January 2018 Moms

Re: Monday Bitchfest

  • Because my company is mostly made up of tech support for our products, the company policy is that we don't get holidays. So I'm sitting in a nearly empty office because I don't want to use PTO because I need it in January since we don't get any paid maternity leave and I can't afford a pay cut. Ugh. I seriously might leave early because I'm just over it. It honestly would probably be a good day to get crap done because there's not as many people here to bother me and I'm not in the mood. Plus my husband keeps sending me cute snaps of our dogs and it makes me want to go snuggle them.
  • I have a case of the Mondays big time. Morning sickness as soon as I stood up this morning, DS woke up at 5:30. It's raining. DS refused an afternoon nap and boy did he really need one today. Ugh... Monday.

  • We had to come out to DHs extended family earlier than we would've liked this weekend. We walked into DHs cousins 5th birthday party and one of his aunts looked directly at me and goes, "So when is (DS) getting a little brother or sister?" We both were stunned and went silent, and she got quiet and says oh did I guess something?! What the hell lady, are you psychic?! They are all thrilled and it was wonderful but I'd like to see a heartbeat before we tell the world!

  • My MIL is visiting next weekend. When my husband told her the news she said "oh that's soon! You're going to be so busy. I know I couldn't have done it" (2 under 2) and other negative comments instead of saying congratulations like most people would. My parents on the other hand were thrilled and so excited. I just know I'm going to hear those comments from her and I don't want to deal with that. She lives 3hrs away so when she visits it's for the whole weekend and she stays over. And her visits are somehow always stressful. 

    I think she's a tad jealous of this new baby because we will be turning the guest bedroom into my son's room so they will have their own room. That means she can either sleep on the couch, which I don't see her doing, or stay over at her brother's house 15 min away. Win for me! 
  • I worked a 12 hour shift last night and my 50 miles drive home this morning sucked. This early pregnancy sleepiness is going to be the death of me. 
    Our little Red Raider is here and another is on its way!

  • We've been going round and round with MIL about putting DD1 in preschool.  She's been with them since she was born and they are kind of hermits so she doesn't go out much when she is with them.  We finally enrolled DD and MIL went on and on about how inconvient it will be for them to drop her off and pick her up.  Never mind we told her we are looking for a nanny or in home provider who can get her on and off the bus.

  • Not so much bitching but a bit of a rant and things that are currently irritating me.  I work with all women and you would think we would be sensitive to women and women troubles and the like. But honestly sometimes working with all women is the worst.  And lately there have been lots of comments about pregnant women and one woman is always complaining.   Sometimes I want to scream IM PREGNANT you A**Holes.    But I'm not ready to tell yet.  Probably wait as long as I can.  And it's driving me crazy. 
  • Why is it 107 degrees out?! Whyyyyyy?

    That is all.

    The kids woke up at 5:45 am, and as I went to change the laundry quick, quick, DD2 spilt DD1s  milk all over the floor. As I was wiping it up the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks and I proceeded to put my hand over my mouth and puke all over myself....Happy Monday folks!

    A co worker from another division tried to throw me under the bus infront of all the other managers today in a meeting. But I told her she had been misinformed by her team and that actually it was all in her court to deal with. 

    She constantly does this and I have to babysit her staff more than my own. Everything from drawing standards to how to use software ugh. I have no problem answering a question but don't come after me when i've given you or your staff the answer three times over.  Don't bring your issues into my house dear - I don't have anytime for that. 

    On the upside- it was so hot and sunny today!

    So. Many. Blood draws. 

    I just want to be told we are progressing and have good odds for a healthy pregnancy, or to be given the official bit of bad news so that I can get off the emotional rollercoaster. The progestrone supplements are making me bloated. My emotions are on chaotic overload. Im tired. My breasts are huge, anf achy. My HCG levels just aren't rising as fast as they should be  (but they are going up!). 

    I just want to know what's going on & this waiting game is slowly killing me. 
  • My in laws are driving me insane. I used to love them so much but my mother in law has becone unbearably needy and everyone feeds into it. DH's nephew graduated and we had a get together with family we don't see all the time (I swear since his mom got crazy needy we are all with her 2+ times a week plus individually here and there) but MIL's brother was there too and saying congrats to our nephew. My MIL is sprawled out in her armchair yelling for nephew to come see her, his mom kept saying "he's actually talking to Uncle Jim, give him a minute" and MIL kept saying no I need him now and yelling for him until finally he came over to her and she handed him his graduation gift. We were just waiting on food which had just finished so he said thanks and that he'd open it after dinner but she acted like a child and whined noooo open it now! So ge finally did, it was a wallet and he said thanks etc. But didn't make a huge deal about it and she felt the need to yell over everyone LOOK what I got him blah blah so we all had to pass his wallet around. Wtf???
