Re: ~ **Monday Pity Party/B!tchfest** ~
We're debuting online progress reports. Grades were due by 8am this morning. At 8am, I was still missing 5 students from random classes (not bad considering I have over 800 students). They appeared aroun 9:30, and I was told to call the tech lady right then to fix the errors.... while I was in the middle of class. No! So I just spent half of my lunch fixing the grades, only to tell the secretaries (who have to print the report cards) that my grades are now all in, even though I'm pretty sure they don't care and won't re-print those students anyway.
And DH was annoyed this morning with Micah for getting up "so early" at 6am. Listen bucko, you're lucky he didn't get up at 4:30 like I expected. He's up. He's yours. Deal with it. (I leave for work at 6, and need DH up to take Micah if he's awake.)

Phew...that felt good.
I'm sure I'll have lots of great stories this time next week. I love other people's IL stories, so I'm sure some of you will love mine. :
EVERYTHING!! I hate going back to work!! I had a super short maternity leave and I feel like I never got to raise Miss H. My DH and mother have her from 7 am-5:30pm everyday...She naps from 6-7 and goes to bed at 9...I only get 2.5 hours with her every day!!
I hate it!! I want to quit my job!! Not to mention I get irritated at DH...he doesn't read to her...or sing with her...he just lets her roll around while he watches tv!! errrr if I were at home I would snuggle and read to her and play with her!!
yup this. My boss told me this morning he was going to take $700 out of my paycheck this week for somethign he effed up on. We got into a good argument and now I'm hot. Cannot stand my job/boss. Oh he also told me he was thinking about taking away my salary/base pay which is $25,000 of my pay, great day.
Ugh, why do guys do this. My DH has never read or song to DD, he usually does what she need and puts her down, I take advantage of every second I have with her and snuggle, play, read, and everything else I can do, frustrating!
OH.MY.GOD. Really? Your day is 100% worse than mine!
My DH too!! I'll ask him to play with her so I can do housework or pump, I walk downstairs and see him slide off the couch (where his as* was parked watching football or on his laptop) onto the ground so it looks like he was playing with her. I'm not blind or stupid!
My IL's are the same way with L but they live less than 30 min away. They complain that they "only see her once a week". This has been changing to every other weekend because of the crap I bolded above. It's so weird. I know they love her but they are like obsessed. And she acts different around them. She has never laughed and she doesn't "talk" or babble very much - like rarely. At my parents and brothers house she is normal. They get her laughing and talking. I don't like the ILs so maybe they feel the tension or they are trying too hard with her. I don't know.
Anyways, I wanted to join in on the vent. I didn't realize other people had relatives who "hog" the baby and take her into other rooms and act like we don't exist. I feel really uncomfortable even going up to her when they have her. With my mom I can just walk up and take her. I feel weird doing that around them. Yea, yea it's my baby but we have history of not getting along so it's just all sorts of awkward.
Oh yeah. When we were in MD back in August, we had a family get together at my ILs house and invited DH's aunts, uncles, cousins...all hadn't seen the baby and this would be their only chance to see him. Well, halfway through the party, I couldn't find DS. FIL had taken him into a different room and was just hanging out with him there. I mean, he had spent so much time with him on his own, and here was family that would probably only get to see DS once a year, and FIL took him into another room away from everyone? Ugh. I was steamed. I was like, "I think Aunt __ and Uncle __ would like to hold L, you can have alone time once all the family leaves." So many times during the party he tried to grab L and hold him, and some people hadn't had a turn. That is what our entire trip was like when we stayed at the ILs. I just don't want to deal with that again.
Another thing I can't stand, is when we walk downstairs for the morning with LO, and FIL or MIL will jump up from the kitchen table and clap their hands and say "Gimme!" I was like, "No, you need to say, Good Morning Chelsey first before you demand to take my child" haha. I mean, c'mon...it's like manners just disappear!
I miss many people who used to be here, but I guess I'm sad to hear that they aren't treating you well, and aren't posting much. You should come here more!
Vent: I'm having trouble keeping up with TB! I miss it.
Okay that's not really my vent. DD vomited 5 times in 2 hours on Fri, no fever, good all weekend. She woke up at 5am today (due to time change), so I showered quickly, only to feed her 3 oz and have her throw it up on my work clothes. MIL watched her today, but called DH to tell him she'd had diarrhea. Luckily, DH came home and brought her to Dr. It's just a bug. But, DH is in bed sick (6:45pm), and I think I'm getting it too. This week and next week just don't work for me for being sick, thanks!
Don't get me wrong! Everyone is treating me well on the private board. I think I just feel lonely right now because out new super indendent is crazy and me friends are afraid for their jobs so they don't have any free time to spend at all. I had drinks with a friend Sunday that I hadn't seen in four months. We used to talk every week and spend time together every two or three weeks.
On the other hand I'm really happy that I'm not teaching because of how crazy it's gotten.
As soon as we get to the ILs house they meet us at the car and FIL reaches his arms out immediately to take her from me. There have been many many times when they have not even said hi to us. DH jokes and says hi all sarcastically to them. I feel,used for my baby lol..but really it's odd. They walk around the house with her and if I go up to them there have been times where they will literally walk away from me while holding her. If they are playing on the floor with her and I sit down they like get all weird and quiet. God forbid I come up to my child. DH notices all of their weird behavior too. And another weird thing they do is that the toys I bring over (her favorites like Sophie and maybe 2 others) they will not hand to her if they are on the floor. They only hand the toys they bought for her and keep there. Idk it's all very bizarre. Ahhh in laws!
Been sick all weekend, Lo was up every 2 hours Sun night due to time change. Got up an hour early and couldn't survive the day, even though progress reports, field trip money and everything else is due. I stayed home, lo went to the sitter. I slept for 2 hours, found out my sil has two brain tumors and is in surgery, had lunch and went to the walk in clinic. Rehearsed for a big fundraiser on Friday, even though I can't sing or breathe. Got home, found out sil cancer is stage 4, put lo to bed, went to bed and woke up wide awake at 2am trying to breathe and comprehend everything. That's my rant. Now, maybe I can get to sleep...
I'm so sorry.

Thank you, really we are all still in shock and that pity party rant was just what I needed. I actually fell asleep!
So, thank you!
