Monday Morning Vents

Anyone?

LoCarb · June 2013

I'm exhausted and in month end this week. I'm not looking fwd to the longer hours, additional responsibilities and stress.

I can NOT get over last night's episode of Game of Thrones.

Seriously. Not cool.

Oh, and I'm tired- but what else is new? ;-)

I got a rather nasty case of food poisoning or something Thursday and I am still nauseous. And really tired of it. My coffee looks completely unappealing and that is just sad.

This may be your vent but I look at it as an easy way to lose a dress size. Wink My growling belly is jealous of your appetite suppression.

or something? pg?

Monday is playing a very cruel trick on me today and I am not amused. My Keurig isn't working this morning, and no coffee = something similar to this:

I'm going to descale it and pray.

I am waaay behind on the series, but I yelled at the books a lot. It was pretty funny for DH.

Also way behind on the TV series (don't have HBO, need to wait until DVDs are on netflix). But I have read the books and I can guess by all the FB "OMG" posts of what last night's episode involved. Yeah, it hit hard when reading the books too.

This is me too, but add in 11 weeks pg, m/s, and pregnancy insomnia kicking my butt...

ETA: Oh and I need to unpack my desk today because we finished our office expansion and packed everything for the movers to move to our new spaces over the weekend.

DH went to Starbucks before dropping LO at DC and heading to the airport. Awesome right? Nope. He only got himself coffee and said he was "too rushed" to get one for me. Really? Does it somehow make the drive through slow to order two drinks, not one?

The girls are in camp 9-3 this week. I have some schedule flexibility, but I also have standing calls at 7:30, 8:30 and 3:00 on various days. I have done some crazy stuff to get the schedule sorted out for drop offs and pick ups and just pray I survive this week. On the upside this is DD5yrs first camp and she is SO excited!

Today is my first day back from maternity leave. DD2 was up at 1, 2:30, 4, and then 6:15 for the day. DD1 was up at 3. They totally tag-teamed us last night.

But despite being exhausted, I'm glad to be back. I missed work. I was restricted to working from home from 35 weeks on, and I had DD2 at 39 weeks. Aside from coming in for one meeting last month, I've been gone a long time. I missed the interaction. And the kids are with our awesome nanny, and I know they're being cared for by someone who loves them and who has many many years of childcare experience.

We are still unpacking from a recent move, so I'm kind of glad to be out of there.

jlaOK · June 2013

I am 37 weeks pregnant and therefore walking the fine line of having absolutely no motivation to be at work but also trying to finish everything up before I go on maternity leave.

Netty_3 · June 2013

I caught a cold...and I'm just really hoping I haven't passed it along to the rest of the fam...and I really hope I get over it before vacation. We have so much to do before it, and I cannot be out of commission.

This is on behalf of my DH b/c it was kind of sad but i giggled.

I am WFH today and I heard the kids running around upstairs (i'm in the bottom floor basically a closet for an office) having fun but being nutty. I went up to get a drink and DH was saying to DS, hurry up or you'll be late for camp buddy! I looked at DH and said, camp is Tues-Fri; not today. The expression of pure disappointment on DH's face was priceless. I shouldn't laugh but i couldn't help it. They are all off at toddler story time at the library right now...

My husband sends me emails with huge lists of everything he's got going on for like the next month and a half. I'm then expected to memorize that and never forget that he has something planned for this Tuesday night despite him telling me that like six weeks ago and never mentioning it again. It drives me insane.

Oh heck no! If DH went to sbux and didnt get me any i'd be furious!

Also, what camp is this? I thought camp was over 4yrs old or something...I'd love to put DD in camp!

DH made me this sausage breakfast burrito and now I have a stomachache. I'm also getting a headache because I haven't had my coffee. I don't want to make my stomach hurt more but I need coffee!

Today is my first day in my new position at my job. I have zero work to do. They kind of complained because I am coming over a month later than they wanted but now I have no work? Umm ok.

I know this sounds ungrateful but people keep buying Lillian like fancy stuff, sparkly shoes. She's one and is in DC full time. I really have no use for this kind of stuff. I'd rather this be bought when she's older and likes to dress up or something. I already exchanged one pair of sparkly purple shoes....

Hope you feel better Librarychica! FP is no joke. I had it in Ocotber and after 3 days of nauseau I went to the doctor for some zofran. Gatorade was the only thing that made me feel better.

My team has been effectively without a lead for over a year and I've been trying to ensure that our deliverables are completed on time and done well, but it's all been peer-to-peer interactions and my counterpart isn't super engaged; has a lot of out-of-work commitments and hasn't adjusted to new management's preferences. So I can either evenly divide the work between us and just accept that some of it will be sub-par or I can take it all on myself. I've been trying to carefully manage the situation for the past year but my portfolio keeps growing and I can't keep running this ship solo. I'm struggling with how to bring this to our director's attention - I don't want to rat out my coworker, who I otherwise like; I don't want a huge chunk of my portfolio given to some one else; I don't want to come off as a whiner, but I just don't have the authority to manage this effectively.

I was and actually am pretty cranky about the coffee thing.

The camp is for school age - I have three kiddos, 9, 5 and 1. Still have to drop DS at DC too, so trying to figure out what is the most efficeint way to work in the mornings before camp drop off - with DS here or getting everyone dressed up and out to drop DS then returning home to work. UGH!

DD had a really hard and painful BM last night. So this morning when I dropped her off, I let MIL know about it and that I had given her prunes with dinner to try to help soften things up for today. She proceeded to tell me that the reason DD has hard stool is because we feed her too much "adult" food and that we should give her more baby food. WHAT?!?! SERIOUSLY!?!? We should regress her eating back to being a baby? She hasn't had baby food since she was like 13 months old. How bout you, MIL, stop feeding her bananas every other day? grrrrr.....

If your MIL from another country? Mine was really opposed to us feeding LO non-purees and it seemed somewhat cultural on her part.

BTW - I find that sitting the potty helps DD when she's blocked up, just seems to be a more comfortable position in which to do one's business.

Haha I do that to DH. Of course I do mention it at least 3 times closer to the date but he still forgets.

We had this problem a lot too. We now share our google calendars with each other and this has solved a lot of arguments. Also share with a few friends so that it's easier to plan things.
