Stabby Saturday 6/9

Surely this thread is necessary.

I want to stab the people who run the tree farm we sub-contract for. You or your employees are supposed to confirm that job sites are accessible!!!! How tf are we supposed to get a 14’ 2k + lb tree up a stupid 4 ft retaining wall? Yeah DH is awesome at his job but he’s not God! Now I have to deal with a grouchy man coming home at 8 or 9pm because all they care about is the money they make from the sale of the tree. I understand homeowners probably don’t get how big the rootballs are or how much the tree weighs. They can’t be expected to think about things like access (even though they should) but the farm KNOWS! Fuck them.

Does getting stabbed by an insanely sharp clawed kitty count?

So more stabby Sunday, but baby seems to have settled further down pressing on my bladder even more. I hate wearing pants or anything at my waist (underwear included) as I can never seem to feel comfortable. It even makes it hard to sit in a comfortable position. Ugh I just want to rest.

Stabby at myself.  I got up insanely early to go take maternity pictures before it got too hot and the sun got too high for decent light.  I knew two days ago that I might decide to do this, but did I check to see if my extra batteries were charged?  Nooooo....

Even worse, I decided to try the feature on my camera that connects it to my phone, which apparently eats batteries for breakfast.

Thankfully, I think I got some cute pictures and learned a new feature on my camera, but I wasn’t done yet!!!

I don’t know if this is because it’s my second kid or if because I’m AMA this time around, but I’m having major pelvic pain this time and I’m so so annoyed I can’t move my legs without pain.

@knottieamusements technology fails (especially when I am partially to blame) make me the stabbiest.

Also stabby at myself! I can’t sleep past 630am! H and I are visiting friends this weekend. We drove 4 hours to see them and They all stayed up late hanging out and I couldn’t keep my eyes open past 1130pm. Of course I then woke up at 630 this morning and am just hanging by myself now. At least it gave me an opportunity to catch up on all the posts here!

@rc-cola I can't sleep in past 6:15 am either. Between the sciatica, the sun streaming in, and my old dog waking up and scratching up the floor in our bedroom, sleeping in isn't an option. I visited a friend last weekend and stayed up later than normal, and man was it rough functioning the next day, because I still woke up early.

I’m super stabby at Panera Bread today (and yesterday for that matter). All I wanted to eat this weekend was one of their ham and cheese egg soufflés. Yesterday we went and they were sold out, so fine I settled for a sandwich. Went to a different one today and they had a bunch of them that just came out of the oven...perfect! However when I cut in to it it wasn’t cooked all the way through. They gave me a new one but that one wasn’t cooked either...asked them to put it back in the oven so they did but it didn’t cook enough still and I really don’t want to get sick. Ended up with another sandwich today and cried when I got in the car. Ugh stupid hormones and only certain foods sounding good!

knottieamusements

@spartan4life - oh, that sucks.  I’m so sorry.  

halfanewt

@spartan4life I hate it when things like that happen! Seriously, people. Check your oven temps! 

+1 to the early rising, especially now that it’s light so early...

My Stabby Sunday contribution: work up at 2am with food poisoning from stadium food. I even went with the pre-baked, self contained food option so I wasn’t risking all the potential ick from hotdogs, open lettuce, etc. uuuugh.

Stabby because apparently, if Target delivers your order on two separate days, you have to return in 2 shipments. What the hell? It's the same order! I'm trying to return 2 shirts, so I don't exactly have 2 tiny boxes laying around, nor do I want to waste one if I do. GAH. Now I will just go return in store out of principle because this whole thing is stupid.

cdepperschmidt

I’m super stabby because I accidentally got
mysef into a vaccinate argument with a kid from high school who I didn’t realize is a conspiracy theory nut job. After DS goes down for his nap, I’ll share some tidbits, because holy crap. 

jennybean80

Waiting for his nap @cdepperschmidt!

cdepperschmidt

Sorry got busy...coming now.

Initial post....

HoosOnFirst

You know that thing when you are hungry all the time but your heartburn makes you feel ill? THAT’S STABBY. I’m miserable today and my poor Dh is handling our toddler cuz I can’t be a parent today. Which also makes me feel even worse.

So basically I tell the guy that the scream shot clearly states that SV40 hasn’t been in vaccines since 1963 And he says well are you aware of the ingredients. I respond by saying yes, but the benefit out weighs the risk. He replies with well did you know children die from vaccines every year and children get these disease even if they’ve been vaccinated. Again I’m like yeah dude I know, but it’s risk benefit. To which he replies with...

At this point I’m like okay this dude thinks washing hands and proper refrigeration will save us from childhood illness. Then some older genius comments on vaccines causing autism. To which I say you realized he made it all up right? At which point I get accused of beliving what “they tell you to believe”. It gets even better because the dudes baby mama then gets on a days Im spewing the same stuff her pediatrician does and she gets her facts from the CDC?!?!?


Ya’ll I just can’t even. I then get accused of not backing up my opinions with facts and throwing around terms like herd immunity and told that because my doctor says it’s safe isn’t a valid response. Then some crazy person gets on there and says her sisters kid got autism from vaccines and his baby mama links vaccines to SIDS. Seriously people, I’m done with this.

jennybean80

@cdepperschmidt I just avoid those conversations like the plague! There is no convincing crazy. The fact that there are cohort studies of hundreds of thousands of kids which prove no link between vaccines and autism, and Andrew Wakefield was being paid to find reason to repudiate the MMR vaccine (so they could come up with a separate vaccine to make themselves rich) weighs pretty strongly to my mind.

@HoosOnFirst, I had the same thing with my last pregnancy (baby #4). My midwife never mentioned that it was due to age, but it is related to being overweight among other factors. I ended up having SPD (Symphysis pubis dysfunction). It got so bad for me I ended up using a walker the last few months of my pregnancy and couldn't walk long distances without pain. I either had my husband do the grocery shopping or I rode in a motorized cart. Physical therapy helped as well. I was warned that it's likely to reoccur in subsequent pregnancies. I've been feeling some early signs of pelvic pain this time around and pray it doesn't get worse.

Thank you for sharing. I also suspect it’s more that this is not my first pregnancy and my ligaments are all floppy my ob basically told me we will keep an eye on it. I’m sorry you had SPD, that’s honestly what I’m most worried about. My husband is amazing and I know we would survive but that would be so much on him. I had issues two weeks ago, they cleared up but then reappeared on Friday. I just ordered a support belt, coming tomorrow!

I'm going to be so happy when the come out with clear science on what causes autism. There's already some, but people still ignore it. I believe I read an article that they are finding links that prove it happens before a child is even born. Just because most autism isn't diagnosed until well after vaccines are given, doesn't mean they caused them. The tell tale signs of autism just aren't noticable in an infant.

So my brother and his family were suppose to come for dinner last night. We were just gonna get pizza and hang out. Well he had to reschedule for tonight because he was having car trouble last minute. This is not surprising in the least because every time we make plans something comes up. 

They were suppose to be here at 6. I made chicken parm for dinner since we did pizza anyway last night. My brother text me at 430 telling me he needs to stay until 6. Ok fine no problem...until you guessed it...car trouble again. I give up...I'm just stabby and frustrated. 

HoosOnFirst

Flaky family is the worst. My dad is well known for this and he wonders why we stopped inviting him to things?

cdepperschmidt

@sammierose464 I believe I’ve read that too. A lot of people say that the signs of autism show up around 2, which makes sense because of the social emotional changes that happen at that age.

@mamabearcj Admittedly I had no idea what I was getting myself into and everytime I tried i end it he came back like the plague. I ended up gif-ing out and then his baby mama started spewing non sense. Another guy from
high school PM’d me and was basically like hey just FWI he’s a little too deep into conspiracy theories and there might be some
mental health issues.

Oh my god, when my pedi first mentioned that Z might be showing some signs of early autism, I was talking about it with my coworkers in the office. One of our patients immediately asked if I vaccinated him. Seriously people? Babies get vaccines when they're days old, of course the signs don't show up until afterwards. Even if your "proof" was real, I'd still vaccinated. I'd rather my child be autistic then dead.

sliztee

Love that, @krzyriver!!!!

jomama1618

@krzyriver We say that all the time! People get so offended and pissed off when we do too! I don't get it... Like my kids (especially DS) have an insanely high familial/genetic predisposition for it (most all the boys in my family are on spectrum, my sister is and I have what they affectionately titled autistic tendancies due to genetic predisposition. Which I think means I show enough of the linked signs with the rest of my family,  but they can't fit me in a labeled box of exact diagnosis. So they made that one!) I just can't with the non-vax logic. 

@HoosOnFirst OB said it's usually a 2nd+ time mom thing. I told him that was crap since our muscles/ligaments should do better since they been there done that He giggled and said sorry kiddo! Not how it usually works. I had the sads lol but my little sister (who is due the same week as me. Have I talked about that yet?) and I both noticed is much more painful and harder to be comfy this time. 

sammierose464

I can't imagine how someone on the spectrum or with kids on the spectrum must feel when people complain about vaxx's causing autism feel. I agree with @krzyriver . I'd rather have a kid with autism, then a dead kid or suffering from a disease I could have prevented. Many people with autism live perfectly normal lives, and those with severe cases still have productive lives.

cdepperschmidt

@krzyriver I completely agree and have said that myself! 

spartan4life

@krzyriver completely agree! I almost got in to it with a friend of a friend when we were at their house but I bit my tongue. I just said this baby will be vaccinated with whatever is available and left it at that. She didn’t say anything else.

cdepperschmidt

So just as an update to that Facebook convo in vaccines. I stopped responding yesterday, but a few other people stepped in and today baby mama said, that after listening to Andrew Wakefield speak she doesn’t believe that his research is what they say it is. This chick literally drinks the kool-aid I guess.
