Twatwaffle Tuesday

ButterMyBiscuit

Come on, man!

It's too fucking cold for humans to go outside right now. No. Just NO! January through mid-March can kiss my ass.

Okay, pregnancy brain, I wanted to start this today but couldn't remember what Tuesday's theme was, so I gave up. Fail.

My twatwaffle; Getting called a racist/bigot when I say that standing on a freeway/bridge blocking traffic isn't an ideal way to win people to your side in a protest. I live near and work in the SF Bay Area, where the Black Lives Matter movement has been staging a lot of really disruptive and sometimes violent protests (not all of them, but there are always a few rabblerousers who smash windows or chase people). Just because I don't want to call in late to work because people are standing on the freeway (again) doesn't mean I think it's okay for cops to target minority groups.

I'm going to say pregnancy brain is the twatwaffle as well. Put my work laptop next to purse to head to work like every day. Brought purse, left laptop, didn't even notice until I sat down at my desk to get booted up. 2 hours worth of commuting later... weeeeeeeeeeee

Me. I'm a twatwaffle. Because I'm all out of fucks to give. And I feel like I'm being a turd because of it.

Yesssss. I had to put air in my tires today at lunch and my hands were about to freeze off. The winter can go fuck itself. Oh and we're supposed to get a bunch of snow here this weekend - lovely!

The twatwaffle I'm dealing with is the current Staff assigned to work on my engagement. I seriously cannot comprehend his incompetence. He's driving me bat shit crazy. Seriously. I gave him things LAST WEEK to add to the file. None of his areas is as far as I was under the impression that they were. I don't know what his deal is, but he better get his act together... and quickly. All I keep thinking to myself is, he's not going to be very happy with the review I write him. 

Ugh. I feel like such a jerk for even writing this out, but I seriously can't take him or his lack of work anymore this week. Going to be putting in 13+ hour days to make sure everything is done by the time we file.

@Nerdchild I feel you, try living in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray trials. I am avoiding anything near the court system until further notice...

Also my twatwaffle has to do with damn snow storm too, I am not prepared to sleep over night on a hospital cot being pregnant. Nor do I feel like dealing with 2+ feet of snow. Can it be spring please ?

I'll nominate myself for watching Homeland without DH. (we're trying to catch up in Season 4 right now) He travels all.the.time. for work and I just couldn't wait. I shouldn't have told him and just rewatched the damn episode with him.

@jwittwer You just described the last 4 years of my experience in public accounting. I know the feeling, and it sucks... totally twatwaffle-worthy, IMO! I bet he thinks he's doing a fine job, too. Makes those reviews all the more fun to give.

My twatwaffle is whatever thermostat that controls the temperature in my office... my nail beds are BLUE. I bit the bullet and drove to Walgreens during lunch and bought their last space heater. Take that!

These old friends of my husband and I are twatwaffles. They were the people who constantly complained about kids and how much they hated them. They would post things on facebook about how thankful they were that they never had them. Even after we had our son, this continued. Of course, they would say that he was the exception but that's just shit. We grew apart because I could not stand to hear it anymore. Like, I get it, other people's kids can be terrible, smelly creatures but can you keep that shit to yourself?
So, now, they're dating people with kids and SUDDENLY kids are these amazing little people. They actually seemed offended that they found out through our facebook announcement last night. Why would they think we would share our joy with them when they hate children SO much? Does. Not. Compute.

MotherOfDucks

My best friend's other friend and his wife. They have two toddlers. And she's expecting identical twin boys.

That'd be awesome on anyone else. But they live in 1 bdrm trailer with no bathroom on her mom's property. Neither has a job. And they're terrible parents. The kids are always disgusting... dirty and smelly. Nobody cleans house. Every time I've seen them, they've been barefoot. Apparently they don't have shoes.

It's so not fair to these kids.

The Twatwaffles are my BIL and his wife. She and I used to be friends but after years of underhanded crap (mainly, ongoing drug use by BIL that I was aware of and she was not) we had a falling out this summer. Fast-forward to now... BIL calls DH and says, "Don't tell joleri23 but me and wifey are going to have a date night away from our LO and do molly."

First of all, I do not approve of illegal drug use, especially when BIL has demonstrated a real problem for the past oh... FIFTEEN YEARS. I mean, what is her mentality? "If I can't beat him, I might as well join him?"

Second of all, why are you telling DH not to tell me? What the bleep does it matter? I don't talk to either of these people anymore. You really expect DH to keep secrets from me?

Twatwaffles.

My pregnancy dreams are a TW. I am afraid to sleep because they have been so vivid and awful.

That's awful. Is it bad to say I wouldn't hesitate to call child protective services?

This weather. I live in the South for a reason. It was so cold this morning that the padlock on the chicken run wouldn't open and my fingers went numb trying to get it open. My poor chickens were so pissed I couldn't let them out and I couldn't get to their frozen solid water until the lock thawed. 

Also, my head cold.

Hugs! This sucks.

This bump app, half the time it won't let me log on and when I am able to nothing loads properly...

My fiancé. I have not been enjoying pregnancy sex whatsoever. It just feels weird. He usually is very understanding and is great about it. But he comes home from his bachelor party and tells me last night he wants to go 7 for 7. Uh what?

TattoosandLace

My twatwaffle today is my husband.
***trigger warning***


We had to put down my dog today (the only dog that's ever been mine that I got from a shelter in college who got me thru losing my parents and moving to the middle of nowhere when I got married). She got hurt on the farm and while it was an accident, it was completely his fault.

@TattoosandLace I'm so sorry for your loss

My whole Tuesday was a twatwaffle. Due to something I cannot discuss my whole department will have to work overtime for the next two weeks and I'm feeling extremely emotional about it. I'm also feeling guilty because this is a tragedy so I need to step up but I'm so exhausted and I don't want to work 12 hour days. Lots of emotions

ETA - the thing that happened was a tragedy, not having to work more.

stillcozy

I have zero patience for people today. Mainly stupid people and my nagging husband and I've been trying to hold it together all freaking day when all I want is a glass of wine some
Fruit snacks and freakin professional
Massage but I'm stuck doing an 11 hour day doing work even when I got home eating chicken soup and none of the things I want.

And I am an anxious wreck which makes me more angry because I am the person that annoys me I know in my head this kid is okay but when the ms dropped down I feel like a crazy who is constantly wondering if everything is alright.

Someone hit me in the face and make me normal again!!!!! Agh!!!!!

@TattoosandLace I'm so sorry! That's awful.
