Twatwaffle Tuesday

mtmama2

Who is the Twatwaffle in your life today? Let's hear it!

RatParade

It's me.  I washed all our jeans last night, and even though I go through all our pockets first I somehow didn't find my PNV I had stuck in my pocket that morning.  I don't know if you've ever had a multivitamin in your wash, but it is the worst.  It smelled so bad, I thought our washing machine had broke.  And all our jeans had smeared brown stuff on them.  I had to wash them all again twice (at midnight) just to get the smell out.  Sorry California drought.

Hmm my temp. I wanted it to spike a little higher! It is playing games with me.

RatParade Ugh that sounds like a nightmare. My PNV smells terrible already. I couldn't image opening up the gel and getting it all over my clothes. Hope it came out of everything alright.

My TW is my body. I hate getting all of these mixed signals. If I'm going to get AF, just let me get AF. Quit it with the spotting. It's been 3 days and its annoying.

@RatParade I swear the smell of my PNV is the worst thing ever!  I tricked DH & my mom into smelling the bottle last weekend because they didn't believe me...they believe me now haha  I can't imagine trying to get that out of clothes and the machine!  Time to bust out the bleach!

ETA: I forgot to add my own TW- ALLERGIES!  My allergies have been awful the last couple weeks and have gotten so bad that I have HIVES UNDER MY EYELIDS!  I didn't even know that was a thing!  There are these little bumps under my top lids and they rub on my contacts if I try to wear them so I have to wear glasses and do eye drops 6 times a day. I take an allergy pill every damn day and I have been getting allergy desensitization shots for about 8 years, what gives?!

Uh, DH and his mom. And maybe a little bit of me. DH mom Skyped last night with us (she lives in Germany, us in the USA). She was making plans to come down for his NP graduation ceremony in May and asked if there would be a baby for her to help with. She very well knows our struggles and losses. She knows we are trying. So what the hell, MIL?!? She kept saying we are her only hope for her to be a grandma since SIL HATES children and is trying to get her tubes tied (and struggling, she's only 22 and docs don't wanna do it). After we got off the computer with her I started crying and DH comforted me for a bit and I told him it's BS she is trying to pressure us. Andplusalso I am just an emotional wreck these days, so everything makes me. So DH says, "You've cried more in the last 6 months than all the time before that and before we were married all combined! If I had known you were such a big crybaby..." He didn't finish that sentence. I am pretty sure he was just trying to make me laugh in his awkward, uncomfortable way, but come on, DH. Not the time to make a joke about me crying so much.

Oh, and also BFF, who is complaining about having to miss an hour of work and get home a tad late because she is having her first prenatal appointment tomorrow at 8 weeks. Ugh. Thanks, friend. I'd give up nearly everything to be in your position. But cool. Keep complaining.

A woman at work is being a twatwaffle today. I won't tell the story because it's long and boring, but the short version is her job was replaced by a computer, so she's occupying a seat until she retires in less than a year and no one has the balls to tell her she has no idea what she's doing in her current, pointless role and take the job away from her. Today her crap work is directly affecting me, so I'm pissed.

@KristoB DH also tells me (jokingly) I'm a crybaby every month when I get a BFN or AF. I know its just his way of coping with the situation, but it still hurts a bit.

Neikoda

@KristoBKirstinH88 You both are much better than I would be. If DH made a comment about me being too emotional about this process, he might get hit. But I'm a baby about all of that stuff.

KirstinH88

@nwegman7878 @KristoBHe's told me I was a crybaby even before TTC, so I'm kind of used to it. HAHA And he definitely gets it tenfold when he is complaining about ANYTHING.

My TW today is my cousin...to sum it up my cousin called me early this morning (like 4am) to ask for $500, I told her no, so now she has turned half of my family against me. They want me to feel bad that she is in a bad situation (one that she put herself in BTW with drug use) and give her my hard earned money to flush down the drain. DH has already said HELL NO...and the only people I have that see things my way are my mother, grandmother, and DH. The rest of my family is pretty much calling me a selfish b*tch. I'm just like WHATEVER!! I have bills to pay and a family to provide for. They think just because my DH and I own our own business we are just swimming in money, when it's the opposite every spare dollar we get we put into the business to help it grow. Mind you yes the business is doing great but we are saving up to buy a house, for this baby we pray to have, and college funds for my 2 oldest. So nah I ain't got no money to give to a druggie....

Sorry that dragged out for a bit but I had to get it off my chest and you ladies always have the most encouraging words and open hearts! 

Neikoda

jnalexander2 Good for you. Honestly, I lent $300 to someone I was really close with. He was involved in drugs prior and was trying to get clean and focus on going to college. I never saw that money again and he appears to have disappeared off of the face of the planet. Good call. Don't let your family pressure you. Your cousin is not your responsibility regardless of how much money you make.

thj101

@jnalexander2 ditto to what @nwegman7878 said.  If you give to her, you'll never see the money again.  My dad went through the same issue with his brother, twice!  And after the 2nd time, he said nope, never again to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th time he asked him for money.  It's tough, but it kinda has to be done.

Dilynne

@jnalexander2 Amen.  My mantra has always been don't lend money you can't afford to lose and with your business, planning for a house and a baby you can't really afford to lose any! I'm on your side buddy.

jazzymommy90

@nwegman7878 and @thj101 the sad thing is they are trying to throw in my face how much they "think" we make...her brother was like "yall make a million dollars every year what's $500 to your cousin. I'm like no the COMPANY makes a million dollars not us! Honestly I have just turned my phone off because it got that bad. But i refuse to let anyone ruin my Tuesday...DH said he has a surprise for me when I get off work lol.

@Dilynne thanks to you and all the ladies for your support now I know I'm doing the right thing!

Same - I would throw an emotional hissy fit.

My TW today is another division of my organization who got to go on a chartered fishing trip today (sponsored privately) because they met their goals.  Just like my division did.

My friend is a TW.  I'm in her wedding at the end of August and my dress just came in.   I remember it being very clingy when I tried it on, but it seems like it's even worse now.  This dress is not flattering on me at all. Actually, if I was a celebrity, I would make the worst dress list for how AWFUL the entire thing looks on me.   It's the wrong fabric for my body type, the wrong neckline and the wrong shape!  I seriously look like a sausage in this thing.  It's not even a weight issue as much as the dress is not flattering for my overall figure.  I just can't right now........

LittleChick2

@MrsFL2015 I feel your pain! I just ordered a bridesmaid dress that I've never seen in person let alone tried on... super nervous to try it on when it comes in later this week. From the photos it looks like it's really going to accentuate how much weight I've gained, yippee.

FX you can get it altered to fit a little better and make you more comfortable!

Well apparently I suck at posting today but FWIW you are absolutely doing the right thing @jnalexander2!  I know doing the right thing doesn't always feel the best, but it will be better for both of you in the long run.  Even if you were "swimming in money" giving it to someone who is going to flush it down the drain with drug use isn't going to help her.  Sorry you're stuck in this difficult position!
