Twatwaffle Tuesday

MrsKubleyMrsKubley member
in May 2016 Moms
my twatwaffle today is my right knee. Feels like I overextended a ligament in the back of it and it keeps crumpling under me. So I'm limping because of that, because of sciatica, and waddling because of PSD the fact that I'm carrying twins. 
Long story short I'm a hot mess lol. And it's making it really fun to care for 2 one and a half year olds and a 9 month old.

    My twatwaffle is the terrible intersection while I work, but if I want to be less forgiving, it's specifically these guys:
    1. The truck that almost hit me because he turned left from the far left lane into the middle lane (my lane)
    2. The SUV that honked at me and almost side swiped me because they didn't know they were in a right-turn only lane and that the middle lane splits into two lanes across the intersection - but the far right lane is NOT for them, since they are supposed to turn right.

    It's seriously the worst designed intersection, so I don't give 100% blame to confused drivers, but like 90%, so still pretty pissed.

    My twatwaffle is over-tired me from last night who decided I didn't need to take my reflux meds and still proceeded to have a HUGE bowl of ice cream in bed. Gross burps all day...yuck! I am going to kick her ass when I get home!

    @kp90 What is your plans with the poor doggie? How is he reacting to your attention?
    People are horrible!! Thank you for caring for it.

    My twatwaffle is the inconsiderate, disgusting, heartless ASSHOLE who dumped off the poor dog I found this morning and let him get in the condition he was in. I also believe he was used in fighting so that makes this person an even bigger twatwaffle. I have no tolerance for people like that and there is a special place in hell for you and every person like you!
    Dislike this. MIL rescues/fosters dogs and unfortunately sees this all of the time. It always makes me so sad and if we currently didn't have a baby on the way I would adopt one of the dogs she currently has. I've never understood how anyone could ever do that to a poor defenseless animal where all they want is your love and attention. :(

    I feel like I have become a super taster when it comes to bitter things. I usually love dark chocolate and strong black coffee, but can't handle either right now. Give me sickly sweet Hershey's milk chocolate and cream and caramel swirl in my medium iced Dunks, please! Maybe it is a biological adaptation so pregnant women avoid common poisons, which are usually bitter?

    My non stop wanting of food is my TW! I eat and am super hungry 5 minutes later. These almonds are doing nothing for me, the peanut butter isn't filling enough, and I'm staring at Swiss rolls I really want to eat but am trying to control myself until after I eat my lunch.

    I'm the TW.
    First, I managed to lose BOTH of my debit cards.  The first one I eventually found under the passenger seat in my car.  How?  Just how?  The second one I eventually found...in my wallet.  Awesome.  Second, I'm a TW because I'm having this weird pain in my belly, and I honestly can't decide if it's a normal pregnancy thing or if I should call the doctor.  I feel like I generally chalk every abnormal pain up to pregnancy.  And I don't want to call the doctor for gas.  But it hurts.  But so does everything else.

    Side note: @ruggles0909 you're right, the TDAP hurt.  And the NP told me it would, she even stressed that my arm would hurt "more so than with a flu vaccine or something similar you've had before."  I was like ok, great, you've fulfilled your obligation to warn me of the side effects.  Fast forward to the next day...and she was not kidding.

    Other side note, I just spent a few moments dancing along with @mrstmoose 's dancing robot because it looks like fun.

    I am always a super taster when it comes to bitter things, and it's the worst! Even coffee ice cream tastes so terrible and bitter to me. I like thinking of it as a biological adaptation to avoid poisons though, makes me feel like my body is smart instead of it just being super annoying all the time. Only other plus is that the dentist is always impressed by how white my teeth have stayed since I won't drink coffee/tea!

    @ruggles0909 @Aquinna82 yes the TDAP hurt!!! It didn't help that I went to a birthday/hockey/bar night that night and everyone kept squeezing that arm somehow. It was rough

    @yogahh and @Aquinna82 YES about everyone "warning" you about what's to come. Knowing that it's going to get worse doesn't make me more comfortable now! I don't always need to be thinking about how much harder it's going to be in two months. When someone's coming down with a cold people don't usually tell them, "Just wait, it's going to be SO much worse in a couple of days!" Comments about how it's going to be over at some point and there's a great reward at the end can be annoying in their own way, but definitely more welcome than rubbing my face in all the misery I'm going to experience until then.

    My twatwaffle is myself!
    i knew I needed to pack a lunch last night, but I was tired so I didn't.
    i knew I needed to turn on my alarm for this morning so I could make a lunch early in the am but I didn't.
    i knew I needed to grab my wallet so I could get a lunch at the subway near my work. But I didn't.

    My TW today is my tenants. I work full time, am pregnant, and go to law school at night. No I don't have time to stop over there and change a light bulb for you, but thanks for emailing and texting me about it. 

    @LadySamLady Sciatica gets me bad. I will be completely fine, take one step, and experience a shooting pain down my right leg and up my back. Out of nowhere.

    Who would have guessed it? My TW this week is...drum roll please...MY BOSS!!!!

    She likes to pretend that being pregnant is no big deal, even though she never has been and compares peoples kids to her dogs.

    Case in point, today I could have laid my head on my desk and slept the day away. She sees me waddling back form the bathroom and asks "Are you ok?". When I tell her I am fine, just tired, she uses her standard reply of "Hmph. You have a long way to go".

    Not an HOUR goes by when I am meeting with her and she tells me how tired SHE is. She will go on and on about how tired she is every day because her puppy crawls all over her all night so she doesn't get sleep. I guess that is akin to lugging around a growing kicking baby all day, huh?

    PUHLEEAAASSSEEEEE. I dont care woman. Suck it up. 
    OMG THIS! My 55 year old female boss never been married or has kids, compares my co workers 9 mo old LO and my pregnancy to her two old dogs EVERY chance she gets. IT DRIVES ME INSANE.

    And what is up with bosses thinking they can get away with mildly offensive comments about our pregnancies!

    We were in a staff meeting talking about upcoming jury trials and my boss asked me if I still planned on taking a couple days off in May. Your joke would be funny if I wasn't already feeling pressure from everyone at work to take a short maternity leave.  Ugh. 
    What a B!  If I were you I would have said something to the extent of "yeah, a could use a short vacation from all this work".

    Re: bosses / time off for baby... when I told my boss at the public library when I was due, she was upset because I was going to be gone for the first half of summer reading program  (our busiest time) and asked me if I had planned this.  She was kind of joking, but not really.

    They did that to me with a cube organizer deal. Let me order it online, delayed it a month, delayed it another month, then cancelled it.

    My pregnancy wasn't planned, but I definitely made a joke to DH about the timing being "better than we could have planned it" when I realized we'd be having DD in May. Summer reading is crazy out here!

    Another girl in my office just found out she's pregnant. She's 4 weeks and she had trouble conceiving so I understand her being excited and telling us all. It is not okay for her to tell every patient who walks in the door. Or to hit everyone in the office up for their old baby hear because she "can't afford to pay for a baby on this salary." Then why did you spend so much money trying to have a baby you can't afford??!! Then there's our office manager who told me I'll have to fight with the other pregnant girl to get our OB appointments figured out. Um no. I'm diabetic and high risk. She can kiss the fattest part of my ass if she thinks I'm going to switch my already set appointments for her.

    All my co workers accused me of this too- but I'll be missing ALL of it (I'm going to be out from May 13-ish until Sept. 6 due to babysitter). I totally didn't plan it, but I'm kind of excited I get to miss the craziness.

    @wsgjmw1 - When I got a puppy for the first time, I was also doing a lot of childcare and working with 4-5 year olds. Being around 4 year olds for part of the day and dealing with a brand new puppy is EXACTLY THE SAME. Not kidding. I think this is where people start making baby/dog comparisons - not realizing that infants are a totally different beast, and absolutely nothing like taking care of dogs. Also different when you're dealing with the baby/kid 24/7, rather than just interacting with them briefly. People are dumb. At my office, the guy with a newborn, the guy with a brand new puppy, and I often compete for who's the most sleep-deprived/having it the hardest, but very much tongue-in-cheek. It's very apparent that the guy with the newborn is losing his mind a little bit!

    My TW is the snore monster my otherwise amazing husband turns into the minute he falls asleep. None of the interventions he's tried (basically everything short of surgery or a CPAP) has worked at all, so I end up sleeping in the guest bedroom probably five nights a week -- and even then I can hear loud snoring THROUGH THE WALL. No idea how this is going to work when the baby is here and sleeping in our room.

    I'm here too.  I end up in my "secondary sleeping location" (which is the living room) about 1am most nights.  He recently got a ZQuiet which works REALLY well....except it makes his teeth hurt.  So that option is going out the window.  If you figure out how it's going to work with the baby in your room, please let me know because it's on my list of things to stress about!!

    I'm kind of counting on my H's snoring to act as white noise or at least blend in with actual white noise, we will definitely be getting a machine. I do think babies can adjust to noises and I figure  she's hearing him snore every night already by now so it shouldn't be too foreign, it will just be a bit louder after she's born.

    What I can't figure out is why my husband's snoring drives me absolutely bonkers but I think it's totally adorable and soothing when the dogs snore at me.

    I'll happily sleep in a giant pile of snoring mutts on the couch, but I seriously punch my husband in the head when he starts snoring too loudly (he never even wakes up because I usually punch him through the pillow and it just moves his head so he stops snoring... for 30 seconds, anyhow).

    I don't know what it is in my brain that makes this double standard happen, but I sure do wish I could convince myself that all the snoring was equally cute and easy to fall asleep to. Alas, I cannot.
