I have only asked for one day off in the last year and that was for trick or treating with the 4 year old as the only person in my job with a kid. We have a very loose policy and my supervisor takes off 1-3 days a month. I asked to swap a day this week for a day next week so that I wouldn't lose a 12 hour shift to have my second Saturday in a year off and my boss says no. My company has built in overtime because we are short staffed but he doesn't want it used for that so I just can't have the day.
To top t off, the only way I can get the day off is to convince someone to work a 12 hour night shift on a Saturday for me without the ability to offer them anything in return. I know that this isn't a big deal but I'm having a shit day and I was hoping to squeeze a two day weekend out of a week because my husband has that Friday off (my actual off day) and we haven't had this since we started working for this company.
Andplusalso, he was asked to work the Saturday before and given that Friday off in return. So, not unheard of. I hate my flipping job and I'm a whiny bitch today.
Ds has RSV and bronchiolitis. We have to give him a nebulizer every 4 to 6 hrs and the poor dude hates it! I feel so bad for him! Please get better soon little man!
I feel like i have barely seen my DH in weeks. I'm hating how hectic things are right now and I would just love a weekend of fun with my little family instead of running in different directions like chickens with our heads cut off.
I went to McDonald's to get a shamrock shake, and the machine was broke! Looks like I'll be finding another McDonald's in the morning! Eta- I'm a little more angry about this than I should be so I'm blaming it on baby.
My husband works for a local brewery and is working a big winter beerfest tonight. I usually go help out and drink...but instead I'm here falling asleep on the couch. Pregnancy is boring, although so worth it.
Yesterday my very out of shape client told me that she thinks I eat too much sugar, I'm going to get diabetes and this is all bad for the baby. And it's really bothering me all day today!!!! I hate unsolicited advice and opinions!!
My husband has become a tyrannosnore tonight so I'm on the couch with my snoogle and two dogs who now think the fun thing to do is wrestle over my stomach and pounce on my feet. I think it's a conspiracy to keep me from sleeping

To bad that is not how GD works. Ignorant twat client.
Something that happened earlier in the week but still made me furious. We had a short meeting after work on the 3rd floor of our school (my classroom is on the 1st) and I opted to take the elevator instead of hiking up the stairs. The other person in the elevator (who was going to the second floor, might I add) had the nerve to say, "You know, you really do need to exercise while you're pregnant." EXCUSE ME? I teach second grade, am on my feet all day, go up and down the stairs regularly, and exercise on my own time. Thanks but no thanks for the rude piece of advice.
I've officially caught whatever sicky bug my coworker came in with last week. She stayed home all week sick and came in on Thursday because we had mandatory company headshots for the website and now I have it all. Sore throat, cough, achey muscles and I sound like ive been chain smoking for 50 years.
Amen to the Screw you, and your unsolicited advice!
I went to a bridal shower this weekend for one of my husband's best friend's fiancé. We know her well enough but not her friends. We did meet a handful at the engagement party. Well one of her BF's had found out she was pregnant right before the engagement party so she's about 2 months ahead of me. We chatted for a few minutes when a friend of mine and I walked into the shower. Boy has her personality changed since getting pregnant. She almost made the whole shower a "Look at me" party. Ridiculous. Save that for your shower. As most people have said to me, she was quick to comment on how small I am compared to her. But then she pointed out she's such a petite person of course the baby has no where to go but out. So are you calling me fat? LOL Whatever, I didn't dwell. But the icing on the cake was when she started asking me what I've hated having to avoid, etc. I said I still drink half-caf coffee occasionally if I feel like it. She had the most condeceding smile and was all Wow! You can do that? Yes, yes I can. She said she tried the sweet tea she made for the shower and that was too much for her! Whatever....I reminded her that my occasional half-caf cup is well within the caffeine limits and I feel fine about it. It really annoys me so much more coming from someone who doesn't even know me!! Thank goodness she isn't someone I have to see but once more for the wedding.
My husband wouldn't let me get a hot dog at Costco since the nurse at the very first OB appointment said hot dogs were a no-no and he refuses to read the research on the safety. My first post-delivery meal is going to be a stupid Costco hot dog because he won't let me and I feel too guilty getting one behind his back.
I talked DH into getting us Costco sundae's today because fighting through the weekend crowds plus the natural old people in FL made it awful. He was going to share mine, one look out of my eyes and he got himself one too.

I'm such a fat kid that I made cupcakes today. I knew I would be tempted to eat the batter so I mixed the whole thing without the eggs, took a half coffee cup of batter, then mixed the eggs for the cupcakes. Now I have weird gas pains from eating the eggless portion. Mean batter!!
The man is a saint, this is really the only thing he's been insistent on. Meanwhile I drink coffee every morning and have been eating non-heated turkey sandwiches almost weekly. Also, to his credit he didn't order one either in support. I think I'm more mad at the OB nurse who said it than him.
@megstervt oh man I had a costco hotdog today. It was so delicious. My weekend bitch fest is about my fat fingers starting to swell and not being able to wear all my rings (I stack). I feel nekkid without them... Does anyone buy faux ring sets or is that cheesy?!
Colorado has a stupid law that doesn't allow the sale of motorized vehicles on Sundays, so we can't shop for a replacement car for the one (the only one we had) that totaled this week.
also, it's official my boobs are growing and none of my bras fit...so I'm sitting here with a bra half on waiting for my husband to come home so we can go out to dinner.....I hate bra shopping.

My husband bought me a chain so I can wear the rings as a necklace when they don't fit on my swollen fingers. I'm getting very close to needing it.
@DominiqueU I love that idea but I am terrified I will somehow lose them. I have a rather large antique stone solitaire for my engagement ring and I would be beside myself if we had to replace it. I can still fit one at a time on my ringer so at least that's something.
My cousin went out to buy a cheap engagement ring when she was pregnant because her set didn't fit anymore... the man who sold it to her said, "don't worry honey, you'll find someone someday."
@calico34 I've gone up 3 cup sizes so far. I went and bought 2 new bras a month ago and they have been good, but have now gone up another cup so will be going out again.
On the plus side, DH thinks all his Christmases have come at once.
I know I don't post all the time, but I am welcoming creepy internet stranger hugs with open arms. I left my husband today and moved into my Gramma's old house, which is right next door to my parents. I know I made the right decision, for the health and safety of myself and this baby, but knowing that still doesn't make it hurt any less. I just feel so sad and empty and lost. Why do so many of us choose to love the wrong person?
eta: I didn't want to make a whole new thread for this, and didn't know where to put it, so bitchfest it is. If I had logged on earlier this morning I probably would have written a bitchfest novel of everything leading up to today.
@jjtruffles I am so sorry to hear that. I don't know your situation but if you know in your heart you made the right decision for the safety of you and your baby then I commend you. It takes a lot of strength to do that. So many prayers and hugs for you.
@jjtruffles so many creepy internet stranger hugs. I am so sorry that you're in a position to have to make that decision, but I'm glad that you were able to leave and have a safe place to go and, hopefully, support.
@jjtruffles lots and lots of hugs! What a terrible decision to have to make but I'm glad you feel strong enough to make it (whatever the reasons are), and have a safe place to go, and people around you to support you.
@jjtruffles good for you in doing what is best for you and baby. I'm sending good juju your way! I hope your parents can help support you during all of this.
@jjtruffles I'm so sorry you're going through all this but hugs to you. You are very brave for leaving that situation. I'm glad you are safe. Sending very positive vibes your way.
@jjtruffles I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't know you, but I have so much respect for you- I can't imagine how hard that decision was for you, but you are extremely brave. Big hugs to you!
@jjtruffles lots of hugs to you and proud you made a choice that will benefit you and your baby in the long run! So sorry you are going through this though! Hang in there you have a lot of strength and courage! Feel free to reach out for support !
@jjtruffles hugs and prayers for you and I hope this becomes an easy transition for you as you realize that you did the right thing by putting you and your baby first.
@jjtruffles sooo many creepy Internet hugs your way. This was probably an incredibly difficult decision for you, and I am glad you feel like you made a good choice! I hope you are surrounded by support!
