@eamarat I'm with you, but I'd also be extremely curious about what happened. I can't imagine what would have possessed her to up and leave her late mother's belongings. I'd have to know, even if I still could never forgive her. PS if you find out, you have to share!
@eamarat Um, NOPE! If your DH goes to have lunch with her, send him with an invoice with for the cost of storing her shit for ten months. Did she at least come get her cat?
@eamarat that is ridiculous! I would be where you stand with that. I would be beside myself with anger that she had the audacity to reach out and then want to meet up. Her story doesn't matter. Period. She screwed you over and was beyond shady.
Yes! Thank you! And bless my husband, he is so incredibly sweet and tries to see the best in people and I love that until he gets taken advantage of, which I KNOW will happen with her. I kind of want to just throw the stuff out or take it to goodwill and be like "ooops, pregnancy brain 8-} "
Ur nicer then me cause it would've all been in the trash. She obviously doesn't need it since you've had it so long and she shouldn't be treating you like her personal storage unit.
Originally we were thinking that if she ever did come to get it she could pay us back a storage fee but not sure I'd want to deal with extra shit like that.

I have a feeling she was upset for a couple of reasons. I'd been pretty peeved at her, as at the end of October she treated her best friend (a girl who DH and I quickly became close to because she's incredibly sweet) horribly and made her cry all because she was jealous that we became really good friends with this girl. So I'd seen this side of her and it didn't sit well with me. A couple of weeks prior to her leaving I was driving her school and work but wasn't feeling well (turns out I had the flu for pretty much the entirety of December) and I don't talk and am grumpy when I feel shitty. So with the October thing still in my mind and being sick, I must've come across as super bitchy.
My thoughts too because she spoke of her mother often and it seemed so weird that she would just leave her stuff like that.
It's my last day at one of my jobs today. I've been here since we opened the store 2 years ago and I may be experiencing some kind of emotion today. The four of us who started here together had all worked at another store together with a couple of years prior to this venture. Over the last two months, three of us have left for other ventures (one of us is working full time in a dental office, one just got accepted to the police academy, and I'm off to pop out a baby) leaving just the store owner here. My boss arrived with my favourite pizza for our lunch (plus an extra for me to take home for dinner tonight), and her mom just popped in to say goodbye and bring me a gift for the tiny human.
And I'm over here feeling massively ungrateful because I can't wait to get out of here today, because I had a horrible night/morning with kiddo1.0, my back is absolute agony despite the fact that I stole the best chair we have here, and I feel super uncomfortable as the centre of attention today (I am not a crier. I do not want to cry. I am going to cry). I just want to curl up in a ball. Ugh. I'm trying to put on my game face, because I am so grateful for the opportunity she gave me and the trust she placed in me since day 1 here, and I am so thankful for the treats for the tiny human. But I hurt today and the struggle is real.
I'm getting extremely frustrated with my dr office. They haven't sent over a referral to get my size and position scan. What does it take to fax something next door? It's been 2 weeks. Wtf
@eamarat Um, NOPE! If your DH goes to have lunch with her, send him with an invoice with for the cost of storing her shit for ten months. Did she at least come get her cat?
I want to but then I don't want him seeing her for any reason. I told him we could bring it back up in a few months but really, I'm not going to stay at home with our LO while he goes to hang out with someone I don't like. Fuck that.
She did. We came home one day and the cat was gone and the heat lamp left on in the other room (like reptile red bulb heat lamp) with our kitties. (A momma cat showed up and stayed with us while we were there, and had 7 kittens. The room we had them in got chilly every so often so we had a heat lamp that we used to keep them warm (supervised, of course)) It was sitting up where the kittens could reach it and knock it down and sitting next to something that was flammable. And we got home super late and I remember the lamp burned me it was so hot. The kitties and my dog were in the house with no way out if a fire had started. I think DH actually called her and chewed her out (she was still talking to us at this point). I'd never seen him so angry.
Sorry for the essay for that. I'm just now remembering some of this, which is why I'm even mentioning it.
DH and I had a little argument earlier today and he ended up raising his voice at me in front of his brother. He was here to pick me up for lunch like he does everyday but I got so mad I told him to go eat by himself. He has not called me ever since and I don't plan on going straight home after work because I'm still mad at him. I plan on being childish and go shopping while I ignore his calls. [-(
Food saga continues. I got DH to bring me an apple and caramel when he got home. But I was still hungry and I told him I only had grapes for lunch because I didn't want to stand long enough to make anything. He offered to make me something but I said I didn't know what I wanted. He asked me what baby wanted and I told him subway so now he's getting me a sandwich (even though it's already 2:40 in the afternoon). We're also doing leftovers for dinner because I just can't today.
I had grapes for lunch (that I didn't bother washing first). I'm too uncomfortable and tired to make anything or be on my feet long. I'm hoping I can convince DH to make me something when he gets home in half an hour.
I had today off and I told my DH about all the things I was going to get done today. It's now 3pm and I haven't done anything besides go visit a friend for a couple of hours. I just don't care today.
This isn't really necessarily a confession as much as a vent, sorry.
But I really dislike my OB. So first of all I have a sheet that lays out their standard "this is what we do at X week appointment." Today was strep b and cervical check if desired as well as the standard every appointment things.
So, I go in assuming that's the plan, and was especially interested in the cervix check due to the fact that she told me last time because of my contractions I would likely go early, so I wanted to know if there was any progress. I go in and the nurse tells me that they can do a cervix check next time, in two weeks and that was annoying, but not the end of the world because there's only so much that that will tell you.
Then he takes my temperature, tells me I'm running a temp, and seems slightly concerned about it. I don't feel sick, so I'm no real help as to why I might have a temperature. Then we just move on. My OB makes no mention of it when she comes in.
Like, I know neither of those things is a huge deal. But I just really feel like she doesn't care whatsoever. It seems like as long as baby has a heartbeat she considers it to be a good enough checkup. Doesn't matter what complaint I may have or issues that may come up, it's all about doing the bare minimum and getting on to the next patient.
This is our last weekend to not be parents. Everyone keeps telling us to make the most of it, and my hubby wants to, but I'm kinda eh. I'm currently sitting in bed watching SVU in my tacky leopard pajama pants and wife beater with no bra. And I'm perfectly ok doing that the rest of the night.
Edit bc my mom asked what I wanted for my "meal after" on Tuesday and I told her a tuna sandwich and tomato soup. Probably not what she was expecting, but whatevs.
Another confession- I had to bite my tongue so hard so I didn't completely flip on the lady I was on the phone with for my health insurance. I called to see about switching plans, and she talked in circles, gave me wrong information multiple times, seemed to avoid answering my questions, and then admitted she doesn't know much about insurance. If you don't know what your talking about maybe you shouldn't be "answering" questions about insurance! She completely wasted my time and wouldn't stop blabbing and kept going on every time I said thank you I'm going to think about it or talk to my husband and by the time I finally got off the phone the call center was closed so I couldn't talk to someone that actually knew what they were doing!
Just a generally horrible, horrible week all around. LO's father is yo yoing back and forth after not talking to me for months and it's messing with my already fragile sense of confidence that I can handle this. He always did know how to manipulate my feelings, from freshman year to the day he got me drunk enough to sleep with him. Confession: I feel pathetic and I just wanna curl up and cry forever. But I have to work tomorrow.
This app and all of it's annoying errors bug the shit out of me. I, too post less because it always kicks me out, or freezes and it makes me want to punch something. After throwing up this morning at 5AM for unknown reasons I have been in a hell of a mood today. My husband is currently out tasked with picking up a chimichanga smothered in queso (the size of my head) as I feel this is the only thing that can possibly help at this point.
But my FFFC for today is really that on days like today when everything sucks, I kind of just want to log onto TB and read some crazy erratic argumentative drive by or AW post that I can laugh at. The best ones are the ones I find that are already shut down by an admin so I can read the whole thing in one sitting. Oh the drama
DD has been gone yesterday and today so I took a 6 hour nap both days, scared the crap out of my bf who called 10x and texted 4x with an added fb message freaking out thinking something had happened bc I wasn't answering. I felt horrible about it when I woke up and seen but I also felt all bubbly and butterfly like at the same time to see he cares so much when he hasn't been acting much like it lately.
I never post one of these but I need to vent. I was planning to leave work early tonight so I could go wedding dress shopping with my oldest. It would have been her father(ex-h), soon to be MIL, bridesmaids, and me. I'm in absolute emotional turmoils because I couldn't make it there! It wasn't even works fault or pregnancy. I had my van taken in for new tires today and I got it back an hour after I had planned to leave. It really isn't my mechanic's fault my tires just didn't make it in until late. My daughter is very understanding and we are going tomorrow to look at dresses again. I just feel like the world's worst mother. Just mad at myself right now because it was just too many things I couldn't control. Blah
I feel I need to preface this by saying it's been a rough week with 3 hospital trips and new meds for high BP and stuff with work and just ahhhh. Okay. Justification attempted.
Sooooo I just cried watching High School Musical 2, the scene where they break up. Also it's Friday night and I'm watching the High School Musical movies...
Confession- it is a tough debate right now as to whether I go sleep in my bed with my husband, or the bed in our nursery. I have gotten really cozy a few nights in the guest bed, but I truly do miss having him by my side. Our bed has been less comfortable for pregnant me, but non pregnant me loves it. Debate for the night... comfort or close (to husband).
My FFCF is that I'm sick and tired of ALL of my Facebook friends deciding to be independent beauty consultants and inviting me to their makeup parties. No joke, there's about 7 different girls doing Facebook events or "free facials."
1. I won't join your team 2. I can't afford non-essentials right now, and if I could, I wouldn't spend it on beauty products 3. I hate the "clickbait" type posts. "oooh, ask me how I got all this free shit and how you can too."
Everything about it annoys the crap out of me. I'm totally fine with the concept of making some money on the side, but IMO friends don't ask friends to join pyramid schemes.
My FFCF is I'm secretly glad DD didn't nap today and I'm letting her sleep in my bed tonight. Back story: I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and since last weekend been having contractions. Today I had some minor light brown spotting but after calling the nurse was advised to go into L&D. DH is 5 hours away working so I had to find a baby sitter for DD and she wouldn't have her nap there. After what seemed like forever at L&D, baby was doing great, cervix is long and closed, they can feel baby's head but pretty high up and swab came back negative for risk of pre-term labour. As far as contractions, under the rule still of 6 in a hour go back in. I had a horrible migraine by the time I got home, DD was cranky and tired so we ate and I let her sleep in my bed with me at 7pm! I'm awake now and migraine is finally gone and she is snoozing away. I'm just going to let her stay in my bed tonight!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes to the make up parties!!!!!!! And it isn't even just make up. It's people asking me to join their it works team, plexus team, any damn team you can think of NO I WILL NOT.

I've noticed that a few fb friends have added me to their group (I.e. Selling page) without asking. I hadn't realised that you could do this! I'm stuck in the old days when you had to 'invite friends to join this group'
