My fiance went to his uncle's house again yesterday to help finish a welding project. I decided I'd take a nap while he was gone and I figured he'd come wake me up when he got home like he always does. NOPE. He got home and decided to watch some TV downstairs and I ended up taking a FIVE HOUR NAP. It wasn't his fault, I should have set an alarm or something... but damn dude! If you know I've been asleep since you left, come and wake my ass up. Obviously, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because of my dumb "nap".
Last night I made steak fajitas. The trash had tons of steak bits in it. My dog is good about getting into the trash when it's in the bin, but my husband decided to take the trash out of the bin and just set it next to it. Woke up this morning and there is trash all over my dining room. 😒
I'm going to go ahead and confess that, at least during this pregnancy, chocolate has tasted like mana from the gods. DH went and found me a box of assorted chocolates from Godiva while grocery shopping yesterday. The box only had 9 chocolates - one of each kind. When I saw the box I was fully expecting a box full of several of each one, and so was he. Come on, Godiva. Don't do that to a pregnant woman.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
The closet saga continues. I am so peeved that it is almost done and yet he won'teven work on it (just needs the trim and paint.) I have never done this before but I have decided to withhold sex until it is done because nothing seems to be motivating him. I think I need to go my game though and start walking around naked or doing sexy things. Any ideas? 🤣
DH was on a work trip starting Wednesday last week. Then when he came home, he left right away for a stupid duck hunting trip that I had no previous knowledge about for the rest of the weekend - and I do NOT think this is a pregnancy brain issue. Then he leaves any moment for Louisville (I previously thought he was going to Nashville, but that was pregnancy brain...) until Sunday. That means I’m home alone with DS, who just started at a new daycare today, the dog, and 8 chickens. In addition to that, my algebra students have a final for me on Friday and my health kids all have physical fitness tests this week. Pray for my sanity!
I'm sitting here with 20 minutes left of my glucose test and its 1215. I got here at 830 when they opened but because they were so busy I didnt get to start until after 10. I am so HUNGRY. And between baby girl acting crazy in there and that stupid drink I'm super nauseous again.
I am picking up DD from school right now, and every damn day some idiot (or several idiots) messes up the flow of the "car line." It's the same every single day. How do people still not get this? It's January!
Here's something that is pissing me off. So my best friend is a financial planner. She was always bugging me to invest with her, but I never had any money to invest outside of my 401k at work. Then I married DH and we had a bit more money and kept the relationship with HIS financial advisor who is also his best friend. When DD was born in 2017, my best friend suggested that I set up a 529 college savings account. So I did through her and she explained to me that the best 529 plan to use would take 5.75% off the top of everything we put in the account, but not charge us fees on what we earned. DH's friend was PISSED when he heard that we were using her and this type of account setup. He explained that there are much better plans available through the state. I took it as he was just upset that we weren't using him.
Well, FIL also set up an account for DD and I logged into today and his account that he set up for her has only lost 5% of the value that he put in, while our account through my best friend has lost 20% of the value that we put in. I AM PISSED. Like she is my best friend, I trusted her and now I feel like I am being screwed. So now going forward all the monetary gifts we get for DD is going into the account that my FIL set up and we will be setting one up through the state for this next LO. I'm just thoroughly annoyed b/c I thought I could trust her to work in our best interest, along with our daughters- but I guess not.
@sleepy33 No because I am afraid that she is going to get defensive and start talking down to me about the stock market underperforming and accuse me of not being a good friend because I don't trust her. We didn't have a ton of money in there- mostly just the birthday checks that she got and a few other odds and ends here and there. Eventually, she may realize we aren't putting money in there and say something to me at which point I will say that we started investing in FIL's account since it has better return and leave it at that. Who knows maybe this account will end up having great returns and I will be annoyed I didn't put more money into it.
Dh is in San Antonio for a conference and keeps sending me back pictures of all the delicious food he is eating. Now I want Tex mex so bad it’s all I can think about. I am so jealous!
I finally got a snoogle that I'm borrowing from my SIL, as I borrowed one for my first and second as well. So I'm thrilled to finally be able to get comfortable to go to sleep. But.........I've got such a crick in my neck that I've had now for two days that's driving me crazy!!! I can't twist it out, DH isn't the best at those types of things, and my TENS unit can't get it deep enough without shocking the life out of me. It's limiting my neck mobility and I'm *over it*.
@chloe97 I'd be so mad!!! We live in one state but use another state's plan because it's better. I did a bit of researching when we were setting up DS's and it was weird/interesting to see how they are different
My two best friends and I have a group chat between the three of us chat daily. One of the two goes offline every week for a day when her husband is off work for family time. Well I noticed today that it's been 3-4 days since I've heard from her so I reached out to make sure everything is ok as she is also pregnant, has some high risk concerns this pregnancy and struggles with depression. So I sent a message saying hey I noticed you've been offline more than usual I just wanted to make sure you are ok. Let me know if you need anything. I finally got a super pointed message back about how she needs space to deal with her own stuff and can't take on anyone else's problems right now. Kinda of hurtful when I literally only asked how she is doing with no mention of myself of anything going on in my life. Anyway I responded I'm here if you need anything and closed our convo. Now she's messaging me not an hour later about a baby wrap she bought.
@cwell2016 so thankful this is my second and have zero plans for even a sprinkle party at this point. I do love the free diapers, but I love missing out on all that planning and drama more! Good luck to you! I wish you champagne 🍾 at your birth for getting through it all!
My bitch fest is for this stupid Go Fund Me that was started to help fund the border wall, which has raised approximately $18.5 million. There is so much good that money could do, but instead, all it's doing right now is improving Go Fund Me's profit margin. It can't be donated to DHS without Congressional approval, and if it's donated to the government generally, it will be allocated however the Treasury decides, and not to the wall. I suspect instead it will just end up in the pocket of the guy who started it, but that's maybe my cynical side showing.
Right @eatinwatermelonseeds ? I mean, to be fair, the guy who started it is a vet with multiple service-related injuries, and I like to think this wasn't his end goal and that it's just something he happens to believe in passionately. He probably never imagined it would raise this much. But the whole thing is just so stupid and relies heavily on the current administration's complete suspension of reality, it's just infuriating. Much like all of the repeated promises about how Mexico would be paying for this wall, except oh wait, now it's the US taxpayers that are supposed to foot the bill. But that's a separate bitch...
@sleepy33 and in the meantime he's digging his heels in and government workers aren't getting paid for the work they're doing or are out of work completely. 😒 If this becomes a full shut down, over $3000 of our monthly pay is gone.
It's infuriating @eatinwatermelonseeds. I have a bestie who is a contractor for BIA, and I guess contractors have no guarantee they'll receive back pay and a lot of them don't, so they will just never get that money back. Which for a lot of people, especially those who are hourly employees, can be financially devastating. Luckily, her husband just got a promotion and a raise, so I think they will be ok, but I know there's a lot of folks out there who aren't so lucky.
@sleepy33 it's terrible. We can be certain that we would get back pay if it ever came to that. When I was active duty, the DoD was affected by the shut down one year, thankfully not for long. I think it was about a week before we got our full pay checks. I can't imagine what people who are being affected by this now are going through. It's terrifying.
I wish I was more shady than I am..I could really use that kind of cash 😂
At this point I'm counting on saving a millionaire's life at some point and them feeling eternally indebted to me and end up giving me millions of dollars 😂
My husband just asked me to bring him food at work. Something he would never do for me (I've asked and he's said no). I've done it before and today I said no because I'm babysitting. He said "okay. I'll starve" and now he's ignoring me. Wtf dude, you're a grown ass man. Pack your own lunch, order something, take a break.. I'm not your mom, your maid, or your delivery service.
@mrsdee15 I don't want to add to the problems she's apparently dealing with. I just let her know I'm here to support her as always. It was just a shocking response to receive.
@eatinwatermelonseeds the only full shutdown that affected military pay I remember going through with my son's dad when we were still together our bank gave an advance of pay to the military people who had accounts with them knowing the money would come once the shutdown ended.
@fuscok88 there was one before that too. There was one I didn't get paid, and then there was one my bank paid me anyway. But I know what you're talking about.
I have a dead car battery. Like to the point that even if I jump it off, it's dead dead again as soon as I turn the car off. This week sucks and will end with me turning 30 Saturday. 😡
Lol @sleepy33 that gif is me to my kids like every day.
Im thankful we aren't effected by the shutdown as DH is Navy active duty. But I feel for the coasties who arent getting paid as another pay day approaches. The whining and arguing needs to stop and they need to figure this out for the sake of all the non politicians who are suffering!

@chloe97 I would be SO pissed. SO PISSED. I don't even know what my reaction would be if it wasn't possible to even talk about it with her.
@sleepy33 Just...
