Mmm....DH's alarm clock. I have/had a horrible headache this morning. And he just kept letting them ring and ring and ring. I wanted to punch him. Otherwise, no twats in my life right now.
Mine is just my computer and the ANCIENT document management program I'm being forced to use for this project. It keeps getting overwhelmed and shutting down so I can't actually accomplish anything. Other than that, no TWs in my life today!
Mine is the weather. I am in SWVA and it has been raining for since Saturday. Tonight is DS' first soccer game of the season and I'm pretty sure it will be cancelled. I'm pretty bummed. I enjoy watching him play. He has a lot of middle child traits and it is nice when the attention is on him.
I'm afraid I'm the twat. We finally announced our pregnancy on Facebook Sunday, after our A/S. But now I realize after several friends' posts yesterday, that it's infertility awareness week. Now I feel like an ass who probably hurt a lot of feelings going into a tough week.

don't. i've had several friends announce this week actually. you unfortunately cannot please everyone, or live your life worrying that your great news will rain on someone else's parade. I used to battle with this myself. As someone with multiple losses I wouldn't be upset with you like "Oh how dare she during this hallowed week..." i didn't even know that that's this week.
@labby18 not TW related but your new profile pic makes me so happy. Haha LOVE Freddie Mercury!
i think i posted it in randoms, but i sometimes forget that i did that, and wonder who is loving all my friends' posts...then i'm like oh, right, that's me.
@MrsVP614 I agree with @labby18. I had no idea it was infertility awareness week either and I probably wouldn't have known. Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered to me during my time of infertility if you had posted during this week. I would have been upset ANYTIME someone shared their news. So again, like labby said, you can't please everyone. Don't let this take the joy out of your special time.
TW is just having to work for a living :P I'm so over this week already. And I have been since yesterday afternoon. I worked OT on Saturday, and spent Sunday with the best friend and her boyfriend, so I didn't get any time to just CRASH this weekend. And I'm feeling it now.
DH is the twat. He wanted to turn the fan on last night and ended up turning the light on instead. 3 times! He kept getting angrier and louder after each failed attempt and ended up waking everyone up. It really shouldn't be that hard to turn the ceiling fan on while keeping the light off.
@MrsVP614 I really struggled with announcing on Facebook because of our struggles TTC. I don't think I would have had any idea that it was infertility week. I was always sad when I saw these announcements, but I was never upset with the person posting them. I was just sad that I didn't get to make that post myself. You didn't do anything wrong and people will be happy for you, even those that are struggling and unhappy with their own situation.
@MrsVP614 I also didn't know it was fertility awareness week either...I guess one plus is that now we all know!
My TW is work. To begin with, I'm struggling with being pregnant and working. I have anxiety issues that make working in a cube farm hard anyway, and throwing pregnancy on top of that makes normal life just hard. Anyway, the real TW is that we are paying this agency around 5x my hourly rate to do some things and they keep delivering crappy work that I have to go in and spend a lot of time fixing. It would be easier for me to do their work from scratch rather than have to fix it. And the fact that they are being paid so much more than me makes me see red.
Thanks ladies. I try to be sensitive to the feelings of others, but you all have made me feel better knowing it probably won't look like a huge dick move.
Another reason I'm a TW though, I just sent back a perfectly fine Reese's Blizzard at DQ, because it wasn't the Reese's Extreme Blizzard. Maybe if I weren't in the drive thru and he could've seen my bump, he would've let me keep both.

I though that was in October?

The government shutdown is a TW. I work as a federal contractor, and supposedly, after the last shutdown in 2013, our company was supposed to receive its money quarterly. So, if there was another shutdown, we would have the money to keep people working. I like my job, but seeing as how the company doesn't give us 'snow day' leave when the base is closed and we can't get to our buildings, I'm having a hard time envisioning them paying us for being forced to take time off. So, we got an email from the head of the company saying we 'may' be affected, and stay tuned. WTF? I thought the whole point was to avoid this situation? I literally can't give up any of my vacation/ sick hours, I need them all for maternity leave. I am livid at this situation.
@ColoradoHiker the government as s whole is TW.... but my moms a fed employee too and I completely understand, she's sweating it again bc of this crap.
My TW possibly my MIL today... kind of annoyed, I'm thinking pregnancy is just making me irrationally intolerable of bs. It's her bday and my husband and his sister are not speaking so they all made plans to go to dinner to celebrate my MIL bday and she made a comment that it's a shame they can't get along bc then we'd be invited. That's not what upset me the most but rather that when I asked when we could bring her gift over she said tomorrow her niece was coming over for cake. This niece is also mad at DH for the way he's handling his sister. I explained to MIL we probably won't be coming over bc of that situation. her response was pretty much "ohh well". Which I'm cool with but "oh well on your gifts too and ohh well on your kids ever getting along bc you feed the beast by doing crap just like this. But maybe I'm being the irrational TW today and I'm ok with that.
the sun in my tw. i warned people yesterday/last week about sun sensitivities being pregnant. I just went to the airfield to watch the thunderbirds do a demo for the blue angels and i forgot my sunblock. yeah i'm miserable.
@labby18 That must have been fun! When I lived in Baltimore, the Blue Angels flew directly over my apartment and my work buildings for Fleet Week. I mean, my entire building rumbled, it was really cool! I'm sorry about your sunburn, I always wear 100+SPF (my mom had skin cancer, so I don't take any chances) and I hate myself so much when I don't wear it!
@ColoradoHiker This is DH's 3rd year with the Blues, I'm sad to leave, it's been an awesome experience. Getting to see the TBirds was pretty cool, I'm a bit biased, but I definitely like the Blue Angels' Demonstration better. I always use like 50spf or higher...super fail today.
My TW is the daily pregnancy email I get from BabyBump Community. I wish I could send a screen shot but I'm mobile and pictures are still not working. In essence, the email told me I might be "starting to show" now and I should try the hair-tie trick before I go spend a lot of money on maternity clothes. WTF??? Isn't this email like 6 weeks too late?!?! Way to give me a complex about my body.
I think I'm the TW today. I got all excited because my stroller I got on sale was delivered to the store today so me and SO went there right after work and we didn't get home til 6:15 and poor DD hadn't been picked up from daycare yet. (It closes at 7) And on top of that, I got a pack of beef jerky (her favorite) at the store and totally meant to save her some but I ate it all in the car. I feel like a bad mom.
Working today was a TW... basically whatever went wrong did... and then I came home to a toddler with way too much energy. At least I know she feels better. Now I finally sat down and baby is like "you were up too much for my taste... here's a few sucker punches to remind you to slow your roll" I'm ready to Bye Felicia this Tuesday!
My DH gets a twat waffle nomination tonight. We play bicker all the time so it wasn't put of the total norm. But he called me Princess Poutyface. I threw a fry at his head.
