A little frustrated with how little progress is going on for us. Our mobile home that's going to be moved is still on a stand still, we're waiting for the landowners to clear out their lot completely before we can move it and it makes me very nervous cause we supposedly had a timeline of when it had to be moved by before it was to be demolished along with my aunt/uncle's house on the same lot their using to build a new road to our local zoo. Long story short, I don't have a nursery, no crib, no crib bedding cause I'm just gonna make my own crib skirt and mix match crib sheets, not a single thing has been finished or done except my husband is almost done with the mobile. I'm feeling so helpless right now because we don't have hardly anything and I'm praying people will buy off of our registry this weekend at my shower because we literally haven't gotten anything we need aside from a few basics. Oh and I have to finalize when I'm taking leave asap, been trying to discuss it with DH but he's no help because he just assumed we had that taken care of! Uh no, I want your input because you will be the only income while I'm out and need to know when I should resign. I just want the baby fairy to take care of everything for me...*sigh*
So my in laws offered to give me a cradle that was handmade by Dh's grandfather (he was a carpenter). It's in great condition, and I bought a new mattress for it - however it looks a little splintery on one of the railings and I mentioned that I would want to sand it and refinish it a little. Fil said he'd loved to do that for me before we take it back to our own home. This conversation took place when I was 5 months, when I visited them last weekend the crib was still sitting in their dining room- still in need of sanding and refinishing and covered in dust. At the risk of sounding ungrateful- HURRY THE FACK UP! Had I known it would take Fil this long to get a move on I would've just said ,"Oh it's perfect the way it is!" and Sanded and finished it myself. We are talking about 30 minutes worth of TLC -tops. I'm starting to wonder if they are planning on giving it to me after LO is born... but that isn't how this works people.
So, my Monday morning kid (I've talked about him before...) who wanted to switch to Thursday's, decided once again that it was "inconvenient" for him. He wanted to stick with Monday's, & he actually showed up today. Haven't seen him since Feb.29...the day of the last incident I had with him. This kid walks in absolutely reeking of smoke, & just general dirt. I'm so disgusted. He's been here 30min & I've already got a massive headache & am so nauseas. He's 17 & typically functioning...he should know how to shower. Gross! That better be the only thing I've got to deal with this morning...
My cousin's fiancée (surprise) spends a lot of time on buy/sell Facebook groups selling shit. She lives with my cousin and my uncle and is constantly convincing them they need more space and selling shit that's in their garage and pocketing the cash. I don't think she's ever sold anything that is actually hers and last year she got an earful for trying to sell my grandma's artificial Christmas tree that they were storing.
Anyway, my aunt had stuff she's letting her sell from her storage locker but she took it upon herself to post up my parent's old washer and dryer. Apparently, she had begged my mom to let them have it because they wanted to get their own place (ha) and my mom agreed because she had just gotten new ones. But no more than 2 weeks later she's trying to make money off of it!?! Nope.
I'm in the buy/sell groups too so I saw her post and I ratted her out and my mom was livid. H and I could use that washer/dryer in a few months when we move into a house and really? How sketchy and inconsiderate.
My mom was maaaaad and told her to bring the washer and dryer back and now everyone in my family is mad at me for ratting her out because she's "trying to raise money to buy baby stuff." Please. I've run out of fucks to give when it comes to this hoe. I'm no longer above being petty.
@ahernandez16 Everyone is mad at you for ratting her out because she is trying to sell other people's stuff and pocket the $$?? That's crazy! And I can't believe she did that. How disrespectful and money-grabby.
Married July 2014 DD born June 2016 Second due August 2020 (team green!)
I wanted to spend time this weekend cleaning out/organizing our office. Instead I was lazy and didn't. Now I'm mad it's not done. So basically, I'm just annoyed at myself this morning.
@ahernandez16 trying to raise money for her non-existent baby? Out of curiosity, does she look pregnant yet?
Nope. She's allegedly about 20 weeks along (with #2) and she's got the same pudge she's had since I met her. As of the last time I saw her anyway, which was on Easter.
Just got called into work early and asked to stay until close because this part time college student who is always complaining of "headaches" on Mondays called in. I'm pissed because I'm over 7 months pregnant and have yet to use any sick days, and here she's probably calling in due to a hangover. Not cool.

So we'll see......
Insane. You guys were totally within your right to take the items back. Also, it's parents' responsibility to be able to afford a child, not to rely on other people to totally provide for him.
@ahernandez16 shrug them off and keep being true to yourself. There will come a point in your families lives that they will see the light and realize how correct you are.

This is my life every weekend. I've gotten way too good at making excuses to the point I'm even taking a day off this week so I have nothing - H will be at work, S will be at daycare, I won't have to check emails at work, just focus on cleaning the house!
Soooo, my SO about a month and half ago decided he was going to save money and replace the sewer pipe underneath the house where it connects to our toilet(split level home) through the laundry room and connects to the main line. Now we had the money to pay someone but we have been attempting to pay down our debt so we can buy a bigger house. Anyways so he ripped up the old tile, concrete, and drywall. He totally rerouted and dug another trench for the piping and made the connection. Sooo there are 5 people in this house boggarding each other to use the bathroom. One is a 3 year old and another is a pregnant lady who constantly needs to pee!!! OMG if he does not get my toilet installed soon I am soo going to just pee on his pillow.
Another one...nosy dogone coworker! It drives me up the wall when she constantly asks me, when's your next appointment, do you feel this? I mean if I wanted her to know every little freakin detail of my life I'd tell her. it makes me soo mad when she does this! Or its just my pregnancy rage/Monday rage kicking in...
I got asked on Friday half an hr before the work day ended if I would take over supervision of a project for 3 weeks while the guy running is out. It starts today and I'm trying to catch up on the several MONTHS worth of meetings to be able to figure out all the details. Who preps their replacement half an hour before they leave for 3 weeks?! And also, wtf are they going to do when I leave? We're moving cross country while I'm out on mat leave, so I'm not coming back. I'm flattered you think I can handle it, but don't set me up for failure!
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
@ahernandez16 she is dumb. I can't wait to see how the mysterious pregnancy pans out.
I'm just annoyed today at everything. Doctors office is running at least 30 minutes behind schedule (rare for them) and there are cute kids in the waiting room but I don't even feel like listening to them talk. I want to shut my eyes and meditate and not hear the same thing repeated over and over and over again. I don't want to go to work, I don't want to give the effort this week and I just want to lay around and wallow for a week.
I don't have any big drama today but I'm just gonna go full Garfield and say I hate Mondaaaaaaaaaaays. I have no issues getting lots of work done on the weekend but something about Monday just makes my brain shut down and revolt. My daughter doesn't go to daycare until Tuesday and I feel bad ignoring her to sit at my computer. And I had a terrible sleep last night for no apparent reason, just seemed to lie awake all night, and now I'm exhausted. Can't bring myself to face my email now and deal with whatever clients are looking for today...blaaaargh
Another rant about "Stan." For those of you that remember my previous post about Stan.....here's another rant. So ever since MIL came up to go to the shower a couple weeks ago and my H explained that if Stan is coming up then they need to stay at a hotel, Stan has been calling us once a week, just to "chat". It's SO awkward in the 10 years H and I have been together this man has NEVER called either one of us and now he's calling all the time. He's trying really hard to suck up to us or something, but it's not going to work. You're staying a hotel and coming over for an hour a day, no if's, and's or but's about it. He also keeps talking about the things he wants to do with us while he's here....he wants to go to the flea market, the meat market, and wants to go fishing. Ummmm dude.....we're not leaving the F'n house we're going to be a little busy with a NEWBORN. If you want to do those things with your wife when you're not with us, have at it...but in no way shape or form are we going anywhere. Also, several times when H has spoken to his Mom, she has asked about us finding a hotel for them to stay at. You're a big girl, you can go online and find a hotel for yourself. I'm pretty sure she's trying to make H feel bad about the cost and get him to offer to pay for it. No.....that's not how it works. Plus, she now has it in her head they're going to take a train from FL to MD so that it's easier on Stan because the drive is too much for him. So she had H looking up costs of train tickets for rooms with a bed so Stan can lay down. The cost for one person is twice as much as a plane ticket...wtf....just get a plane ticket, but she thinks it'll be too much to fly last minute. We've told her before we want to be home a couple days before she comes, but she has it in her head that she's leaving to come as soon as I go into labor to be there while we're still in the hospital or when we first get home. UGH! I'm sooo over this!!!! I'm trying to be considerate of H because he wants his Mom to meet our little guy asap because my parents get to...but my parents are 20 minutes away. It's a different scenario, they can stay for 15 minutes then just go home and entertain themselves, they won't be all up our butt's and over staying their welcome.
My DH just got an account statement from USAA and they royally fucked us. At the beginning of the year, they had a "special" with 3 convenience checks. No APR until October, no transaction fees on the three, as long as the checks were posted by February 15 of this year. We used one to pay off 2 credit cards, another to deal with landscaping the front yard and the last we didn't use. The statement said that neither check posted until feb 20th, and we can't find the papers that prove otherwise, so now we have to pay the transaction fees AND the apr on both checks. It wouldn't be an issue, except for the fact that because half the time we don't get a paper bill from them we now have a late fee on top of that! Thanks USAA for the GREAT way to start the week!! H is already stressing out hardcore about other crap, and there's nothing I can do besides feel bad I haven't had a "big girl job" in almost 2 years with solid hours and normal pay, and my coaching and dress making income covered literally just the basics (my student loan, Amex credit card, half the car payment and gas). But now I'm not coaching, and I'll be on a break from dresses once I get these next few done.
I know it's just a bump in the road, and I know there are people who aren't as fortunate so I shouldn't be complaining. So I apologize. I just hate having financial things pop up at the last minute
I'm bitching that I was up at 4am again this morning... for 2.5 hours, so now I'm just tired & cranky at work.
Also to one of the women at work who decided to tell me that I'm "Definitely having a girl because you're carrying weight all over instead of just your belly". Lady - did you just call me fat? I can't even.
I had a salad for lunch and brought some pre-cooked frozen chicken strips to put in it. You know when certain chicken has that disgusting taste? Well, my chicken had it today and I couldn't eat 1/2 my salad. I HATE salads at the best of times, so this was just like a big leafy slap in the face. F-U salads!
Oldest DD turns 15 tomorrow. H picked her up from school early to take her downtown for the opening day home game and street festival for our local baseball team. Meanwhile, I'm stuck at work with zero baseball game snacks.
My dog. H is away for a 4.5 day guys trip to Vegas until tomorrow night. My dog spent the entire freaking weekend refusing to sit on the couch with me, opting instead to sit where he had a clear view of the front door to wait for H to come home while quietly bitching. Sorry dude, nothing I can do and you bitching is just making me mad.
I'm mainly just mad at myself because I didn't buy any good snacks at he grocery store yesterday...
Also, sorry to all you guys who have legitimate issues today while I'm just a fatass feeling sorry for myself
This is a legitimate concern, lady. I realized H and I didn't really buy any snacks when we grocery shopped on Thursday. It was a really long weekend for me. I feel you.
@sdLindenberg have you tried calling them yet? I find USAA's call center to be very helpful. I've never used them for credit stuff before though.
Yup!! I spent about an hour on the phone (half of that on hold...) this morning before getting irritated and giving the phone to H. Insurance-wise, they're amazing! Money-wise, they need to go back to school and learn proper grammar and wording for their mailers. The paper spelling out the terms even backed US up, but that's not how they are making it work.
Everything is working out, it just sucks that it had to all unfold on a Monday because Monday's already don't suck enough as it is, right? Lol.
I spent all misting helping in my sins preschool classroom, and while I was gone dh let dd nap in the car, so now she won't take her regular nap and I NEED this kid to sleep. Pluss, while we were out of town last weekend SIL finished the last of my secret ice cream I hid in the back of the freezer, so now I have no sweet treat to sneak on long days like today.

I went to the grocery store over the weekend while in limbo waiting for my glucose test results, so I was afraid to buy anything delicious that I wouldn't be able to eat if I failed it. Now my kitchen is full of vegetables and sadness.
I'm just feeling so bitchy right now!! I'm so uncomfortable, can't sleep and so unmotivated to be at work. In the last two weeks, this pregnancy is definitely wearing on me! This weekend I was so frustrated because there is so much to do to get ready for the babies but I'm physically unable to do a lot of it! I'm lucky because I have a desk job but even with that, I feel like 40 hour weeks are getting to be harder and harder. Like most of the ladies on this board, I don't have paid maternity leave other than my sick and vacation, so taking a lot of time off before the babies get here will cost us so much money and not really in the cards unless absolutely necessary!!! So I just have to suck it up and bitch here!
Plus, all three of my appointments this morning didn't show!!
Totally on a roll here..went to subway for lunch and went thru their drive thru thinking oh it'll be much faster than waiting in line inside..wrong! I kept having to say Hello every single time I tried to order cause they weren't even paying attention to my order. Then I kept having to repeat myself multiple times that yes I wanted cheese for the 3rd dagum time on my sub and when I get to the window they ask me again if I wanted cheese! I just told you 3 times I did! Oh and they hand me my sub only to forget the 2 cookies I ordered with it! I about lost it and cried right then and there. Had to knock on the stupid window to get their attention that they forgot my cookies! Never again will I go to their drive thru if they're not even going to bother getting the food done in a fast and efficient manner!
We went to a childbirth class on Saturday. It was all day, so while it was helpful, it was just a long day. There were a few questionable couples in the class, but there was one that took the cake. They both had older children through previous marriages (so why they were in a childbirth education class was beyond me), but the guy was insanely obnoxious! He regularly made disgusted sounds anytime anything even remotely graphic was mentioned or shown (hello, it's a BIRTH class, you're going to hear about painful things) and then as we went on our L&D tour, which I was really looking forward to, he asked repeatedly if he could bring a beer into the ward, if he could have the epidural instead, and if he could not be present because it was gross... and his SO laughed like a hyena at every comment! He was also wearing a shirt with swear words on it. While I have nothing against swearing, it amazes me that you would think it's appropriate to visit a section of the hospital with children in it while wearing a vulgar shirt. My H was livid by the end of it. It was just not a good start to the weekend. Add to that the dumb cashier at Petsmart who pretty much degraded his employee in front of all of the customers and my stupid co-workers who apparently lack basic computer skills and I have officially lost faith in humanity.

Isn't it time for her to MOVE OUT ALREADY?!?
Yeah! I thought she had an April 1st deadline? Unless that was just wishful thinking for you on my part and I totally made that up.
I have another bitch for today- sleep. I forgot how exhausting the third tri is. It's not that whole "building a baby" thing now...it's the fact that I'm awake every 48 minutes to shift or pee. It's prepping me for the NB stage again, right?
Re: Monday Bitchfest 4/11
