Re: Twatwaffle Tuesday
My TW this week is my aunt. I don't really talk to her but we're friends on Facebook and I see her at Easter sometimes. All of that to say that it's not like we have some sort of playful relationship. Anyway, the other night I posted a progress photo of our new floors (we're ripping out the carpet upstairs and laying laminate) and this morning I woke up to a new comment notification from my aunt. She said something along the lines of be careful, take it slow and then she ended it with "It's hard for fat women to bend." Can you believe that?! I know she said it in jest but why would you ever say that to anyone in any scenario let alone a pregnant woman? Especially when it's common for women to be sensitive about pregnancy weight gain! It's really not how I wanted to start my day and I've been in a bad mood ever since.
My TW is most of my coworkers. There's been an error in the calendar for one of our processes for at LEAST 4 years now. This is the first year that I've been in a management position/position to make a change. So I forced people to follow the calendar, instead of letting them back my team into a corner. They see the issue and know it needs to be fixed, HOWEVER they are whining and crying to my Director about how we screwed up the process and that we knew about it and never said anything..... I want to punch someone. we've been SCREAMING about this for 4 years!!!

Omg @supercoolstephy and @missblaze, you ladies crack me up. Whatever you got to do at this point.
@gusgus14 definitely rude all the way around. People can be so thoughtless.
My TWT is building a house/the bank. We got denied a construction loan on a technicality and the loan officer referred us somewhere else, who approved us. But we had settled on a modular instead of building in the meantime and felt good about it but now we're all angsty and conflicted again. BAH. I just don't even care. I just want out of the effing camper and in a house with a tub and a recliner and a spot for a bassinet and full sized appliances. Is that really so hard??
I pulled out my "granny panties" the other day because my normal underwear is getting so uncomfortable. SO much better!
This week is my TW. It's so freaking busy and we have a short week since we're headed out of town on Thursday afternoon, but this week is just dragging. I think I'll feel better after my GD test tomorrow.
I mean...not to brag, but after several nights of horrible sleep, I had THE BEST night's sleep last night! I only got up to pee once, and besides that small wakeup, I slept beautifully from 10:30 to 6:00. It was glorious and much-needed!
Also part of the "granny panty" crew, @schaze. They are super sexy.
And speaking of sex...I have been STRUGGLING in that department. I don't know what is wrong with me. During my last pregnancy, I felt like a freaking fertile goddess who just exuded sex-appeal. This time around, I feel like a hulking manatee. Let's just say that last night's "foreplay" involved me crying to DH about how un-sexy I felt. Let's just say that it was a REALLY great way to get "the mood" going. And despite KNOWING how "mood-killing" my complaints and cries were, I still persisted, all while DH tried to sweetly reassure me that he still finds me sexy. Luckily we got over the hurdle and were able to, you know, get the deed done...but, man! It was a process. Anyone else having a hard time in that area? And if so, what are you doing? I need to get my groove back! I miss my fun, sexy time!
@Cyanope I just have no coordination. I just about fell off the bed last time. Fearing for my life is a mood killer.
Tagging is so difficult so I'm just gonna join the underwear convo. So I actually still wear my Victoria secret pink lace band thongs. I know I'm too old for VS Pink and I generally buy them online so I don't walk into the pink part of VS. But seriously they are my favorite underwear that I wear everyday. They are low rise so they go under the bump, the lace is comfortable/stretchy, it's cotton so it breathes, and I can still wear a pantyliner (just tuck around) for the lovely pregnancy discharge. For my full-butters, I do the VS Pink boy shorts and hipsters -cotton with the lace band. So comfy... I'll probably be 60 and still buying VS Pink.
My TW is my co-worker who won't follow the chain of command. She has an issue with one of my direct reports and instead of talking to me directly about it she is always waiting until we are in a meeting with the director to bring it up. A lot of times it is one instance stuff and she makes it seem like a constant problem. But when asked she can't give an example beyond one time with one person. She never brings up issues with her direct reports in front of the director and they do the same things she is bringing up about other people's direct reports. I'm going to try talking to her again but seriously she just needs to knock this shit off.

@gusgus14 wtf? I would have zero time for that. I would never ever ever call another woman fat—even in jest—let alone a pregnant woman. Just no.
@schaze I am with you on this week. It’s Tuesday and dragging… and I also am taking Friday off. Wth. Good luck with the GD test. I do mine next week but really should drag my butt into the lab and have it done this week, so I can have the results for next week but… effort…
@cyanope Yes and yes… I was way more sexual my first pregnancy and just am not now. Mine isn’t that I feel unattractive (that’ll come soon though!), but I just have zero sex drive. However, if it makes you feel better, I’ve seen your bump photos and you are definitely one sexy mama and not a manatee! Creepy? I hope not, lol.
My TW is my department for having me teach a course that is a total time suck... I feel guilty/ashamed teaching it because it is a COMPLETE waste of everyone's time. It's supposed to be a course that helps student athletes transition to college. WTF? Who can't figure it out? This is for all student athletes, not just high risk ones. OMG I hate it so much. It's on Tuesdays, so this might be my TW Tuesday many, many more times. Kill me. At least now it is over for a week.

And glad I'm not the only one, @bainidhedub! That's me too...I'm okay once it gets going. I just don't have the drive to initiate anything. Poor DH. He's use to a much different wife. But he also understands that I'm the one struggling here, so I get to take the lead and he doesn't get to complain...
And it helps that we all know what's going on? Like, we know who we are and I know that I'm not being very rational, and we've talked about how our sex life has taken a drastic change since I got pregnant. It just hasn't changed the reality of the situation for us at this time.
Oh, joy.
