Monday Bitchfest

Let 'er rip

thedawkterswife

My husband brought home a GI bug and has been racing to the bathroom to do unmentionable things all night long. Even had to call off work which is unheard of for him. 

Now I get to spend the day lysol bombing everything in the house while simultaneously trying to keep my kid and myself from getting it. 

I feel bad he's sick, just not what I want to be doing today. *whine whine whine*

J woke up like two hours earlier than he usually does and now he's napping in the car. Longest day ever!!!

School is canceled today because of rain, and wind blowing down trees. Our new superintendent gives us days off all the time. I really hate extending the school year I have plans for the summer. Grr.

My son just threw the dog's ball in my Cheerios... Thanks for that.

Is anyone else having family members tell you what sex to have? Both sides of the family are adamant about having a boy and its starting to really piss me off.  I am so sick of being told we have to have a boy we already have a girl. DH and I would be happy to have another girl or all girls but clearly families dont want another girl.

@knw007 my SIL has two girls and when they did the gender reveal for the second my FIL (also her FIL) threw his confetti popper on the ground and said “oh shit..” and walked off. It was recorded. It’s so strange the attachments people have to wanting you to have X sex. 

silverhope

@thedawkterswife ah I hope you don't get the bug! Side note: your avatar always makes me smile 

@knw007 luckily neither my mom nor my in-laws have mentioned a preference on boy/girl, but they know I am hoping for a girl and my MIL went yesterday, "I think you're having a boy" out of the blue. I feel like she could have kept that to herself.

I am so insanely itchy from my poison ivy. I am trying to go as natural as possibly this pregnancy so I haven't been using any anti-itch creams. I just bought baking soda because I read that can help, but I'm even slightly nervous to use that. I am going bonkers.

@silverhope try some tea tree oil!!

mileswithmyles

@knw007 All of DH's family is convinced it is a boy because there hasn't been a girl born in their family in forever.  Even though I really don't care if we have a boy or girl, the assumption just makes me mad.  

AFM, my shoes have destroyed my feet and it's only 10:00AM.  Why must my new booties be so uncomfortable?!  Thank goodness I am lazy and didn't take my wedges out of my car from last week.  I totally changed my shoes.

silverhope

@theletlers Thank you! I have a natural food store by me so I will look into that. 

@mileswithmyles with my new shoes, I always wear extra thick socks with them around the house for a few days to stretch them out and then they more comfy.

I don't know what is going on with my edits and replies, but my Monday bitchfest is directed entirely at myself. You guys, I am a nightmare these days! 

I have so much anxiety about making it to our 12-week appointment and then our 1st trimester screen (and getting then getting the results), that I have become so obnoxious about getting there. What is wrong with me? I do not have *that* long to go. I need to calm my shit and be such a monster about making it through the first trimester.

knw007

@mileswithmyles I know DH and I have said we just want a happy healthy baby and mommy. The fact that everyone wants a boy and is very persistent in telling  me how much they do not want a girl it just infuriates me and makes me want to say "IN YOUR FACE" if its a girl. Not really but it does infuriate me. 
@silverhope that would also piss me off if out the blue that was said. Especially if they know you want a girl.
@mamabird515 That is so weird. You know there is a 50/50 chance. It would make me feel like you would have to learn to love a child of the opposite sex because selfishly you wanted the child to be something else. 

silverhope

@okaykoala it's an extremely stressful/nerve-racking time. Don't be too hard on yourself! I almost cried before our NT scan because I was so worried something would go wrong. I am kind of surprised how quickly time is going, but I am anxious about every new appointment and the days/weeks before those appointments just drag on and on.

 This mom at school. She is also a teacher, to preface. However she refuses to help her kid with his homework or to get his permission slips signed or even to wash his school uniform so that he doesn’t have to wear a dirty shirt every day if he spills on it.  Her kid has some special needs and she plays power games with him. This kid needs her love and support but instead she comes and yells at all the teachers at conferences  for not doing enough even when she won’t respond to emails about missing work  because she tries to play power games with us too. I am so frustrated at her and sad for her kid.  The things I’d say if I wasn’t a professional…

We have seen pressure to have a new sex on both sides of our family. And literally, one SIL had her parents telling them to try for a girl WHILE she was pregnant with another boy. And another SIL being told months after having a baby to get pregnant, but "with a boy this time". It blows my mind. And the best part, is I've heard it only said to the women. Because, you know, as women we are the ones who's body determines the sex.
We are very blessed to have had one of each already. No one has said "I hope it's a ...." to us. And if they did, I would set them straight that we just want a heal  and preferably full term, baby. Honestly, when we decided to be tram green I thought our family would be upset and ask us to find out, but they all seem excited for the big reveal.

As for my Monday bitch, my DH. I don't know if it's exhaustion, hormones, hunger, or what, but he's said some really bone head things the last 2 days and I'm ready to fart on his pillow.

New director that I am working with (and really don't enjoy working with) gave me some not so great feedback today. Although, she was nice about it and said that she figures it is because I am having such a horrible pregnancy and have been so sick. But......I totally instant messaged my friend (so I thought) telling her about the feedback I received....but, accidentally sent it to said director! mortifying...she was actually pretty cool about it and thank god I didn't say anything effed up about her (like I usually do)..... Tomorrow's TW goes to me. hahah

mileswithmyles

@kpc914 omg! That’s my worst nightmare. I did that once when I sent DH a text meant for my BFF containing a lengthy rant about his parents. I wanted to crawl in a hole. Luckily he was just as mad at them as I was, so it ended up okay. Glad she was cool about it. 

mileswithmyles

The dog just barfed and I’m the only one home. Blech.

@kpc914


Also, I too am my own tw tomorrow. I made a small remark yesterday that it sucked we didn't get any Baby Ruths in the kids trick or treat outing. DH brought me home a bag of mini Baby Ruths to make me feel better. Now I'm a big ol' jerk.

theletlers

@suchaglencoco omg! Fart on his pillow!! Bahahaha!!!

@kpc914 glad it wasn't too bad and she was nice about it! If it helps, once my MIL sent me a text meant for her friend talking trash about me. She tried to tell me she was talking about her mom, but it was very clearly me since it was about a situation that my DH and I had just dealt with her. So awkward!! 

@mileswithmyles sucks to be you!! Tee hee!

kpc914

thanks ladies! Could have been much worse. 

@theletlers oh boy.....I can imagine. In fact....that could send me off into an incredible tangent about how terrible my mom is and the things I have overheard her say about my husband and I. Alas, I would like to keep my blood pressure at a decent level today hahaha...but, I am sure I will share the gem that is my mom with this group eventually. Let's just say that in highschool she told me that the reason my family had to go to therapy was because of me....therapist met with me for one session and was like "you are fine and do not need treatment." She did insist on continuing to see my mom one on one for years after that hahah.

@okaykoala waiting for week 12 is hard- so don't feel bad. Try to celebrate each day and each milestone in the meantime! It will help the time go by faster. I just reached 12w on Saturday and I'm STILL anxious. So just remind yourself that the worry might not go away and it's more worthwhile to be positive. Good luck!

@kpc914 Oh. My. Gosh... so glad to hear your director handled it well! Lol. I've been braindead with things lately so I'm making a really strong effort to triple check emails and texts lol 

suchaglencoco

@theletlers, sometimes it's the little things.

thedawkterswife

@silverhope Aww! Thank you! I FLOVE Hippos. I literally watch YouTube videos of them to cheer myself up. I cannot put into words how much I love them.

@mileswithmyles my lab got sick from the other end a few weeks ago and my parents had to come handle it. I was like nope. No way. Too pregnant for this. 

charlestonchew

@mileswithmyles @Poppy0419 I'll let you into my world and share a horribly disgusting story. I will spoiler this so beware...

When I was newly pregnant like 5 or 6 weeks one of my dogs decided to eat his own poop and proceeded to projectile vomit it all over the couch and carpet. I was the only one home and had to clean it lest it sit there for hours. I almost died from retching and now that I've survived that I truly believe I gained superpowers.

mileswithmyles

@charlestonchew you win.

Lol I need this. I threw up toNIGHT meaning I never throw up at night so that was annoying. I got told I'm HPV positive so I was stressed about that. I got new tires for my car today finally...I also started an antibiotic for an infection that I was 50/50 about using, but I just need to trust my doctor and make sure my babe is all good. Blah haha. I also took an online midterm exam and have classes early tomorrow, which my body keeps waking me up early now...yay! On top of that, I'm announcing it to the world tomorrow about our baby (we're not married yet). So here goes the tears and stupid comments from my mom and who knows how my older brother will react. Lol. Ugh.

Always tardy to the party. 

My school is annoying. The week before thanksgiving break, we have conferences/half days. Library is limited. They informed me they are closing the library one day before conferences that week, so that I can go administer an  exam. I will only see maybe 1/4th of the school that week. The following week, thanksgiving break. I will only see 1/2 the school in that time, not counting the kids who leave early for vacation/hunting. The week after that is normal, but the week following is book fair, so I won't have ANY check outs then! Add to the fact I'm only hired for 3.5 days a week, I'm struggling with accepting this for the students. It's appalling. 

JenniatONU

Adding on, I have currently 174 overdue books in the library. Almost 1/4th of the school has at least 1 overdue book. And today I had a teacher not show up with her class. ikjdsdseijdsbnf;gkjsdbh;fasjwhbf;casj  <----Me banging my head on the desk.

mamabird515

This thread is great! Lessons of the day, tell everyone you’re having a unicorn, check who you text/email before hitting send, fart on your husbands pillow. Thank you ladies haha!!

curleemama32

@JenniatONU oh thanks for the reminder...I have books that are going to be past due soon!!!!
