Monday Bitchfest 3-28

What do you have to bitch about today? 

ANZ116

Maternity clothes.....if they are cute they are expensive! If they are cheap, they look it. I know it's only 9 months of my life, but I feel fat as it is.....do I really have to wear ugly clothes on top of it #firstworldpains

monkey41

Dog throwing up for past day and a half even through the night. At the vet now, but I cant tell if I'm constantly naseous because of him or if this is my first experience with morning sickness.

My house.  Last night, around 9 pm, our toilet became clogged.  H plunged it for awhile and it seemed to be cleaning up.  I went to take a shower shortly after and noticed that all the nastiness had backed up into the bathtub! I decided to take a shower upstairs and H said he would call a plumber in the morning.  As I'm in the shower, H comes running upstairs and tells me to turn the shower off because it was causing the toilet to overflow.  We called around and couldn't find a plumber that could come out last night.  Finally we found one.  They showed up at 1 am and $600 later got the job done   So I didn't get to sleep until 2 am. I'm tired.

@ShallowSeas that's the worst! Glad you managed to find a plumber so late at night, I wouldn't've guessed anyone would be available then!

I want to make a quiche for dinner but I only have whole wheat flour to use for the crust. Yuck.

I got off a 24 hour shift this am thinking I could come home and sleep...then discovered the kids don't have school today. I will max out my caffeine allowance today. 

kristah2

The guy next to me is covered in really cheap cologne and it's making me miserable. I can't take an allergy pill and my nose and throat are basically taking over. whyyyy?!

I will be missing my brother's wedding because I'll be within a couple weeks of being too pregnant to fly or drive cross-country.  My parents rented a house for two weeks to stay in over the wedding,  so since DH and I won't be going,  they asked permission to tell an aunt about my pregnancy so that they could invite her family to stay with them before they made other reservations. I was totally fine with it.... Until my 30-yr-old cousin posted on FB last night,  "OMG! I can't believe I get to be the first person  to congratulate you on your pregnancy on Facebook!"

My husband has had a tooth ache for several months now... But now we're out of town visiting my family he all of a sudden can't take the pain anymore. So I'm spending my first morning of my spring break sitting in the dentist office when I could be playing with my nephew instead!

Server is down at work. Not doing anything but can't leave and be with LO. Agh. Whyyyyy

What's with men? DH had tooth pain since December. Last month we finally had a few days together at our summer home and he had to make an emergency dentist appointment for a root canal. We were out of town and they didn't take Tricare (military insurance) and we ended up paying cash

We live on a few acres in the middle of nowhere (Texas). Somehow a skunk managed to get into our backyard early this morning. Sprayed our 3 large dogs (they are in trouble for being off duty). Sprayed the HVAC unit. Sprayed the house. Oh, and I had the kitchen window open last night. We shot it. I cried. It was cute. But the smell, my
god. THE SMELL!

Seriously, did she not ...? THINK?

I brought out my epic pregnancy pillow last night and my son fell asleep in the middle of it for his nap. Then I guess at bedtime, my husband said he couldn't wait to crawl back in the middle of it and, "maybe it would help with sleep transition...."

I SHARE EVERY MEAL, MOMENT, BATHROOM BREAK AND EVEN MY BOOBS BUT I'M NOT SHARING MY EPIC PILLOW OF AWESOMENESS AND JOY.

I just spent way more time than I'd like to admit trying to get my motherfing signature tickers to work. I was a huge bumpie during my first pregnancy and TTC, but that seems like ages ago. I feel like an old lady trying to work this new format. Not like the good old days

hollowway

My sister deciding to take off for the day and leave her 10 month old with me... knowing I need to clean the house, do school work (went back to college), do online training for work, and get ready to go to work for 2pm. Her kid is a whine ass who wants to be held 24/7 or he cries. Plus I have my own 2yo that I obviously have to take care. My sister lives here for free, I watch her kid when shes working and now shes taking off on her days off too. I'm so close to kicking her out, shes lucky she has the baby.

ETA: words are hard.

MrsDho11

I pulled a muscle vomiting last night.

beforeyou

@shallowseas oh no! what a mess! That used to happen at my parents house all the time. Never fun, sorry you guys had to go through that last night! 
@AmandaR417 Are you kidding!? Did you delete the comment right away? Did you say anything to her? I would be furious! 

My bitch today is that I slept like absolute crap last night, woke up with a horrible stomach ache and went into work to find that I only had 2 patients scheduled. Well, technically 3 but my evaluation didn't come in. So I only worked 3 hrs... really should have only been there for 2 but I stayed an extra hour because every little bit counts and I'm growing a human that is going to need me to buy things, for cripes sake. 
...although I will admit the half day is really, really nice. So, I guess it's not a total bitch. 

ShallowSeas

@peachykeen17
thanks.  It was awful. Still is awful.  We have to sanitize the whole bathroom now and buy new bathroom rugs

Yesss! Everything used to be so dang simple here.

I'm so sick of sleep issues. My dog wakes me up between 2-3am to pee every night and since getting pregnant it takes me about an hour to get back to sleep.

I've thrown up 8 times today. I just can't anymore. 

ficbot

After cancelling on me several times, my little sister finally had lunch with me. She has some possibly undiagnosed mental health issues and can be very weird with me, but I make overtures anyway because it's family. Among her complaints today were some obsessing about whether my husband likes her or not, and sharing her theory that my other sister is 'not very excited' about the baby and is 'jealous that I have someone and she doesn't.' Other people's drama can be so exhausting :-)

NordyMN89

I've been up since 2am (yay insomnia), but I did manage to do my hair and make up and pull together a decent outfit for work. The first person I see says "hey Nordy you look really tired, you ok?" Thanks for letting me know that I look as shitty as I feel. Monday can be done now and so can m/s.

pinnerk

Coming back from a vacation and the ferry is hitting every wave way too hard and making the boat rock. 
I am dreading going back to work tomorrow because I've been off 2 weeks because I was sick. 
I'm dreading going back home to reality. Vacations are fun and it hit me that we won't be doing many in the future for a few years. 

The only thing getting me thru this afternoon is knowing I have olive garden that I can eat in the bath tub and watch a movie in the bath as well. Oh and I bought a hundred dollars worth of Lush Bath Bombs.

I feel like this board has a disproportionate number of family members who don't know how to keep a secret!

My husband nonchalantly accused me of "showing already" last night. I'm 6w- half the time I'm bloated, and the other half of the time I have defined abs. Does he not fear for his life?

MrsDramaK

I went out with my little brother Friday and DH wouldn't let me tell him we're pregnant because we're not ready to tell his siblings yet.  I get that fair is fair, but we are closest to my younger brother since he introduced us, and I don't think telling him a few weeks before we tell my other 2 brothers and his brothers and sister should be such a big deal.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt

I hate that pregnancy loss is a thing, for many reasons. I hate that we can't share the news with our kids yet because we can't bear to break their hearts if things go badly. They both want a baby sibling so badly, and my oldest in particular is baby-crazy. It just sucks that pregnancy is such an imperfect, unpredictable, precarious thing.

Oh no!! That sucks! Once I broke a bunch of capillaries in my eye because I was vomiting so violently (not pg related), my eye was red and bloodshot for weeks! I hope your pulled muscle heals fast!!

whaat

I hate this guy on the train waving his hands in my face trying to get my attention, like I'm not looking at my phone with headphones in. I'm not even listening to music, but I need an extra layer of "don't talk to me." Unfortunately, some of the dumber ones don't get it.
edit: he is now whistling to get my attention. I want to punch him in the dick.

lajoliedreamer

@MrsDramaK That's ridiculous! I told my sister the day I took the test. We're really close in a way that DH and I aren't with any of our other siblings. The rest of our siblings and families won't know until at least 9 weeks when we've had our first ultrasound. I don't think it's a big deal at all to tell just one, as long as you know s/he isn't likely to spoil the surprise. (And if you have the kind of relationship where you WANT to tell them right away, odds are they're trustworthy with your secrets!)

MrsV55

I pulled a muscle in my shoulder while drying my hair today. 

Also went to the grocery store and gagged the entire time just THINKING about eating. Cleaning teeth at work tomorrow should be awesome...

honeybeewebb2424

@amandar417 I am infuriated FOR you. For their sake, I hope you're not nearly as moody as I have been lately because that would not go over well on a normal day for me. I'm dying to know how you handled it!

My Bitchfest is about myself being so bitchy. I've gotten moody during PMS before, but nothing like this. I just snap out of nowhere and then think where did that come from? And if I'm not being a cranky crab ass, I'm bawling my eyes out. I'm like an out of control toddler.
edit: spacing

lilwonder

I'm DONE with being so on edge. Every little thing in my life has me wanting to scream and/or cry! I really want to blink and have it be my 2nd tri already... and also F Mondays!

AmandaR417

@honeybeewebb2424 I was lucky that I was on my phone when I got the notification that someone had posted on my wall, so I was able to delete it before anyone saw (I hope....) I then called to let her know that I was keeping it off FB because I hadn't told anyone but immediate family. 

Today I called my grandparents because they're the people who would be most upset if the news does get to them before I do.  Obviously still not ready to announce, but at least now all the ultra-important people in my life know. 

Shawnee11507

I had a stomach virus all weekend & my 4yr old got it today. Poor thing threw up at least 6x, a lot, and has a fever

MamaBlakey

I can't stop eating crap. Muffins, peanut butter crackers and French toast. I feel like I'm 20 weeks along

aquasocks

My BF is my in laws, who expect us to always visit them with our toddler and now me pregnant, but they haven't been here in 1.5 years and if they come(???) after the baby is born, it will be over 2 years. (It takes us 12 hours to drive with our toddler, but they can make it in 10.) 

MissAmeliaPond

MIL is being ridiculously aggressive about wanting us to book flights to Florida for Disney World for February 2017... We live on the other side of the country, cannot get a direct flight, and would basically be traveling 12 hours each way with a 3 month old (assuming lil bean sticks!), and that's SO NOT HAPPENING. I refuse to tell her I'm pregnant yet, because she will tell SIL, who will tell everyone else in their family. It's not their news to share. So... DH gets to make up an excuse about why we can't book yet. I'm not telling their family until at least 10-12 weeks, so... not sure what we're going to tell her. 

mrsasolomon

My MIL watched my kids last night because DH and I had a class. I'm very thankful for her because most of the time she is a big help (sometimes she's good at making excuses though, but last night heard about the issues I'm having and offered to come over twice a week to do laundry) but she put the kids to bed and shut the door with the cat in there. After she left I opened the door to check on them to see the cat had crapped or vomited on the bed (is it bad I couldn't tell which it was in the dark, lol) and being the only one home pregnant me who isn't suppose to come in contact with cat poop had to clean it up Then I proceeded to wash my hand about 4 times. 

mlow2482

I know exactly how you feel! I'm making hot dogs tonight and all I can think about if the smell!!! I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I want nothing to do with food, Just the thought makes me gag, what "foods" can you eat? I only wants fresh fruit juices with lots of ice 
good luck
