What are you just so done with today??
Re: Monday BF
I'm annoyed that it's so hard to find a place that will give me the TDAP. My OB doesn't do it in office, my physician won't because I'm pregnant. So I'm going to go to the Urgent Care near work this week.
oh, and one of those people specifically is my boss. it is just me and two bosses, and usually they are (very different but) both great. but one is gone (my favorite) and the other is driving me nuts. she caters to her clients more than i believe is helpful (enabling vs. helping, maybe) and then does not understand when they expect that. and today that just seems to be coming to a head with several people and i am just not in the mood for it!
not serious problems in the grand scheme of things, but i was definitely ready for this thread.
I'm over work. I'm finding it harder and harder to focus and basically have been working on getting everything organized for my leave. I don't want to actively seek out new projects and events since I wouldn't be here to work on them till January... so i'm starting to find it hard to fill five 8 hour days. Unfortunately, I work for a government organization, so there is no working from home or taking time off without benefit time. So here I am, bumping.
My other BF is that the pool I’ve been swimming in decided to renovate and is closed from now until the end of September. The exact time I planned to use it (the whole reason I got my membership!!!) I’m so annoyed. Also what pool closes in the summer?!?
And after the last couple weeks, I'm just not sure how this place is going to run without me. We just went from 3 people to 2 in my department, and my coworker has been doing all the field work and has been out of the office most days. I've been in the office taking care of everything (setting up projects, writing proposals, writing reports, managing the lab, dealing with crap). And I just don't see how my coworker is going to do ALL of it. It's impossible. And he already said he isn't going to break his neck to try, because they just moved the 3rd person last month, knowing that I'm about to be out, which is so dumb. My boss says they'll just try to get help from other offices, but I just don't know how that'll really help and will probably just be more of a pain than anything else. And here we are, less than 10 wks away. And what if I go early, or have to go on bed rest (my blood pressure was slightly higher at my appointment last week but they didn't say anything)? I'm not stressed about it (work maybe, but not about being gone), but definitely over it.
Edited to add: I find it odd that a PCP would feel unsafe giving you the vaccine because the risks to you and your baby of leaving you unprotected are so so much greater than the risks of the vaccine itself.
I had a coworker try to throw me under the bus in a meeting that I should have been at, but wasn't invited to last week. Then the coworker was stupid enough to basically tell me what she tried to do (basically she made a mistake and tried to make it sound like it could have been me, or her, who knows?)
9 more weeks... 9 more weeks...
At home, SO doesn't want to help with anything and is always minimizing why I'm stressed. Hes also fighting me about taking time off from work (like he did with DS). My mom just doesnt know how to be an adult and blames everyone else. I yelled at DS this morning out of frustration because he wouldn't listen and I was running late for work. I feel like shit about it and cried on my way to work because of it.
I've had a headache since I woke up yesterday and haven't been able to shake it with sleep, water, caffeine, or food. I was hoping it was just exhaustion-induced, because we stayed at a hotel Fri & Sat nights, and it had one of the worst beds I've ever slept on. It was also a brand-new, pretty swank hotel that's $500 on weeknights (we paid muchhhhh less for a weekend deal). I couldn't believe how terrible the bed was when everything else was so nice. But I took an hour nap yesterday when we got home, and I slept like 9 hours last night, so I guess it wasn't from lack of sleep. I never drink enough water when I work events, but I've been rehydrating like a champ, and that hasn't helped, either. I had my morning coffee and breakfast. I guess I'll eat more?
I'm so over cooking. With the kids home all summer and increased appetite of my son I feel like I'm cooking much more often. I'm tired and my hip, back and pelvic pain make standing for cooking/food prep super tiresome. I cook mostly from scratch and even my easiest meals usually take at least an hour. Arghhh! I've slept most of the day today so my kids have survived on fruit after having breakfast. We still haven't actually eaten lunch and it's 3pm as I type...
@lolo_0924 I dont think it's a selfish bf. If someone's going to throw you a shower and it has to be at your house they should still at least help clean it and get everything ready/set up!! Maybe people bought off the registry too?? I'm sure itll be great!
So no, not selfish... at least I hope not, because I'm with you. (And they likely won't get anything on my registry because they don't get it, so I hope it's not all stuff I can't use.)
@lolo_0924 and @hannaht8516 definitely not selfish! Despite that I hope you both enjoy your showers!
It is totally inconvenient for people to throw parties at your house, the cleanup before and after! My kid's birthday party will be when I'm like 37 weeks pregnant, there is no way I'm doing it at my house!
I failed my 1 hour glucose, now the OB wants me to do the 3 hour. I really hope I pass because having GD last time sucked! Also, I have no time to actually take the test until August 25th so I’m sure that will go over well with the OB. I’m honestly thinking about switching. I don’t care for her bedside manner and today when I went in she asked if I had decided whether I was going to try for a VBAC, when she said that I wasn’t allowed to. I reminded her that she told me I couldn’t and she said she’d have the surgery scheduler call me to set up a RCS...which has also already been scheduled. I had to tell her the date and time for that. Then remind her to see if I passed my glucose test. The visits feel very rushed, so much different than the midwives from DD’s birth. I miss that group of women dearly.
