Let's hear them!
Re: Monday B!tchfest 12/22
My mom started trying to guilt us all already for xmas next year. She has booked cabins in the dells for xmas for the past 3 years and is wanting to make it the family xmas tradition. I haven't spent xmas anywhere but home since 2010. My kids go to their dad's house the day after xmas for the rest of xmas break. DH gets xmas day off but not any other days around there. The text from her last night was that my aunts and uncles from texas are coming, maybe my grandparents, cousins and their kids and she wants everyone there together. Well, too damn bad. If they don't even attempt to work with our schedules, we won't be there. I told her DH won't have vacation time because he will be saving it to use when baby comes, and her suggestion was that we come without him. Yeah, fuck off. Not happening.
My whine is just that I don’t want to be at work. Everybody’s out of office is on so what is the point? I’m reminding myself I’ll be gone two days this week and all next week, but still, do not want to be here today!!!!
Woke up Sunday AM and something didn't smell right in the house. We had people over the night before and DH was definitely drunk. Well, I went to bed before he did so I woke him and asked if he cooked anything before he went to bed b/c the house smelled almost like melted plastic. He said no. Went downstairs and found out he ran the self clean on the oven b/c a little cheese from a pizza we made got on the rack. UGGGGH... I could have cleaned that by hand! Super annoying b/c we were having friends over for our annual cookie decorating that afternoon/evening and the entire house smelled AWFUL. And the worst part of it all, it made my nausea so. bad. I could hardly function all day.
I love him and, typically, the fact that drunk DH always gets productive and takes care of shit is great. It was not great this time!
@meanjellybean that sounds like a fun trip- why is it SO hard to talk schedules before booking and just expecting everyone to make that work?
@blaf322 DH doesn't clean while sober, there's no way he'd clean while drunk...sorry that happened, I can just imagine the smell!
And @blaf322 just thinking about the smell of melted/burnt cheese in an oven on self-cleaning mode makes me want to vom, so I can't imagine. But also I'm with the rest of the ladies, I wish my husband would clean when drunk. Last weekend our friends invited us out for a child-free night but since I have been decidedly un-fun these days, I told DH to go without me. He took full advantage and got drunk and slept on the couch when he came home (which I was fine with, he snores when drunk). But when I came down in the morning I found pretzel crumbs all over the couch and a random bag of trash just sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor
I recommend getting a Dyson cordless stick vacuum if you don't already have one. It's super easy to whip out, and, for me, makes me feel better if the cleaning ladies haven't been in a while and we're having people over.
@meanjellybean Yea, we opened some gifts and also H cleaned out his car which means parts of the car now live in the living room, plus I have a direct mailer for a fundraiser I need to send out today which has taken over the dining room table. Womp womp...
But, there are also things that end up working well b/c he's sooo freakin handy.... He finished building our kitchen table and all kinds of things like that, so I guess it's a give and take. Here's the kitchen table I'm super proud of (he built, I did the finish)
@meanjellybean lol... omg, I'd have been so salty about the crib thing!
Ugh... I'm so sorry you had a rough night! Have y'all tried melatonin? One of the girls on DD's BMB is on the spectrum and that's helped them some!
We're going to my IL's house for dinner/gifts on Christmas eve and I'm already dreading it. We have steak and crab legs every year and I already know I'm going to be able to eat exactly 0% of what she's making and I'll probably feel like garbage the whole time b/c, on top of the house smelling like meat and seafood I can't stomach, it'll likely be 8000 degrees in their small house. FML.
Also, if it's flu, I feel like you know it. I've had it and it's the worst I have evvvver felt. I got viral meningitis earlier this year and even that wasn't as bad as the flu. The flu makes you feel like actual death.
also, are you me? I am also dreading Christmas dinner at the in-laws for the same reasons. The steak, the lobster bisque they make every year (GAG), the freaking woodstove making it 100 degrees....AWFUL. Right there with ya.
@hbird0723 I think the lingering was what made it worse than the meningitis. With that, I had an uncontrollable headache for a couple of days and only one night with a high fever where I felt really horrible. Then I was fine. So the aches and pains for days with the flu was what made it worse.
I have a late BF, this actually happened last week but I'm still kind of mad. We live on a lane that circles around a center island thing, so it's one-way and narrow enough that cars can only park on one side of the street. Well, a big delivery truck was parked on the wrong side of the street, and I basically got stuck trying to get around it because they were too close to another car. I was in no way confident enough in my driving skills to fit through there, and I couldn't really back out or turn around by the time I realized it. Luckily MH was home that morning, so I texted him to ask if he could come pull the car through for me.
But while I was waiting, another delivery guy came out of the house, looked at the space, and tried to tell me I can fit through. "The guy down the street with a trailer went through earlier." I'm said, "OK, so he's a better driver than me." The guy kept trying to tell me it's fine, I was getting all teary and upset, and finally MH came over. He pulled the car through no problem, but the whole thing really pissed me off. It was definitely a tight squeeze. I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't been home.
Expecting again -- EDD 7/27/20
My bitch would have been wife went for MRI and due to her craptastic insurance they charged her $1286. This was Monday. She just paid it w/o checking. I do all finances. Umm, please text before spending a over a $1000 two days before Christmas. I had a pregnancy hormone meltdown when she let me find out while paying bills yesterday. Calmer today.
Also, sicknesses during pregnancy. Pregnancy comes with its own bag of fun, but a cold or flu on top of that is a special kind of torture.
