I have a head cold. Its not awful, but bad enough to make me feel like crap. DH had a meeting today that I thought was over at 5 but it ended at 2. He had told me he had to stay at work until close so he could give his keys to someone so they could cover him since he has another meeting tomorrow. When we talked at 2, where he woke me up 5 mins after I managed to fall asleep after getting DS to sleep, he mentioned about just coming home then and driving out tuesday to switch keys (he'd have his asst manager give hers up instead). Got my hopes up that we'd have the afternoon together and then he decides he should go into work to help out.
GFIL is in the hospital, it was serious but he's doing so much better. Family came up from GA to visit and MIL and SIL have both invited us to dinner. I've ignored them because I'm waiting on DH to get back to me to see if he wanted to go. I can't do it myself. MILs house is only half baby proofed and has a large, open layout. I'm always stuck chasing him around and its just too much to do alone with a head cold and being pregnant.
Add to the fact that for Christmas, MIL got the grandkids (Liam, and my niece and nephew-who live with MIL) a climbing toy for her yard. SIL was let go and now SAH with the kids, meaning she gets complete anytime access to the toy, while I'd have to drive 20 mins over there just so DS can play. I know its just hormones and not feeling well, but I feel that my MIL is completely favoring my niece and nephew (and not just with the toy, but thats the catalyst to my current feelings).
Feel free to tell me to stfu, I know I'm whining and all, but hey, I did say it was a pity party.
Re: Pity party inside
Sorry it's one of those days/weeks! I've had plenty of my own little pity parties throughout this pregnancy and it makes me feel guilty/bad because I'm so lucky to have a healthy pregnancy with pretty much nothing to complain about in other areas of my life either.
We've got hormones and colds though- so we can be grumpy if we want! I hope you feel better soon and that GFIL continues to improve!
Colds are never fun to begin with. Add pregnancy & the slew of other things you have on your plate & that makes for a frustrated wife, mother & overall person.
I hope your horrible day gets better.. or that one or all of these problems go away!
