Time to dish!

I'm getting really tired of doing other people's problem solving for them. I don't care that it's busy season. You chose to delay doing this project (par for the course) and now you want my help digging through your lack of recordkeeping less than 6 weeks before my due date? You must be taking crazy pills.

I've started playing dumb and will no longer have any idea how to do what they're supposed to. Magheeta, OUT.

I'm so tired of my job. I've been doing the same thing for four years, and my (most of the time) awesome boss left at the end of September. The new one is uninspiring. I'm planning on leaving in the middle of July, but I wish it could be sooner. I got coffee with my old boss yesterday and it made me sad.

@catem07 Will you just not go back after maternity leave?

catem07

@KirstinH88 No, I have to go back or I'll have to pay back health insurance costs. We could go on DH's insurance but mine is better and there's a big event we do at the beginning of July that I would feel like a jerk for leaving before. I'm not planning on staying home FT; we are planning on a move this summer. So mid-July is more hopeful than a real firm plan...But we're moving near my ILs so as long as one of us gets a job we can swing it financially for a bit (by living with them) while the other keeps looking.

My mom, who refused to go to the doctor despite not feeling well for a while, who babysat DS this past weekend and kept blowing on and passing a whistle back and forth with him (full of slobber), which I have asked her not to do a thousand times, just texted me to let me know that she has PNEUMONIA. Like. Seriously?! DS already has respiratory issues because of a chest deformity. This is the LAST thing we need to deal with. If either of us get sick I'm going to rage (which I suppose is my confession, haha). Ugh, I'm so pissed at her right now.

I repainted our entire hallway today at almost 34 weeks. Because of course our daughter is going to care what color it is lol. I'm not telling my DH until he gets home bc he's gonna be a little grouchy but he was taking too long lol

@Taylor72, I am seriously probably going to paint  the ONE wall in our nursery myself this weekend as DH has been putting it off for months. It is one blue wall with the other 3 being tan that originally was DS's room and we decided to just paint it tan before babe arrives. He was supposed to paint it before CHRISTMAS (originally was going to over Thanksgiving break...). I just want it done so I can move on with finishing stuff in that room. She won't be using it right away so I know that's why he is procrastinating but I just want to have it done before she comes or I know we never will.

I'm considering swapping bedrooms for the kids. This would be a giant PITA for DH and he'll think I'm crazy for considering it now. Damn these nesting hormones!

My confession is I'm really mad at DH today for having student loans.  It did and does make sense for him to take them out and he has a good career to show for it, but I'm just pissy that it's basically paying a second mortgage.  He would feel so guilty if I ever said this to him so I'm going to vent it to you all.

I am just in hell today and I hate everyone. DH works at his normal job and has his last day of his working interview today. So, he will be gone from 7am-10:30pm, stopping at home between jobs just long enough to disrupt everything and annoy me for an hour. I feel nauseous. SIL is a f****** slob who can't f****** pick up after herself any better than my 3 year old. I am sick of cleaning up after what seems like 3 children (DD1, SIL and my nephew) for the last 9 months. DD1's voice is like nails on a chalkboard today and I want to throw my whiney 1 year old nephew out the f****** window and then give his mother a parenting class. And this is will be my life until I f****** die. Seriously, the thought of finally being in our own apartment taking care of a newborn and a 3 year old sounds like an all inclusive resort compared to the life of slavery and depression I have been living since I can remember. 
SIL is a grown ass 30 year old woman and mother and she would probably be living with rats if I wan't here to clean up after her. I am afraid what will happen to her when I eventually just move out, on my own if I need to.

I despise one of my classes so much that I will be grateful for any early delivery day I get. Seriously, even if I just go one day early it's one less day with them. Only 19 school days left with them...

Can I hate on my own student loans? I mean, yes, they were necessary. A bit excessive, but necessary. But geez! I've been paying on them for over 6 years now and they haven't budged! This shit is never getting paid off. I'm sorry DH. 

Magheeta

@kcasset - I still struggle with this a lot. DH's student loans were from a technical school that he didn't even finish, so he literally has nothing to show for the $13k in loans he acquired. We have worked through this, and he knows it was pretty much a waste, so we don't talk about it much anymore other than that we just want them to be gone. I know he feels horrible about it, so that helps me let go my resentment, too.

My FFFC is that I have to be a cold-hearted person. This Is Us does not make me cry. The last episode was probably the closest to it but I still didn't cry. Am I wired wrong??

Student loans do suck!! We spent 3 years and every extra penny we had to pay them off (Dave Ramsey style). Not easy, but it had to be done. They are monsters!

mylittleirvz

@pinkshades05, I am cold hearted with you - This is Us is a great show and I love it but it doesn't make me cry either.

KirstinH88

FFFC - I haven't seen This Is Us. I'm saving it for maternity leave.

Today is moving day and my husband and one of his buddies has moved everything and I barely moved just my clothes. I did hang around our new place while the cable/internet guy transferred our service, but that is about as much as I contributed. I do feel guilty for not helping, but not really. In my defense, I did offer to pay for a moving service, but my husband refused, so he's stuck doing all the heavy lifting. It would have been so easy to hire a moving service.

@kcasset I'm your husband in my relationship. It really really sucks. It feels like we're delaying everything - like buying a house (not like we can afford one any where in the city we live in, but you know), It feels like this one giant hurdle we need to get over but I am the person responsible for getting into that mess. My husband is eventually going back to school to get his masters and I told him that we are paying for his tuition as we go. There's no way we are going to take out loans for him too.

I'm on the student loan hating train. DH went to law school.  It was not cheap. 

And then he failed the Bar.  3 times.  He did come within 1.2 points and he passed in other states.  But still...it's hard not to hold it against him sometimes.  Part of the point of taking on all the debt was that we always assumed the education would benefit his career and therefore his salary.  

My FFFC is that I will do anything to avoid bending over to pick something up.  My first pregnancy, I was all about squatting down and trying to stay fit.  Not now.  I drop something at work, I ask a student to help. At home, I get DD. 

KirstinH88

@RachelGreene you're not supposed to be moving anything anyways. We moved when I was pregnant with DS and I just sat at the new house and directed everyone to put what in what rooms. 

HGRich

@RachelGreene I don't blame you on the moving thing! I assembled the stroller today and felt like my back was breaking after. Goodness. And good luck with the pay as you go thing! It can be done! DH and I paid as we went through our BAs and my MA and never took out any loans. I will say sometimes it felt like I was missing out on some of the learning experience because so much time and energy went into working, and studying sometimes got the short end of the stick, but it was still worth it and my grades did fine. 

Maybe my FFFC is that I don't watch This Is Us and I have no interest in doing so. lol.
