I just need to vent a little & thought someone else might like to too!
This week's constrenation - the in-laws. We're bending over backwards to meet up with DH's family (mom, grandparents & his bros) for a day and they are making it extremely difficult! I want E to spend some time with DH's family, but geeeeeeeez, work with me here.
My FFF - families with children & toddlers trump single males on driving distance & whining. We're planning to drive almost 3 hours EACH way in 1 day and they can't even do a 90 minute drive ("it's too far"). Selfish much?!

Re: FFF
I'd be pissed too jules!
I haven't cleaned my house in a long time and I kinda don't care. Maybe we'll get to it this weekend.

I am completely wrapped up in the Jason Young trial. DH knows him (not super well, but they hung out in the same crowd in college), and I know yesterday's witness (her sorority sister... again, not well, but knew her in college). I guess those associations have left me feeling connected in a weird way, and compelled to watch.
Thinking of their little girl, who was Holly's age at the time of the murder, kept me up last night. When I read of her asking her aunt for a washcloth and bandaids for her mommy's booboos, I basically sobbed at my desk. I need to stop watching...
Jason's family is basically a part of my DH's...so we have been wrapped up in it from the beginning. MIL and some of the fam are at the trial for the whole thing...it's a big ol' mess. Poor Cassie
She's such a sweet little girl!! I hate that she's being put through all of this mess.

ME TOO! DH started crying when he told me about that same paragraph with the boo boo's. It is just heart breaking and makes me sick to my stomach. When I worked at the NC Bar Association, I handled Fee Disputes and Michelle's mother actually came in to meet with me regarding a dispute she was filing against her attorney who represented her while trying to get visitation of the grandchild. I will never forget her looking at my wedding photo and asking me if I had children/daughter and I said no, but I have a niece (dumb response). Now knowing what it is like to have a child, I can't imagine the pain she must have been in.
We're staying with my folks this weekend and I needed to run a quick errand this morning and asked mom if she'd keep an ear out for Wy while I ran out but that he should stay asleep until 10:45 and I'd be back before then.
I get home...she woke him up at 9:45 and then was feeding him a snack at 10:45 so of course he didn't want the lunch I'd just gotten for him. Now he's ridiculously cranky.

I want this kid out now. I know we haven't even hit her due date yet, but I'm ready to meet her and I'm ridiculously uncomfortable. I feel super guilty about it. I'm also tired of all the knowing smirks when I walk by everyone in my office. Almost like a "ha ha, you're still pregnant".
Also, I'm just tired.
//end whine
I know it is hard to believe but you are going to be 1000% more tired and still not comfortable for many months after the baby is born. Hang in there and hopefully things will start moving quick.

Preface this vent with the following: My mom moved down here to be closer to the grandkids. She watches Zachary T / TH so she can spend more time with him. I am very happy she wanted to do this and am thrilled she is down here but...
Seriously - don't complain to me about how tired you are every single day! I have not gotten more than 5 hours of sleep in a row since before Zachary was born and I am flippin exhausted. Do not complain to me about how the dog got you up at 7am to pee and then you went back to bed. I've been up since 4am and haven't complained yet (probably b/c i'm too tired to talk!).
Oh and don't compare my DH to my dad - they are NOTHING alike. Everytime DH does something to annoy me - don't say "well - just like your father." I want to put duct tape over her mouth sometimes!
Whew - I feel better now!
nlsanchez is right! The PP period is what I'm dreading like crazy. I'm hoping it'll be easier this time around, but I'm prepared for hard. Whatever sleep you're getting right now, savor it b/c it's a luxury when you have a NB!
Also, I think it's silly if people are thinking something along the lines of you "still being pregnant". You're not at 40 weeks yet. If you make it past 40 weeks, then someone can say, "You're still pregnant!?" That's JMO though : )
Unfortunately I've been getting the "you're still pregnant?" comments for about the last month... I don't understand it either.
I was doing great until it got ungodly hot and humid. Now I'm just ready to be done.
I just googled that trial. I think I heard about it back when it happened, but I didn't know the trial was going on. Just like you with a 2 YO, I feel the same way about the little girl asking for bandaids and a washcloth for her mommy's boo boo. i'm so sad for that sweet LO. Whoever did that is a monster!

I don't know if the legal world is similar to the medical world, but are there not any privacy laws in the legal world????
I just saw this so I thought I would respond. The fee dispute program is a volunteer program offered free from the NC Bar Association (a voluntary organization) NOT the North Carolina State Bar (a mandatory organization), they don't give legal advice, etc. It is just a review of fees that the lawyer charged and then a decision is made by a volunteer lawyer. No legal advice is given and there are no charges or fees given, so no, there would be no privacy laws.
