Monday Bitchfest 8/15/16

What's pissing you off this Monday?

M&Max

Y'all I might just be the whiniest person ever right now.  We had a big family get together this weekend and my DH had to leave early for a work trip.  Sure enough, as soon as he left everyone was constantly questioning me if I wanted a drink and why I wasn't drinking.  I played it off that I was the only parent there and needed to be able to watch the 2 yr old around the water. The kicker was when my uncle flat out said "The only valid reason for you not to drink is if you have a bun in the oven...".  Well no kidding dude.  He got quite the death stare from me after that comment.  So pretty sure the whole family now knows and we haven't even been to the dr yet. So annoying!

Everyone. Honestly the answer is every single person is pissing me off. I posted an article about the childbirth rate declining on Facebook this weekend. I posted it with the comment, I guess this means I need to have lots of babies. It was just a lighthearted little post. People were commenting on it all day yesterday, taking it way to seriously. Like, it seemed I offended the world by posting that. Everyone in the universe thought that was me judging them for their reproductive choices. Ugh! I was not in the mood to defend a little post about me wanting babies. 
And also I just moved away from Milwaukee a couple of months ago and I am dealing with all sort of sh** on Facebook about the riots there. I posted something and pissed off a few friends. 

Moral of the story.... everyone hates me and I hate them back.

The dr's office is 25 minutes behind (and counting) at 9:00 in the morning. Wtf? And I have to pee!

I'm right in the middle of the flooding in Louisiana - our apartment is high and dry with no flooding, but I know multiple colleagues and friends who had to evacuate due to rising waters.  I've been off work Friday and today, which has been a godsend given the nausea, but cabin fever is reeeeeeeally setting in.  There's a large evacuation shelter very close to our complex, so parking is a nightmare and it's difficult to get out at the moment due to all the traffic.  I volunteered yesterday when the shelter was set up, and once I get over my morning queasies I'll walk over there to see if they need any help again.

Not really a "bitchfest" considering things could be so much worse - we are counting our blessings big time and are trying to give back any way we can to those who have lost. I just want life to go back to normal!!

edited because words are hard and I feel yucky!

mrsstuessy This is why I post little to nothing on social media. People have far stronger opinions through the computer.

yehprettymuch

This is how I feel right now:


Just dark and stormy for no particular reason.

I am so over social media. I've been on an unfollowing and unfriending binge. I'm really annoyed at news organizations (like Slate) that retweet the same stories over and over again.

I'm ticked at my H who always thinks he has to compete with me as to who feels worse. So if I say I'm tired he'll say "well I only slept 4 hours, or I walked all day at work yesterday etc". Ok dude, a) I need a man who will show his strength and toughness not think he's weaker than me lol and b) is your commute to work 45 min each way? - NO< are you away from home 10+ hrs Mon-Fri? - NO, ARE YOU GROWING A HUMAN AND FEELING LIKE CRAP 24/7? - NO! yeah shut the hell up!

As you can see, my irritability hasn't gone away quite yet.

Ooooh boy.  DD gave me a nasty cold, DH is traveling all week, my job won't slow down, and my parents are basically refusing to help.  I asked my mom if she could get DD tomorrow afternoon from daycare because I really don't know if I can do it, and she was hemming and hawing.  Because retired life is so hard.  She "just doesn't know" what time they will be leaving their house and if it could because she "has stuff to do." (read: get a massage, thumb through magazines).  I feel like she feels she didn't get any help from her parents or ILs when we were little, so she's not even going to try to help me. I seriously might cry at my desk.

Oooh, I was hoping someone would start something like this today. DH apparently thinks pregnancy is a cake walk. I've been exhausted from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. His answer? "I think you should go to bed and get up earlier." Yes, well, I think you need to shut your cake hole, or our child will be born in the prison system, because his will be in jail for killing his father.

Also, my coworker is being a miserable cow today for no reason whatsoever. Hello Monday.

I'm in training for a new position and another woman in the class keeps saying, "I don't know what I'm doing here" or "I can tell you right now that I'm going to do this wrong".  She isn't even trying to figure stuff out, she asks the trainer for help and this is how she responds to him.  GET OVER IT, you are an adult!  Ugh.

I ran a half marathon yesterday. DH was supportive and got up to drive me there at 6. Missed me at the finish line because he had to poop    I just wanted a  picture of me finishing.
 
Also, needed to find an OBGYN because we moved and I hadn't gotten around to it yet. Picked one after research based on location and where I decided to deliver. Waited 18 minutes on hold. They finally picked up and I had accidentally muted myself, so they hung up before I could unmute

My MIL. She is seriously driving me insane lately. Maybe it's the added hormones, but I just need some space from her!!! We had them over for dinner on Friday, and then were are a family gathering at DH's brother's place yesterday. If she had her way, she would see us every single day. It's too much!!!

She asked when she will see us (mainly DS) next. I said how about the 27th since we are going to my parents that evening anyway (and they live a few streets away). She said "Umm it's only the 14th, that's 2 weeks away". I said "Yes and we are busy all next weekend, so..." and she says "Well we will see. But I need to see him before then". I'm not here to accommodate YOUR schedule!!!!!!!

I feel ya @stm2017

My mom lives very close by and now works even closer to my house. So now she just drops in almost every day. I love my mom, but sweet lord does it have to be every single day? she usually only stays for a half hour but it's enough to disrupt everything. I only see my DD for a few hours during the week before she goes to bed. So I don't need to have to fit my mom in to listen to her complain how everything is $hit. She is also very overbearing so my DD kinda gets sick of her. Then my mom acts like a 4-yo, too and gets offended. It's great fun!

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm just so tired all the time.  I'm struggling at work right now and I got around 7 hours of sleep.  Do I need more? And this stupid one cup of coffee only thing isn't helping. 

picklesplease

@pk921 - I would try to get more sleep. It's a good idea at this point, especially if you are exhausted all of the time. I've discovered this week that, if I add an hour or two each night, I have a little bit more energy for a bit longer. Last week, I took hour-long naps after I got home from work, and then went to bed a little bit early. It helped. Also, double-check your coffee's caffeine content. You can have anywhere between 200 and 300mg of coffee a day, I believe, but you will definitely want to check with your doctor. The type of coffee you are drinking might have less than you realize.

Nope, you need to hit week 12 and get into the 2nd trimester.

I just called to schedule an appointment with my new ob and it took forever because they had me schedule 3 appointments. One to go over my health history with the MA over the phone at 6-8 weeks. One with the NP at 8-10 weeks. I finally see the OB at 10-12 weeks. Just not what I was expecting at all, I'm a little annoyed because it seems like I have all these hoops to get through.

Teacher meetings started today. That is all. 

catem07

I'm part of a pretty active young adult group in my church. One of the couples is having a baby in a month. But for the past year or so they've been pretty MIA and not very involved in our weekly get togethers and not been coming to church much at all. They've also bailed on plans with me and DH multiple times. And I'm pretty sure it's all just because of their social schedule (which is fine, they get to pick their own priorities). But someone decided they wanted to throw them a shower at church anyway (without really consulting the whole group). So now we're all responsible for this thing. A) I already went to their "real" shower (which was pretty lame) and I don't want to have to pay for any/plan of this stuff but I'm going to end up doing it. 

I really sound like a bitch here but whatever.

I am SICK of people pestering me about whether I'm pregnant!!! Our parents know and that's about it, but I feel like every girl and every couple has asked repeatedly, with one girl who is a new acquaintance at BEST is super aggressive about it... 

I WILL TELL YOU WHEN I'M EFFING READY TO TELL YOU, HOW ABOUT THAT?! 

Thank you, and happy Monday.

pk921

@Bluegal1  haha, I second that! The first couple months go so slow. My first cup of coffee went down so quick this morning I hated it.  I followed with decaf trying to psych myself out and it's only partially working. 

BluesGal10

@pk921 My boss asked me yesterday (we also hang out outside of work) how I was feeling. I said the first trimester felt like training for an infant. I feel like all I do is eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom, with bouts of nausea/heartburn in between. It's a magical time. 

clover28

@BluesGal10 I seriously feel like the first three months of having an infant are a breeze compared to the first three months of pregnancy.  I'm way more tired now than I was after I had my son.  This shiz suuuuuucks and I'm not even halfway through my first tri yet.

BluesGal10

@clover28 That's good to know! This is my first, so I'm going off what friends who have had kids have told me. 

Can I just add to this thread and say I don't understand why people who have never been pregnant have an opinion and feel the need to share their "expertise"? My coworker, who has never been pregnant, nor wanted kids (per her admission), has given me her opinion on every topic of pregnancy whether I asked for it or not. I haven't asked for any of it, but I was raised to not be mean. I'm trying to be nice, but my brain is screaming "STFU!!!"

clover28

@BluesGal10 A few years ago I was seriously that person without kids giving advice.  I remember telling one of my friends that she should just let her 10 month old cry it out at night because she was complaining about having to get up twice per night and she was tired.  Fast forward a couple years and I was still getting up with my 16 month old at least twice per night and couldn't let him cry it out if I tried.  Man, past self, you was a jerrrrk.
