit that probably screamed "I'm so in my 3rd tri, stay out of my way". But really, my things! Apparently the crew needed to move my shelves and just shoved them, even though they were full up with books, so they crashed and burst to pieces. And these sweet loves turned around and let it happen a 2nd time. Grrrrr. This is the 1st time in my 5 years of teaching that I haven't had to move classrooms so I was super pumped about having an easy time setting up, seeing as I packed up my room knowing 29w pregnant future me was going to unpack it. Woosah...

I love my job, though, and I am really excited about a new year!
