Re: ***whine wednesday***
After 13.5 months AF reared her ugly head. She's an even bigger b!tch than I remember. I hate the way I feel when I'm PMSing.
Last week I whined about my ILs taking Stella to see Sesame Street Live w/o DH & I. Stella saw a commercial for it and her eyes lit up and she screamed "Abby!" Now I'm even more disappointed that I can't be there for her first show.
Stella is back in her "it's going to take me an hour to fall asleep at night or for naps" phase. It's not horrible b/c it's not like she's crying or anything, but the girls needs her sleep! We have the same routine every night so I have no idea what the problem is.
Evan would not go to sleep last night... he was just laying in bed kicking his covers off, calling me in for no reason etc. He fell asleep around 11, and then he was up at 4am. He told me it was "wake up time, let's read books!" I got him to lay back down but he started yelling for daddy. DH went in and finally got him to go back to sleep around 6... but then his alarm went off at 6:45 (just as I was falling back to sleep!)
I think it's going to be a whole pot of coffee kinda day! And maybe some Starbucks while I'm out running errands!
I meant to respond when you posted about the SS thing before. I'm the exact same way. The Fresh Beat Band is coming to PA mid March and my SIL offered to take J and I said no, since I knew I would very likely miss it and wouldn't let that happen for her first show, lol.
Oh and J takes for-freaking-ever to fall asleep for like the last month and I'm so tired of it. Basically, I want her to go to sleep so I can!
Here's mine: There was a job possibility for next September and I kind of know the Principal so I emailed him yesterday asking about applying. He emailed me back a super nice email and said they're filling it internally. I am so frustrated and tired of there being absolutely nothing. Monday and Tuesday both sucked, today has got to be better.
I guess mine is kinda dumb-
we had no cable or internet all night from like 8:35... 1/4 of the The Biggest Loser didn't DVR and neither did Storage Wars. Lame!
When I called there was just an automated msg about an outage in my area and that they apologize.
I cannot find a comfortable place or position to sleep in. This is not hindering me from sleeping, it just means that when I get up to switch sides or go to the bathroom, I am in horrible pain and have to hold on to the wall to walk to the bathroom. I feel like I am 90.
Also, I must be a special kind of stupid, because I cannot get a nasal aspirator to work on C at all, so I just don't see the point in pinning her down and getting her all riled up when nothing comes out anyhow.
I hope that I am more able to breathe properly once I go into labor. I don't really want to be bringing the new baby home to a sick house and I don't really want to be in labor on top of feeling sick. Actually, I am not really looking forward to the whole labor part at all, every time I think about it I get knots in my stomach and all I can think about is "man, I really don't feel like doing this again." I know once it starts, your adrenaline gets going and kind of takes over, but right now I just feel tired and lazy and kind of dreading it.
Get the nosefrieda! Bulb suckers, well....suck!
My whine (aside from my cold vent below) is I am hating my appearance. I am fat and it isn't baby. Something the size of a lime would not make me have a big but and double chin. I also have the belly like I swallowed a cantaloupe. Yuck
I hate my hair too. I got it cut on new years eve and have hated it ever since. I showed her a pic and asked if we could do it. She said yes but didnt even style it like the pic. It has shorter layers and a pain to do. I need a root job already and don't have the energy to do it.
My face is breaking out something terrible as well. Ugh, why is pregnancy so hard on me?
Thanks for letting me whine.
I second the nosefreda! DD used to scream and fight the bulb syringe and it wasn't very effective anyway. She loves the nosefreda and asks to use it even when she is not sick. The snot gets no where even near the tube, so there is really 0% chance of it getting in your mouth.
And I was having back and hip pain before having ds. The moment I had him all that went away. I walked out of the hospital with no pain (in that area haha) for the first time in at least a month. I hope you have a good experience too. My body bounced back soooo much faster than the first delivery.
Ok, thank you for saying this. I was trying to remember and I keep asking DH, "Did my back stop hurting right away after DD was born?" but neither of us could remember. Funny the things you forget right?
i think i am having a midlife crisis. Work is getting stressful and it doesn't seem there are opportunites to get promoted. In my little fantasy world I think how nice it would be to work with my mom(even though when she offered me the business 10 years ago I said no). I would take the kids to work with me and they could just run and play in her little house. I am having so much fun helping her and trying to do marketing. I just can't design at all. But I think I could just take some classes. I have to have some ability it's hereditary isn't it?
We are on month number 7 of unemployment. Things don't seem to be getting better. Dh applies to at least 20 jobs a week and never hears a thing.
The kids are better and for that I am thankful but they look bad. Ethan won't stop scratching and I am worrying if he is going to scar himself. I don't think these are like chickenpox where you get scars.
I think you could find a class. I always feel like most of floral design is getting some great magazines (or google images) and just putting your own twist on things. I think you have the personality and patience to be a business owner and that's most important.
I miss my DH!!! He has been gone for work since 1/8. I am tired & have been doing the whole single mom thing day in & day out. Tori hasn't slept through the night in months (well she finally did last night which was awesome!!) and I haven't had a break in weeks. I miss my friends...and wine...and the help DH gives when he's home.
I guess this is just practice for his deployment that starts next month
Evan just isn't listening...I know that it is the age, but it definitely wears on my patience. I have yelled at him a few times in the past two days, and I feel bad for that. He is great when we go somewhere, so I went to an indoor playplace and the mall yesterday and stay and play at our church today, just for some sanity for all of us.
Also his separation anxiety is still really bad. We are starting a class next Tuesday to try to address it. It is 45 min. once a week and it is to be for your LOs first time away from Mom and Dad. I hope that it helps him to get through this as nothing that we do or say is helping
. It breaks my heart.
Oh and the garbage trucks just went by and are making a ton of noise...PLEASE do not wake up my two sleeping boys.
The recovery from this c-section has been SO much worse than before. I'm 100% sure it's because of the "significant blood loss" (Dr's words) and the fact that I don't know how to sit still and let others do things for me. I am achy around the incision, and just worn out.
I'm so grateful that DH took 2 weeks off to be home with us, but I'm seriously wondering how I am going to handle both girls by myself next week if I don't feel any better.
