WTF stomach?!? I've been eating constantly since 6:30 this morning. Why aren't you full yet? This will not end well when I step on the scales at my appt next week.

WTF? I can't find our bassinet anywhere in the house or garage! I can't remember if I loaned it out to someone, but I swear the last place I saw it was in the garage... I'm going to be so sad if I can't find it, it's an arms reach mini-cosleeper and it's perfect for in our bedroom. Plus I used it with both DD's. wah

WTF feet!! I Thought you were doing pretty well and not hardly swollen at all........until I put  on my fall boots that are normally pretty loose and they're TIGHT!

I was really counting on these boots to allow me to almost exclusively wear leggings until these babies come....do I really have to buy new ones now?! Booo.

WTF goes to my feet too. I wore riding boots this past weekend, and the ones I wanted to wear were TOO tight (I already have wide feet), so I had to wear my others... which were still tight for my right foot. I'd like to wear the other ones for pics, but don't know if that will happen in another week. My left foot was normal, until I shaved yesterday and noticed it had swollen out, too. Boo.

I am thinking of hitting up Clothes Mentor for some new boots in a size a tish bigger. BUT, I bought some black riding boots a few years ago in a size too big (I just HAD to have them), barely wore them as a result and now they'll be perfect. I'd prefer a brown, but they will work... and have to work.

WTF power pukes. I'm so over this pregnancy. 
My pregnancy with DD1 was misery and this pregnancy was a total miracle.. I truly thought things would be different and that I *deserved* to enjoy my last pregnancy. My only shred of hope is that I'll get the birthing experience I want... everything else is already down the crapper. Pretty literally. 

Sorry. Just having a pity party today

@Christinaruth74 can I join? My new doc that I transferred to just laughed when I said I hoped we could make 3 more weeks.

. My WTF goes to substitutes. Why is it so F-inch hard to find a good one? I had a great guy until this week. He had to return home, he was staying with his parents to help us out, and now it's day 3 with the new one. There have been: 3 parent visits, 8 more scheduled, a letter to the principal, a letter to the superintendent, and multiple student complaints in the 3 DAYS!!!!!!! He has been there. FML now I have to try and skype into the interviews for a 3rd sub.

@Kacie209 I wonder how the public would feel if i just wore muck boots for the duration?? None of my riding boots are coming near my feet for a while....

My 2yo probably has pink eye. I noticed it was developing so I started the drops (from last time) yesterday but I guess I didn't catch it soon enough. Off to the doctor this evening and hoping they say anything but pink eye so she can go to daycare tomorrow. I don't have extra leave to take and I get super jealous when DH is home and I have to work lol.

Wtf pregnancy tastebuds. Why do Milk Duds taste like chocolate covered cherries right now?! Still delicious, but not what I was looking for in a chocolate snack...

Warning *incoming total b!+€# moment*

WTF office. Why are we throwing a bridal shower for someone who got married three weeks ago who DOESNT WORK HERE ANYMORE and hasn't for a year!? No one but you two party planners even liked her! She was rotten to the rest of us. Why are we being bullied into doing this?!

Every month I get paid the 7th and the 21st. I have a budget for each pay period lined up, and it works fabulously.

This month, without warning, I started getting paid the 1st and now the 15th. The beginning of this month we have been struggling because it totally got our budget out of whack and I couldn't figure out what the hell has been going on--we had to dip into savings unexpectedly because we ran out of money in our checking, and that has never happened. We got hit with overdraft fees!

So I'm irritated that this was done without warning me, and now I'm reworking our entire budget so that doesn't happen again. I'm hoping the new cycle will work in our favor, but seriously--warn a lady first!

Last night when I finally got home (DD had gymnastics) and let the dog out, I noticed she was acting a little funny but thought maybe she was just miffed because we were gone a bit longer than usual. I get the kids to bed, turn to find the dog to play with her a bit, and realize she's not there.  I found her hiding under my DS's bed.  Odd.

We go downstairs, I notice she's acting really odd and rubbing her face all over my carpet. I pick her up (she's 10 lbs) and notice she has broken out in HIVES everywhere. Her face is red, her eyes are starting to swell a bit, she has hives and red splotches everywhere! I immediately get 1/2 of a children's benedryl and give it to her, call the vet and they said give her the other half.

So last night I got very little sleep between getting up and checking on the dog (who was sleeping beside me) and my DS who wound up coming downstairs a bunch!

WTF to my sleep and whatever caused my dog to have an allergic reaction!

She's fine today and this morning was playing around like normal. I took my lunch break and ran home to check on her and she's fine. WTF to whatever caused my fur baby to break out!

WTF boss? After saying he was going to do his portion of the audit (I already did my part) he dumps his part on me! Both parts! Seriously? On top of everything else I have to do, now I have to do your job too? Then today he tells me a project I was pulled off of I am now back on and it needs to be done by 1. I told him no way so he amended to end of day. I finished it about 30 minutes ago, but seriously I could have had it done weeks ago had he not pulled me. Ugh!

So DH took our three dogs to be groomed at 8am this morning. He was the second drop off, and yet 3:00pm rolls around and still no phone call to go pick them up. I call the groomer and it goes straight to the voice message that says, "Thank you for calling A Pet's Day Out! Due to the extreme cold and wind we will be closed Saturday the 22nd and reopen again on Tuesday." Huh? So I leave a message anyway, and then feeling over-protective and troubled, I decide to go over there. Everything's okay but they're still not done. Okay fine. So I leave and kill some time, 4:15 rolls around and still no phone call. I go back over there and without any conversation they just bring me my dogs. Whatever. Cool. 

So I still need to write them a check, but the lady hands me one of my dogs and watches me struggle as I write her a check with one arm while trying to wrangle one of my Shih-tzus with the other. Meanwhile she's telling me which of my dogs is her favorite, asking how old are they, telling me about how one likes to hump the other (believe me, I'm fully aware) etc. etc. I finally succeed in writing the check and a dude helps me carry them out to my car. As soon as we're in the car, one of them decides to poop in the back seat (thank god for leather seats) then start violently humping my other tzu. I emergency pull over to address the poop, which is already smearing across the seat and is now on my freshly cleaned dogs as well. Excellent. 

I open the door and out jumps one of my tzu's and he just takes off. Where the heck does he think he's going? So I abandon the poop nightmare and chase him down and get him back in the car where my two tzu's resume their violent humping while I frantically try to get up the poop and keep them out of it. Thank goodness I had some poop bags and napkins in the car. I bag up the poop and do the best I can with a napkin. Naturally there's no trash can so I toss the poop bag in the console and get back to driving home. All the way they're humping and my littlest has just dived over them to go in hatchback area, where I can't even see her, what she was doing back there was anyone's guess. 

All the while Eaton is squirming up a storm in my stomach (just trying to fit in with the moment I guess) and all I'm thinking about is, What if I also had the baby right now? Would he also be covered in dog poop? Would they be all over him humping each other? This can't go on. 

Now I'm at home, blessedly braless, backseat has been copiously lysol wiped, shopping dog harness seat belt clips. What a wild ride.

@Austenista All I have to say...


...is shit, I'm tired just reading that.

Pun totally intended, of course. 

princesslockness

@Austenista I'm sorry. Have you looked into finding out why/how to stop the humping?

One thing we did is we bought a craptastic 'practice' car seat that we could spray with leave alone scents. That way the dogs had a chance to get used to having the backseat invaded, and if they messed up the practice seat it was no biggie.

@Kate08Young The pooping, humping shih-tzu has an anxiety issue. I have had to have him medicated in the past with prozac. The trigger typically is a bath or getting groomed. Now that he's older, he tends to calm down after a good night's sleep. The time we medicated him it went on for a month without ceasing. 

princesslockness

@Austenista I'm so sorry. That would add to my anxiety and just make everything a huge mess. Is there anyway you could do the bath, whether at a 'walk in' groomers or at home? We found that doing the washing ourselves really helped calm our Dane down when he was over anxious.
