DH was so careful to not get me sick allllllll week. I spend 2 days with IL and come down with a cold. I hate everything except these Vicks Kleenex with lotion.
I will preface this rant by saying - I realize I'm being cranky.
The one off posts starting up again are really irritating me and I'm trying really hard to hold in my snark.
If you don't care to interact with the rest of us on a regular basis I have a hard time caring about your questions or problems.

1. We discussed trading off pet-help with our next door neighbors (e.g., feeding each others' dogs if we go out of town). Well they took us up on the offer right away, and while DH is out of town, I am stuck with a 9-week-old puppy in our house (not just stopping at theirs to feed) and taking care of a horse! My dogs aren't too happy with the situation. While the puppy is super cute and fun to play with, it requires constant supervision so I have been unable to get anything done.
2. It is pouring today. I had to feed the horse in the rain, and then drive to work on flooding roads.
3. The defendant didn't show up for our scheduled eval today. So I drove to work in the rain for NO REASON. Ugh.
Heat + crowds + pregnant is a terrrible combination. I was picturing emoji knives in my head a lot yesterday when I kept having to ask DH to walk slower and he acted annoyed. I know he hates walking slow, I do too... but my heart was racing even walking slow (and by slow I mean regular people pace... not our speed walking tall people pace. It wasn't even slow!).
My bitch fest this week is petty, but I'm still annoyed. DH got the cheap toilet paper last time he went shopping and I'm sick of having to use half a roll every time I pee. And of course he got it at the wholesale club so we have like a million rolls to go thru.
On the other side of the weather talk.... I'm sick of it being middle of May and rainy and cold!!! This is why I'm moody. This is why I have no motivation. I want some sunshine in my life.
DH vetoed my $340 diaper bag crush. He suggested I stay under $150. I mean there are a ton I like under $100 , but non of which I'll touch after I'm done using it as a diaper bag.
I could bitch more about the inlaws and racist comments made after DD's recital on Friday but I won't bore you with that. It's still early on Monday morning here. I'll have something good soon Im sure!
I know this is weak, but it's still bugging me. SO bought nonfat greek yogurt instead of regular. It's not good at all. I've already had to cut the sugar and all the tasty food in my world. I wanted the fatty yogurt, dang it.
My BF is stupid ass YouTube kid channels. I'll take Nick Jr and Disney Jr shows over this crap any day
I also got a note from DD1's teacher that she is pretty behind the district expectation for their online math practice (which she needs to be doing at home). So now I have a week left to crack down on her to get this shit done before school gets out next Friday. I can't wait for the attitude to come with it
My BF fest is DH's situation - I'm not mad at him, but I'm annoyed at having to deal with all this crap.
1. He got sick last weekend and it lasted several days. I had to take care of EVERYTHING so it felt like I didn't get a weekend at all. Then this past weekend we were away for my brother's graduation, so now it's Monday and I feel like I haven't had a day off in effing forever.
2. He lost his job last week and I've had to play rah rah cheerleader to keep his morale up while he gets his head in the right place. I truly believe everything will be fine and I see kismet in the timing of all of this but it gets a little draining to have to be so reassuring so frequently. I probably win Worst Wife Of The Year for saying that. But I'm tired
3. He woke up the second day we were away with pain in his Achilles tendon. It hasn't abated and today he can barely walk. Today was also our AS. I felt bad that he was in pain but I also was mad that this morning felt overshadowed by his situation when I wanted it to be all about our girl and the scan. He has a doctor appointment this afternoon and I'm worried about it being a blood clot since we were flying. I don't need this stress!
On top of that our contractor decided to take the day off and we do not have counter tops or a working sink in our kitchen. Everything feels like such a chaotic mess.

Omg I don't know where people get the ideas for some of this kids crap on YouTube. My daughter likes watching the family finger song and there are some super creepy versions out there.
@migdala if you won worst wife, it's only cause we tied for it! SO hasn't landed permanent teacher status yet, so he has to reapply for jobs every June. He gets super depressed about it (even though it's par for the course) and walks around saying "how would you feel if you got fired every year". Dude. You didn't get fired. Your contract ended. Huge difference. Anyway, I try to be rah rah cheerleader, but it gets to be draining. And if I voice any bit of maybe feeling a little down myself, I get "how do you think I feel?!?!? I'm getting FIRED!!!!"
@OliveOyl2014 the finger family song is burned into my brain. The only one I can stand is the animal face painting one cause the kids are so darned cute.
My BF is that almost everyone who I worked with when I started my job has moved on to other places. Another person just announced today. I have been wanting to move on for a while but I waffle between loyalty (but to whom at this point, I don't know) and just not knowing what I want to do. Also, I am pregnant and that is probably not a good time to leave. But then I will have an infant. And be a mother of 4. So, the opportune time to leave is probably retirement. Ugh.

@bluejeanbabi05 Exactly! I guess some of them are intimidated but... not enough to be afraid of posting their own SS threads??
Also, another rant. Why the eff am I already feeling so out of breath? Anyone else?

@jessafishy I was huffing and puffing every few steps yesterday at the zoo. Forget going up and down steps in my own house. Between the deep breathing, and the moaning from the aches and pains, I sound like an 80 year old.
Blah. DH just bought this outdoor speaker for $120. Normally I would get frustrated but this time I'm like REALLY?!?!? and actually upset. We literally just dropped about a grand on the credit card at Disney last week. So yeah. We are not speaking currently. Priorities and timing, man.
+1 for being out of breath. For me, it happens intermittently. Like, sometimes I can run around the yard with the kids, and other times I get winded pulling myself up into our SUV.

@purplestarz I'm team all the speakers sound the same. A few months ago DH took back one of our smaller Sonos speakers and exchanged it for this long flat one that goes under the tv. Sounds the same as the tv speaker for me, but, "the sound projects directly to the couch, not backwards!" O_o
And then I found out the new speaker was $400!!! Oh but no, it was only $200, because he exchanged the other speaker. THATS NOT HOW MONEY WORKS.
My DH did this too with surround sound speakers. He bought all new speakers and the ones on the mantle don't fit right anymore and the two for behind the couch we can't even use bc our kids knock the speaker stands over all the time so I just put them in the garage. So, $$$ and the sound is exactly the same. We don't even use surround sound at all most of the time because our living room is tiny so it doesn't make much of a difference.
I feel like I'm not-a-random and I still second guess myself when I start a new thread...."do I really need to post this?" "what if someone else posts this exact thing 30 seconds before I post it?" "should this just go in another thread?"
I fell somewhat between a lurker and a moderate user in my last BMB and I never, ever started a thread except for the birth story (which was common and acceptable)
BFP#1: 12/3/13 EDD 8/15/13. Heartbeat found on 12/26/13, HB gone on 1/4/13. D&C 1/7/13
BFP#2: 4/19/13 EDD 12/28/13. Team Green for pregnancy and Baby Girl arrived 12/21/13. BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
@natleilynn Right? I don't even like starting a new thread unless it's a regular weekly thread.

NoooOoooooOooo
ETA: he told me it "was like 50% off." I just looked it up. Normally $180, on sale for $120. I know math is not my strong suit but....

ETA: but the reviews were so good! *eye roll*
