~Mad Mondays~
Let's here it, ladies. What's making you angry? driving you crazy? SPILL IT.

Re: ~Mad Mondays~
- I'm sick of comments about Robbie's hair. Seriously, I get it. It's long. You know what? I don't care. When it really started growing in, it was really curly and cute. I was hoping it would grow into ringlets, but it didn't. It's getting straighter and finally started to bother him, so yes, I will get it cut. But that means taking him out to a germ filled salon, so I haven't really rushed right out. And he's 1 1/2. WHO THE HELL CARES IF HIS HAIR IS LONG?
-Puke. I'm tired of puke. I'm going to say it again. I'm tired of puke. We really had a good grip on the reflux for a while, he was spitting 2 or 3 times a week, but the last few weeks, he's puking 2 or 3 times a day again. And almost every single night at 2am. He's 20 freaking months old. ENOUGH WITH THE FARKING PUKING.

I'm still mad at the ILs for their lack of um... being nice to me. If I (or god forbid "we") think there's something that should or should not be because of our daughter's safety, I don't care what you think, shut your mouth and respect it.
Aside from my newly discovered hair issues (which I'm more embarrassed about than angry) that's about it in a nutshell.
My hair falling out- we are all waking up with Beachy hair in our mouths- sooo grosss!!!!
Also, not knowing whats coming. DH and I have some major decisions to make, and I have no clue what we will do...
Hmm...since we finally got the okay to d/c the apnea monitor, the thing I'm most mad about right now is NPR. The city my parents live in recently passed a "dangerous dogs" law that is breed specific. I'm headed to tonight's city council meeting to defend my dog who is NOT dangerous. Since I don't live in that city, it doesn't affect me directly, but these ridiculous laws are getting closer and closer to home. They're ineffective and stereotypical. Ralphie is the biggest pansy of a dog I've ever seen! And he LOVES DD so I'm especially pissed.
I'm mad at my DH today. He left me for 5 hours yesterday to go hunting and will go all this coming up weekend....ARGH....I have NEVER left DS with him for more than 2 freaking hours. He has had more 'breaks' than I can remember...and yes, I know I get to SAH now, and I'm very thankful- but don't I deserve a girls weekend or something?
I can't even find 45 freaking minutes in the day to exercise....my doctor is finally weaning me off of bp meds but he wants me to walk 45 minutes a day to release some serotonin to help with the transition. Well it turned 40 degrees here again this week so too cold to take DS for a walk and DH needs help with everything when he gets home...so hence I can't even find the time to exercise by myself unless I want to get up at 4am-- ughhhhhh!!!
Thanks, Trish..I needed to vent about this. I can't complain IRL b/c DH just rolls his eyes, so it felt good to get off of my chest! DS and DH are my priority- but I NEED time for myself too, you know:?!
I'm mad at the way things are going with DH right now. I'm not allowed to say anything critical because he's tired of hearing it. Yet, I'm supposed to do everything and now take care of his messes. Apparently I now have two children. I'm to a point where I'm completely fed up.
I'm also mad that we have to have DS evaluated with a feeding team this week. I just want him eating like a normal child. Is that too much to ask? He's been in therapy since August and made zero progress and I feel like our therapist is a quack yet she's supposed to be the "best".
And, I'm mad that every doctor and therapist that we see for DS is he!!-bent on finding something wrong. Enough already! Yes, he's delayed but he's making progress so drop it! Just let him grow up! There's nothing wrong with him other than he is a growth-restricted preemie and he just needs some time. I feel like they are using us to make money and that pisses the he!! out of me.
It's all rsv related today. Everyone I've talked to in the last few days can't understand why I'm upset that DS has "a cold".
Today was supposed to be his first appointment at the NICU's high risk infant follow up clinic and we had to cancel b/c he was sick. Then while calling to cancel his appt, the nurse I talked to asks me, "aren't you getting him his synagis shots"??? Um, yes, but he got it anyway.
I'm sick of having a bad cold and not being able to take anything really good for it, because i'm pregnant. On that note, I'm also sick of dh making comments about the state of our house right now. Well I'm sick, Jonathan is getting over having rsv. The house will look like trash for a little while, deal with it!
On another note, I'm also getting super annoyed with the comments about Jonathan and the new baby being so close in age. So what if we didn't plan it, I really don't care if someone else feels it will be hard on us for the first year. Having a preemie has been hard. If the second baby goes full term, he or she will already been a little easier than Jonathan was at first.
I'm sick of my MIL telling me she thinks I over feed my babies. They're healthy and good eaters so yay for them! They need the fuel so that they can keep growing, so back off! It drives me insane.
I also am annoyed that people keep telling me "they're bigger so their immune systems are normal, you can do whatever you want with them." Um, no. RSV may be a bad cold for full term babies, but as WE all know, it could put us in the hospital. Therefore I take very few chances and don't go out much.
Would your family be more receptive if you had a small party another time, or are they really stuck on the end of this month? I didn't want a shower either, and I wound up having one. Good luck to you! Your little boy is so sweet!
I tried everything to get them to change it. I suggested a small dinner with close family or even doing the big shower earlier in February. They just don't get it. My Aunt is busy all other times and she is one of the hostess's. For some reason her schedule has superceded mine. I am sure this will end up going better than I think. I am just in a bad place right now.
Thanks I think he is precious too but I might be biased!
I had a horrible morning.
I'm so so so tired.
I want DS to stop.gagging.
I'm trying to make some decisions about things and I hate it.
Ok, let's open this can of worms. I am angry that I started back to grad school and have NO time to do my work. I have childcare to go to classes, but have HOURS worth of work to do at home that I cannot complete. I actually failed a quiz last week. I know it's just one and I shouldn't stress but I feel like I just can't be both a mom and a student.
I also hate that DH planned a big weekend this weekend past with his sister then a party at his friend's house, etc and we left on friday night and got home last night at 9. So now I have class tomorrow, a paper due, Francie won't nap, and as we speak she is pulling on my hair as I type.
Damn! YOU STOLE MY STUFF! hee hee hee.... We're in the same boat as usual.
Here's another one instead.... I'm sick of people without multiples giving me parenting advice on how to deal with things. Sorry ladies, and you know I love you all and probably know what I"m talking about with regards to this complaint, but sometimes there is absolutely NO COMPARISON, it's just different when there are two of the same age. But when you only have one, full term, healthy baby you can not POSSIBLY understand my day or what I'm dealing with.
I actually don't know what you're referencing, but anyone who thinks they truly understand another person's experience is just plain wrong.
I used to have (notice the past tense) who was notorious for saying "I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN!" Um. no. you don't. her son was IUGR, and small.. yes. But you know what? He was 100% meeting his milestones, 100% eating GREAT, and he never threw up.. like.. ever.. So much that when he had a week (A WEEK) of reflux when he was close to 6 months old, she was hysterical.
now, don't get me wrong, your kid starts puking out of nowhere, that's unsettling.. But then to give me the "I know exactly how you feel." Uh.. no. you don't. Talk to me in a freaking YEAR. After your child has been hospitalized for not thriving, had surgery to put a HOLE IN HIS STOMACH through which we now feed him.. Talk to me when he's too sick to his stomach to roll over at a year old..
Grrr.
Ooh.. I'm biitchy today. I just realized.

I am mad today for a whole bunch of reasons.
The ILs visited this last weekend. MIL stank our house up like old lady and it's really gross. Seriously, what in the hell does she do in our guest room to make it smell like a nursing home?!?! AND FIL was in bed by 730 Saturday night, which meant he was up at 4am Sunday morning - and he woke the kids up. The kids didn't nap yesterday because they were seriously overstimmulated, and we didn't get them down for bed until 2 hrs past their normal bedtime. Fffing FIL, what in the HELL makes him think it's okay to put on his shoes and pace up and down the hallway in front of the twins' open bedroom door at 4 am?!?!? And the poor kids couldn't nap today because they're running on adrenaline from FIL being a douche all weekend. ::shakes fist at stinky, stupid ILS::
AND I'm FURIOUS with myself because I just realized I made a mistake on our 2008 taxes, and since I didn't save the Turbotax data file onto our computer I have to basically re-do the 2008 taxes to fix the mistake. GAH!!!!!!!!! But the good news is we'll get some money back from the Feds after I fix the mistake, so that's actually kind of awesome.
NPR - my husband going away for a couple months for his new job. I like my life as it is right now and don't want it to change but I know the new job is best for our future.
PR - everyone telling me Brendan will talk when he is good and ready. Guess what that may be true but I , his father and his doctor are concerned so we are doing something about it to make sure it's not a bigger problem.
I'm having some issues with a best friend. We've been friends for 19 yrs. The rest of us have grown up, but she can't seem to. Its hard trying to decide if you should 'break up' with someone that is like your sister because your friendship is no longer healthy. I just wish she would grow the eff up-it would make things so much easier!
I'm tired of being covered in snot. I'm pretty sure Reese has had a cold since she started daycare and its getting old.
now I'm irritated because I realize I spelled "hear" "here" in my OP. GRR.

NPR: I am struggling with the same thing. MY (supposed) BFF is just kind of stuck in HS life still and I know I have moved on. I barely see her but I think we need to break up.
