WTF Wednesday 12/20

mrsbubbles-2

What's got you saying WTF today?

pghctwife

Wtf house. Finally the hvac guy os coming out today to see why the heat isn’t working downstairs... after a week of it being like 55 downstairs (only that warm that’s to heat from upstairs).

and.., it was warmer yesterday so it’s a solid 64 in here now. He’s gonna be like ‘um what are you talking about...’ and then it’ll get cold again and be miserable for Xmas 

scottishlass1213

Wtf unisom. My dr told me I could take it as I’ve been having a really tough time sleeping. Slept great last night but woke up and got up to make DS breakfast and get ready for work and started to feel hot and dizzy like I was going to pass out!! DH came home and I’m still laying in bed. I took a whole instead of a half and that was super scary! My own fault, I know. 

Firemanswife11

Wtf rib, thanks for popping out of place when I stretched this morning. It's a reoccurring issue but it usually stays put when I am lifting more. I guess I need to hit the weights a little bit. Dang it.

WTF DH. He cannot fathom why on earth I would want to be a part of this community, especially since this is my second pregnancy and I know what to expect. Otherwise, he’s pretty much perfect, especially catering to my ridiculous pregnancy needs/whims. But srsly DH, why do you even care about this?

Men are weird. H no longer asks ‘why?’ He now asks ‘what’s TB saying today?’. It took him through the first 1.5 pregnancies and TTC between for him to get it.

WTF to my makeup. My Tinted Moisturizer that I wear every day has vitamin a in it, so I am stopping using it until I see my doctor to run it past her. I feel so naked. I miss it. 

mrsbubbles-2

@pghctwife - just ugh, seriously hope you get your furnace fixed soon! Do you have a fireplace or something downstairs that could help with the heat?
@scottishlass1213 - that's so scary! Glad you're ok!
@Firemanswife11 - omg your rib pops out? I hope the lifting helps!
@lakesideknitter - whaaat? Hopefully he comes around soon!

My WTF goes to the alarm clock on my phone. For the last 2 weeks if I hit snooze and go back to sleep I wake up like 45 min later and the snooze time says -45:13, -45:14, etc. Grumble. So now it's a decision I don't want to make - get up right when the alarm goes off or arrive to work late. It's like Sophie's Choice y'all.

lakesideknitter

@Firemanswife11 that’s crazy! Hoping it doesn’t bother you too much throughout the pregnancy. Is it a connective tissue problem? 

Firemanswife11

@lakesideknitter not sure. It happened a few years ago for the first time when I was twisted to the side, bent over to pick something up, and sneezed. I don't really have any other issues. Just this one lil rib! Lol. 

pghctwife

@mrsbubbles-2 yeah we have a propane fireplace but until yesterday had no tank (oil heat up here). We have the tank now so we can heat with that at least. 

I just hare it when you finally are trying to get something fixed or dealt with and miraculously to doesn’t ‘show’ the issue when you need it to. Like ‘I swear I was freezing in here Monday!’ Ugh

lalala2004

WTF work, I’m only working a half day and  you want me to cover ISS during home room and lunch, my usual class, and then another teacher’s class? When am I supposed to eat lunch? So today I’m going to work early so I have time to eat lunch. Lame.

mrs_drc_rn

WTF DH, you have an ear infection, you’re not dying! 

izmom28

Same @mrs_drc_rn except my DH has a sinus infection. 

jaztastic

Accountant by profession. Gearing up for year end close, with over half the office out on vacation. WTF

canadianmom89

My WTF ... they stopped testing urine at doctors appointments until 35 weeks in my province . That’s how I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes later in my pregnancy last time ... 

multifariousmermaid

My WTF is pop... FTM and I just found out that pop is not good to drink during pregnancy. I've been having a small redbull in the morning which is well under the caffeine limit. I gave up smoking so I figured a little redbull would be OK (better to have a small one in the morning than a smoke) and then I find out I shouldn't be drinking any sort of pop. WTF!? I'm sort of WTFing a lot on what I can and can't put in my body right now. Seems like every day it's something new. I thought, just stay away from lunch meat, booze, cigarettes and I'll be golden... NOT! 

But I am super happy to be pregnant and am willing to give up anything to make sure my baby is healthy!

I felt like death with my sinus infection on Monday

@multifariousmermaid It's great that you have quit the cigs! Well done! I don't think there is much harm in having a soda every now and then as long as you're under the caffeine limit. Maybe not energy drinks like redbull but I had a sprite the other day and had soda during my last pregnancy too. Maybe you could try sparking water, that usually curbs the craving for me! 

Edit for spelling

lalala2004

@multifariousmermaid soda is fine as long as you’re under the caffeine limit, but make sure you’re looking at the whole can of Red Bull as far as caffeine content because it actually has two serving sizes. There really aren’t that many restrictions when you look at them closely.

legallykate

@multifariousmermaid my OB said one soda a day was fine, but she said energy drinks are questionable because they have some ingredients that haven’t been tested and aren’t monitored by the FDA but I’ve been having “organic” energy drinks from Whole Foods from time to time (just staying under 200 mg of caffeine per day).

Can you pull the ‘it happened once, it’s likely to happen again’ card?

multifariousmermaid

Good to hear I don't need to cut out pop altogether and thanks for the heads up on the energy drinks. I've been trying to switch to black tea but it's just not the same

lalala2004

I have yet another work WTF. Apparently now the are going to have us decide whether to lock down or evacuate during an active shooter situation. WTF, I am not trained for this, and I am not qualified to make a decision like that! And they say they'll give us information about where the shooter is? How are they going to do that in a real life situation? They did the drill, and the whole thing was over in 2 minutes with them saying "Police are on the scene." Yeah, no, they don't respond that fast. So to add to that, WTF to the country I live in where this is even a thing. It's like every where is a war zone. In reality we better hope it just never happen here, because there's really nothing we can do but hope and pray if something like that happens.

mrslittlemac

@lalala2004 I'm sorry their training/drill is so inadequate. We had a similar "training" where I work (located inside a big retail store) that was just a video that covered extremely improbable scenarios and glossed over the kinds of things that actually happen. What a world we live in

I'll go ahead and say it: my WTF is directed at folks who have no chill and stir up drama for its own sake. There's a reason BMBs are organized like they are--if you want a free-for-all glitterfest please hitch a ride to babycenter or wherever else. Don't whine when something you post isn't received well by the community. Let it go and move on. I am laying low for the most part because I am not as gentle as ya'll at redirecting people. 

lalala2004

@mrslittlemac I don't know about everyone else, but I'm sitting on a warning right now and trying to avoid a second  . I say you do you

mrslittlemac

@lalala2004 do... Do warnings expire? I got one when things went down in the F17 board, and have been trying to play nice ever since!

jsnakehole

@lalala2004 WTF?! I would not want to be held responsible for making life or death decisions in a lock down situation. There's a reason there are plans and procedures, not "Well, you do you. Evacuate, shelter in. Whatever." My schools has very clear procedures and I still get nervous during drills. 

junabugtunabug

Wtf to my SO. He's suddenly an emotional wreck and wants to cling to me all the time worse than my toddler and it's driving me insane. We discussed it for the past 2 days and it's a little better but I swear of he makes one more kiss face at me I'm gonna punch him. The hormones are raging right now and I'm so irritable. So.... Basically just no one touch me. Which I told him and he responded with a super long hug. /rant

ecwk

@lalala2004 IKWYM about the lock down situation. Our policies have changed dramatically since I started there a few years ago. It used to be just huddle in the corner in the dark and silence and pray. Now it's all hands on deck to barricade the room, distract and disarm the shooter. And since we have cameras and an intercom, if they let us know the shooter is far away from us, we can make the decision to evacuate. It scares the absolute shit out of me, especially coming from a country where even our police force is not armed. And when I think of DS going to school in a few years...forget it, I just can't  

also areyou on a warning for the ramzi thread? That's BS, man. 

@mrslittlemac you're absolutely spot on 

lngcdr2009

WTF to my dog. She decided to gulp a ton of water and snarf down some food this morning. Then ran and jumped on my bed and promptly threw up on it!!!! Yeah that's just what I wanted to deal with before I had to go to work today.

Ugh, bummer. I hate it when they do that kind of thing. You'd think they'd know.

mrsbubbles-2

@lalala2004 and @ecwk I’m so sorry your schools are putting you in those positions, how terrifying!
@lngcdr2009 oh no! I hope your pup feels better!
@mrslittlemac I’m going to borrow free for all glitter fest. Not for bumping but I think I can put it to good use in my non-interwebz life
@lalala2004 I really hope there were no warnings handed out for the Ramzi thread, I thought everyone handled the obnoxiousness perfectly!

Yeah, at 6 months.

@jsnakehole Yeah, it’s based on some new protocol and recommendations, but there is training that goes with it, and I haven’t had the training. They need to give us training at least before expecting us to make decisions like that.

@ecwk Nah, it was a drive by BFP on TTGP. I strongly implied that the OP was illiterate and/or blind. And by implied, I mean that’s what I said

lalala2004

@ecwk but the thing that bothers me about the cameras.... yeah, we have them, but what if the people who have access to them are off campus or somewhere else in campus and can’t get to view them. That all goes out the window. I feel like we’re practicing best case scenario. 

boymom4eva

WTF BFP

I was soooo not expecting this in any way shape or form. 

SmashJam

My WTF is people saying things like, "Oh you just wait til later, you'll know busy!" or "Oh man, just wait til you're outnumbered."

Two things. One, I've had a bad day so I am very sensitive to this today. Two, I've been waiting to be outnumbered (when I'm home with both as a stay at home mom) for almost 2 years at this point, so yeah, I cannot WAIT to finally be out numbered. THREE, this is really not helpful to say. I'm already knocked up, are you implying that was a bad choice because there's no goin' back now! Are you implying because I have one bad day and vented to you that means I won't be able to handle two? I AM HORMONAL CAN YOU NOT TELL THAT YOU SHOULDN'T SAY THIS TO ME?!?!

mrs_drc_rn

@SmashJam ugh, I HATE all of those “just wait until...” comments. People always made those comments to me about my son, like, ok my child is not the same as yours so I don’t really give a shit that your child went through the terrible two’s and I should wait for that because guess what?!?! He was perfectly fine at two!!! Ugh, so annoying.

Someone started telling me all about how i needed to add gates to my registry while at Ikea, and then proceeded to give me lists of what I'd need and how much trouble kids are. I was like hold up lady, i left my toddler in Smalland or whatever they call it so I could shop in peace. 

ecwk

@SmashJam I wanted to nut punch people who said "Oh, you're having trouble sleeping? Well you better get used to it. Hardy har har" when I was pregnant with DS. Thanks for the shit advice. I haven't STTN since about January of last year, try saying something like that this time around, I dare you

@lalala2004 our camera views are visible from the main office where the intercom is so that's the only reason it might work. Shudder. I hate even thinking about this but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it regularly. We had pretty intensive training and the kids did too. One reason I'm so glad I'm with HS kids, they can help. I surprisingly felt pretty comforted at how well we can barricade ourselves!! 

lalala2004

@ecwk I really hope we do that at my school. One of our APs has actually been in a school shooting situation in his old school. And they say the statistics now are averaging one a week. I’d rather bury my head in the sand and hope it just won’t happen here, but that’s not helpful when this has the unfortunate reality.
