Weekend randoms 6/8-6/10

Starting early
Re: Weekend randoms 6/8-6/10
I am so exhausted. My H’s stupid ass food truck was booked at the carnival in our town Wednesday through Saturday. He managed to partially staff it, but no one except him is certified to drive it. So the last two nights he was home past 11 and I’m a super light sleeper so of course I wake up and can’t fall back asleep. Last night we had to go to the friends and family “soft opening” of his company’s new restaurant, 45 mins away (in addition to the 1.5 hours I had to drive home from work), then as
soon as we got home he had to go back to the carnival to take care of the truck. Tonight he only has one staff person so he actually has to work the whole night, so I’m completely on my own for bedtime third night in a row. All of this and the sales haven’t even been that good. I’m just getting really fed up. One of his three bosses said at their meeting this week that this isn’t his job and if he gets stuck working the truck he should be paid extra for it. Okay great, can’t wait to see if they actually follow through on that. Ugh I’m just so annoyed, I feel like his job is literally taking over our entire lives especially this week, and so anxious knowing all the things we need to get done around the house are being ignored because of all this. It’s also affecting my mom, who is here longer hours because of it and has had to drive here every day this week instead of my son going there because my H wouldn’t be able to pick him up. So basically it’s affecting the entire family. I just hope it changes soon. my patience is wearing thin.
Anyone else getting horrible charley horses? I actually had to get out of bed to get my foot to go normal again and get rid of the pain but it still has residual pain.
Ive been Hooked up to the NST for 15 mins and I haven’t seen/heard a single acceleration. Kid must be sleeping. Come on baby, start moving or i’m Gonna be stuck here a while!
I literally cried on the way home yesterday thinking about trying to entertain DS, feed him, bathe him, dress him, get everything ready for the next day and get him to bed on my own. I'm so tired. and SO pregnant.
@lindsayleigh1989 I was having that problem until I started eating a banana every morning for breakfast. I guess I needed potassium? Maybe you can try that?
@lindsayleigh1989 mine are not awful but I get them every night because I wake up with super sore calves!
Also, yeah, WTF about Anthony Bourdain. Super sad and once again, makes you realize we really need to focus on mental health more. No matter the money and the success...
@elizabethrn87 good luck with the sleep! @foxbaby@hillbillywife solo parenting isn't a walk in the park and you're doing great!
I should be up and possibly getting ready for the gym but I'm so lazy! DH woke me up at 6...he goes...good morning honey. I respond...what time is it? -LONG SiLENCE, then...oh it's 6am, go back to sleep! Lol didn't he look at the time before waking me? I went back to sleep...and now guess who is napping after the alarm already went off...
@zande2016 @hillbillywife @foxbaby2016
ugh I hear you on the solo bed time/SAHM struggles. My H is home twice a week for bed time, maybe. The worst is when I’m expecting him home and he has to stay late for whatever reason. It’s always something in the restaurant business.
I’ve gotten worse and worse at actually making and eating dinner for myself too, especially since I haven’t been hungry at night.
I feel terrible some days I find myself counting down the hours until we start the bed time routine. I never wanted to be that bitter SAHM but I guess like all things I can’t be 100% all of the time. Hang in there!
Also.. SOS my toddler won’t stop taking off all of his clothes and climbing all over me. If I get elbowed in the stomach one more time I’m going to lose it.
Early nap time.
You guys - I set up a blow-up kiddie pool in my living room last night so that I could cool off, float, and watch TV at the same time.... no shame, no regrets.
@canucklehead123 I think everyone, including myself, is jealous we didn't think of it sooner.
@canucklehead123 that sounds amazing! You may be a genius. Let us know how emptying it goes!
Im super annoyed with target today. They sent me the wrong color bookshelf for the baby’s room and won’t send out the right one until they receive the other one back. It’s completely unfair that I have to wait to get the right item because of their error! I’m thinking of chatting with them again today and seeing if I can get it sent out sooner. I may play the “I’m pregnant and this item is needed to finish my child’s nursery” card to garner sympathy
I just can't deal. I'm not being very productive at work today so I am going to just log off early and send her home and take my son to the playground. Even though chasing him around the playground will be very physically challenging for me.
@gspmom21 welcome back!
@zande2016 that is frustrating! That might be a weird conversation for you to have with her.
I am a giant bundle of emotions today. I had a great day with DS at the museum water area and we got ice cream, and DH had taken they day off for "man allergies" so he didn't come with us. Anyway he says he may not go to the baseball game with his bro on Sunday because he's worried about money. BS. Mind you, this is the baseball game I got him tickets for for fathers day, he new about in advance, not a surprise, we have the same amount of money we had then as we do now, its a minor league game so beer won't be THAT expensive...anyway, the player he wanted to see is on the disabled list, and he doesn't want to go to the game Sunday at all if he won't be playing. I'm like, so you can just go to another game. And he's like, no, I don't feel comfy spending that money really (its $12. Less than a 4 pack of the beer he drinks costs), so I'd rather just not go. SO you don't want to spend money on beer at the ballpark now and are totally willing to eat the $29 I have already spent, but when this guy wasn't on the disabled list the money was ok? Basicaly, I think he has another reason he doesn't wanna go on Sunday, ranging from laziness to a better offer, and I told him it really hurt my feelings and he's acting like I'm the unreasonable one. And blaming his now poor mood on me.

On top of that, while I was rage cleaning I went downstairs to find the diapers I just put away that DS had been using and look for my missing newborn clothes and came across what was supposed to be my DD's coming home outfit...and then realized that the reason we are missing so many pairs of newborn pants is because I hauled the gender neutral ones out for her, and put them all in a box with her clothes when we cleaned out her nursery. So in order to get the pants I have to find those clothes and I thought I knew where they were but they aren't there. So I was all emotional and crying because of that.
End TW
It's been a day. I hope the tacos I made are good.
I just got back from a mom and baby yoga class (need to observe 2 more as part of my cert). It was great and I am planning on joining once I am clear, the time works perfectly. However, it also got me a bit anxious...it's like, catch a glimpse of how it's going to be! And it was sad to see a few moms are going through PPD, I never want my mind to go there and I know that it is very common so I just want to be prepared. Overall it was a good experience and it was exciting to know I will have at least one activity planned each week with the baby so I don't completely lose my mind.
I just spent like 2 hours watching random birth stories on YouTube. This is what happens when H works late and I can’t watch our shows.
We have a wedding to go to later on and not looking forward to the heat, general discomfort and DSs limited attention span with these events. Oh and we still need to buy a gift.
It’s almost 5am here and I’ve been up for the last hour and a half unable to fall back asleep. @wildtot I hope you’re able to get some sleep or maybe a good nap before the wedding! I fortunately don’t have too much other than dinner plans that I HAVE to do today. I probably should be using this time to write all the thank you notes that I haven’t finished, but I’d rather catch up on all these bump boards that I don’t get to read from my cubicle during the day
@wildtot is that a normal thing around you? racing? So annoying! Wedding sounds fun, but it is SO HARD to do them with toddlers. Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself!
I have no idea what we are doing today. I have to go to the store, and we'll likely just tool around the house, maybe head to the lake beach if its warm. DH has his 20th HS reunion later and I'm headed to MIL's to wait out him being ready to go, which should be fun and relaxing! Then waiting to see if DH deems my Father's Day present worthy of going to. I'm still annoyed and he STILL doesn't get it. There is another reason he's not wanting to go and it needs to come out soon or I'll lose my shit, lol.
