I actually have no twatwaffles in my life at the moment. Axing the mil from our lives has eliminated 90% of the drama around me. So Air out your twats.
@stephaniefine that blows. Is there a way he can stop mentoring until they produce his bonus? Or maybe they are waiting until its complete...either way not cool.
Mine is this GD diaper rash. I posted about it a couple of weeks ago and took her to the Dr. It turned out to be yeast, they gave us a cream and sent us on our way, great! Told us to apply heavily for about 6 days to make sure we got it all. Well the cream took care of the yeast but now she has a horrible diaper rash that is causing her so much pain. Back to the Dr. We went and I'm really hoping her suggestions work because diaper changes are agony it also doesn't help that this change to milk doesn't seem to be going well. Liquid poop hurts rashy bums
Can I nominate myself? Thomas has been getting up earlier and earlier this week. This kid, whose earliest wake up has been 7:15 (usually closer to 7:30 or 8), is now getting up around 6. I know this is a completely normal wake up time, and that some of you ladies get up way before that regularly. But, I'm not used to it, and I'm sleeping like crap these days. Because of that, I'm impatient with him before he goes down for his first nap. I need to get it together!
Mine is kind of lame, I nominate MH. The other day Charlie threw one of her foam letters from her bath in the toilet, so I called MH to fish it out since he left the seat up. Teach him a lesson and maybe he'll stop doing it and all that right? Well, the idiot comes in an flushes it down the freaking toilet. The house we live in was built in the 1920's, and yes there have been some renovations but it is still an old house. So now the toilet backs up everytime we flush it and we have to plunge it.

I'll nominate my H for loading the knives in the dishwasher blade-up and causing me to stab myself last night unloading it. I have told him a million times not to do this. Gahhhhh
I nominate everyone around me who keeps bitching at me for cooking, taking care of my boys and grocery shopping rather than staying in bed on bed rest!
Unless you are going to come over and do these things for me or offer some sort of help I don't have much of a choice except to do them! When DH is gone to work the kids are my responsibility and they have to eat and get baths! Yes I know Jace needs to stay in and when contractions start I sit down but these things have to get done and there isn't anyone else around but me!

I'm sorry there isn't anyone else to help out, it can't be easy chasing after two and working on growing one. I think you're doing what you can and taking the time to sit if and when you need to. That's all you can do. Creepy internet hugz!

Thank you! It is just frustrating to hear from people (in-laws) who live 5-10 minutes away that I shouldn't be doing everything I'm doing and that I should be relaxing and resting! Um no shit I "should" be but unless you are going to come help me don't tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing!! Ugh I can't wait for September 7th so I will be full term and they will lift all of the restrictions! I would love for him to stay put until Septmeber 20th my c-section date but at least after the 7th people can shut up!

I say next time they say something you say, "Ok, so what time are you going to be here to pick up the boys?" It'll either shut them up or get you some time to lie back and relax. Of course I could be very off-track too, I'm not good at quick comebacks.

My boss. I am seriously underpaid. Part of that is my fault. I didn't fight hard enough when I was hired for the $ I thought I deserved but was just happy to land the position and now I am stuck. I went to speak with him a few weeks ago regarding an increase, laid all my cards on the table as to why I deserve it, and he shot it down. First he said that I don't bring in any money into the company like a sales rep does (ummm I'm effin HR no shit asshole), and then said while he understood that I had a MBA if I was to be in the same position without a degree I would be making a considerable amount less so the amount that I make in excess of that should be more than enough to cover my student loans every year so I shouldn't be complaining :-O . How that argument even made sense in his mind is BEYOND me and I was so taken aback and shocked I couldn't even form a reasonable rebuttal. I have been silently stewing about this and then just this morning in our executive team meeting he makes this statement "The best run department in this whole company is my HR department (he points to me) and she doesn't even bring any money to the table, so how is that helping me?". I felt like I was once again slapped in the face and replied "I'm the reason why you haven't been hit with anymore sexual harassment suits so I think I'm pretty valuable". Everyone laughed because they know my boss and this is 100% accurate and I know I probably would have been fired in any other company but if you knew my boss and his executives this comment was very tame. So anyways...after the meeting I just went into my office, shut the door and cried. I'm just so pissed off that I went through all of this schooling, do an awesome job and get shit on all the time. If I knew then what I knew now I would have seriously reconsidered my career choice.
Awww big hugs. What a dick. FWIW, the last time I begged for a raise because I was working 10+ hours and doing a stellar job I was shot down. I left and went to another amazing company. I got paid more and was actually appreciated. Maybe its time you start feeling out whats out there?
