*~*Monday b!tchfest*~*

I've noticed that we're one of the few boards who doesn't partake in this weekly ritual.

That's great that everything is going so well in our lives. I don't even know if I have anything to add to the post, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case.

It does feel better to let it go, ladies.  My AMB does this every Monday.  So, here is what I shared with them this morning. 

We are (FINALLY) refinancing our house.  MIL feels the need to tell me how to refinance our house - thanks, I worked in mortgages for 5 years - I've got it covered.  So, DH puts together all of the paperwork and heads out the door this morning with all or the original paystubs & tax returns.  I stopped him dead in his tracks and told him I'd make copies at work.  He didn't comprehend that giving it to the mortgage guy did not mean he was the only one to touch it.  I had to walk him through processors, underwriters, and loan reps and explain the process.  His first question after the explanation:  oh, we need to get them the quit claim for my mom to come off title.  I tell him that happens at closing - he tried to argue that it will come up in the credit check.

I love my blue collar hubs, but good heavens sometimes I wonder if there are 3 brain cells fighting for control up there.

As previously stated in another thread, I am sick and tired of these awful headaches. Thankfully DH is home on paternity leave right now, so he can play with DD while I'm incapacitated, but I have no idea what I'm going to do when he goes back to work. I'm already worrying about how I'm going to cope. They need to stop.

I don't have anything to vent about (right now) really...but I am pre-venting about all the belly touching I will get from RANDOM's at church once we announce we are pregnant Thursday to the world and people start finding out.....our church is HUGE and because my husband is on staff as the youth pastor/director everyone "feels"
 like they know us....I don't like anyone touching the bump but DH....even family...it's just weird to me..........and I KNOW random people will try...I just know it and it already peeves the CRAP out of me.......I wish I was blunt enough though to just tell them not to!!

Do you have bad allergies or allergies in general?  I ask because I had horrific migraines during my pregnancy with DD and found out after the fact that it was most likely due to my allergies.  Nothing helped with those headaches - the combination of Tylenol and Benadryl, suggested by my doc, along with a dark room and a cold compress or ice pack on my head basically kept them to a dull constant sting.  I feel for you.

Oh, and another one - we're currently on an extended visit to my parents (we usually live in another country). We've started doing time-outs for DD when she does things she's not supposed to, and the other night when she again tried to pull the fan's plug out of the outlet, my mom said, "Looks like it's time to start slapping her hand." I said, "We're doing time-outs for discipline." Her: "Well it's not working." Me: "I don't think any method of discipline works instantly on a 16 month old, and I'm not going to hit her. Soon she's going to get into the hitting/biting/kicking phase, and we're going to have to explain to her that's not right." Mom: "I'm not talking about hurting her, just a little slap." Me: "I know, but then when she hits, will it be ok if it's 'just a little slap'?" Mom: "Well..." Me (interrupting, a little loudly): "I'm not going to hit her, Mom!" Sigh. Really, if you want to give your kids a swat on the bottom, that's your decision. I thought I would, but now that it's coming down to it, I'm realizing that I don't think I can and still maintain the moral high ground. It just really got to me that she was trying to push me into it. Grrr.

I accidently slammed my head into the closet doorframe this morning. >__< I now have a headache and a bump on my head and would give anything to be at home in bed instead of at work.

 Also, it was UNBEARABLY hot this weekend, which was so draining and miserable because we had to run errands and be at a family BBQ.

My MIL bought us a little shirt for the baby that is really ugly.

Wake me up when it's Friday...

Ok I do have one. We have a cat who has always been very quiet and timid up until the last few weeks. Lately he's been sitting outside our bedroom window every night meowing for hours and hours and hours. Seriously!?!?! He only stops to take a breath in between meows and he sits just beyond the range of the squirt bottle. It drives me nuts! You can hear him through closed windows and the fan. I've seriously considered taking the shotgun out and letting loose.

But then in the morning I feel bad for getting so angry, because I think he's just lonely. We had two other cats who've disappeared over the last 3 months, so maybe we just need to get him another friend to play with.

Oh joy Mondays! Ugh Let me start off by saying today just sucks. My throat is sore, I've had this annoying cough for what feels like weeks! At least 2 weeks and it won't go away, gets worse at night when I try to sleep. Yeah sleep that doesn't happen.

My poor 6 year old has pretty bad asthma that is usually under control and he's been waking up in the middle of the night needing his breathing treatment, well last night he woke up at 3:20am and came in and laid on our bed, I was hoping my DH would get up and give it to him because he know's i haven't been sleeping well but NOPE he snored away and of course my maternal instincts were to jump out of bed and get him his treatment asap so I was up the rest of the morning.

Oh and i'm irrititated because my DH is a class A driver for a local construction company and he gets laid off every year from usually the end of December till mid March when the ground thaws, so I'm already annoyed i'm going to be huge and pregnant waddling around work everyday while he gets to be home. On a good note he will be home helping me with the new baby after its born. Ohhh and he mentions every once in a while how he wants to go work for this company thats over the road monday - friday. And I swear if he actually goes (it'll be great because more money) i'll cry because I did NOT sign up to be a single mother! I'm just sick and tired and overwhelmed and being a stay at home mom and just struggling to make it looks better and better every dang day.okay thanks I needed this!

I second the headaches. It has gotten OLD. And I have a cold too. AND I woke up in a Monday funk today! Grr!

 Hahaha. Maybe you can accidentally misplace it in the next few months.

The last few days I've been feeling frumpy and looking like fatty boombalatty.  Ugh, come on cute baby bump.

Friday I got dressed for work and discovered that my scrub pants barely fit me and were really tight and uncomfortable. So I figured I'd go buy some maternity scrub pants on Saturday. I drove all the way across town (30 minutes) only to learn that of the three scrub stores I know of in town, only one carries maternity, and the only pants they had in my uniform color were 2XL. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I still need pants to wear, so I have to go back out and see if the stores have any elastic waisted pants that will work for now. It's a big pain in the butt.

Oh, and on Saturday after visiting the third scrub store without finding any pants, I sat in my car and cried.

I am sick and tired of work, and the people I work with.

I am the only one at my office/branch (smaller office of a large company) that has been trained in ANYTHING.  And i mean anything...they are all useless when it comes to doing anything, aside form telling me what to do.  Also, my boss is off so I cannot tell them yet I am expecting (I will have to if he is not back by the end of this month so they can hire someone for mat leave).

I keep trying to hint that they need to learn this shiiit so they can do it themselves, but what i'm really saying is "I will not be here much past january (assuming I am not off work earlier for some reason), and I will be on mat leave for a year.  SOMEONE will have to do this shiiit when i am away, geniuses!!"

ARGH.  I cannot wait for the day for my PG to be out in the open, and people to clue in that they may have to learn something....

Those were always the shirts that the spitup just wouldn't come out of... And now they are the ones that DD eats things like staining popsicles or paints in...

Thanks for the tip - I have allergies in May/June, but never this late in the year. I'm pretty certain they're coming from my TMJ (basically an inflamed jaw joint) because since yesterday it has also become really painful to chew food. Aleve helps, but obviously it's a no-go right now. I'm going to ask my OB if it would be ok to take it for a couple of days or whether she can recommend any other anti-inflammatories that are ok during pregnancy.

I feel trapped in my house! We have terrible wildfires burning in the Idaho area, and the whole valley that we live in is trapped with terrible smoke. I know I shouldn't be outside breathing that terrible air in, so I have been at home for the past 3 days! I will at least get to go to my yoga class tonight, I hope it makes me feel less like a recluse!

I'm sick of my headaches, and sick of eating a perfectly acceptable portioned meal yet feeling like I ate 6 times that amount, and I'm sick of all my new pimples every day that hurt so much, I have to wince when I'm washing my face. Bleh.

I am so glad this is here! I need to vent about this so badly. I tutor over the summer since I'm a parapro during the school year. I love the kiddos, they are great, but mom is another story. She's been ok this summer but has had a history of being late to drop off and then to pick up and also has cancelled out on me at the last minute and then not paid me even though I've already planned everything and budgeted my finances for that money. I let it go this summer because she's been pretty good and we only have 2 weeks left. But last week Thursday she came with a note saying we were switching the Tuesday session to Friday since her husband has the day off work and wants to take the boys out. First off, Friday is my day off, I'm not on call for you and you need to ask me if this is possible for my schedule, which it isn't since I already told you two weeks ago that I'm leaving for vacation on Friday. Second off, now I'm $100 short for my vacation since you are now taking that day away from me, which again I already put my time into by lesson planning. And, not only this but Wednesday she has informed me that the child I normally tutor for a half hour is going to be with me the whole 2.5 hours since the one I'm normally with for 2 hours is going to a birthday party. Again, I've already planned the week and didnt expect this at all so now I have to plan again. The worst thing of all of this is that I hate confrontation so even though I'm so mad about it I can't get up the courage to say a word to her. So in the end the most frustrating thing is that I know it's my fault because I let her get away with it.

Acne sucks. I'm so over it! Also my H informed me of his work schedule for the next couple of months and it looks like he will be OOT most of this month and next month. Sucks!

This! And people look at my stomach to see if I am showing. I want to scream, it's just fat because I've been eating like crap, but I hold it in and try to suk in my unflattering gut. Bring on the bump already!!!

I wish people would realize that I am pregnant, not disabled.  If I am tired at work, I will let you know.  Stop babying me like I can't do my work.

It drives me absolutely insane when DH blames me for him not finding something that he put away somewhere safe. This afternoon he spent about an hour looking for some papers he took off the bulletin board and "put away" and complained that I was no help finding them. Well duh buddy I have no clue where you put the dang things and you check the two only places I would have put them had I taken them off the bulletin board since they were important and we need to send them off again before the 15th. 

Anyway after not listening to my suggestions and complaining to me I got up from my supposed nap and looked for 2 minutes and found them wait for it..... In the electronics drawer. Why would you ever put insurance papers in with cords and batteries since we only ever go in there once in awhile.

Oh, owww!! That stinks!  I hope she can give you something or recommend something better than just suffering with it!

I think when someone touches your belly you should just put your hand on theirs.  That'll freak 'em out.
