Bitch and Moan Monday

missyishere · September 2013

My dog decided to roll around in the grass all morning, and because we had dew today, I now have a wet lab. Fucking wet labs smell the worst!

Anyone else want to complain about something?

DH was helping me put DS in his carseat this morning, and he noticed that the straps were messed up, and he got out the manual and took it all apart and made me 20 minutes late to work. Better to be safe, but couldn't he have noticed that on Saturday or Sunday?

As I was leaving the daycare provider's house, I got in my car, and I thought maybe some of my hair had blown across my face. I went to brush it to the side with my hand, and it was a frickin daddy long legs spider. On my eye. I screamed and then was all freaked out the whole rest of the way to work.

I feel bloated for some strange reason. Think I need a colon cleanser. I ate way too much meat this weekend.

But Cowboys won & Giants & San Fran lost....

I woke up at 4am hearing somebody walking down the hall from the bathroom to DS's room (our floors creak) then DS whimpering and moving around in his bed, then I noticed the light go out. Of course I freaked and grabbed my alarm key fob and ran into his room. He was out cold and there was nobody in there, DS was sound asleep in his bed exactly where he was when I checked him at midnight.

Yesterday at the pet store I let DS pick a special treat for the dog. He chose a pig hoof. The dog is so happy with it, she loves it, she carries it everywhere so she can chew it, she insisted on bringing it to our room for bed. It smells sooooo fucking bad.

I was awoken an hour early this morning because they are doing construction across from my house.

Got to work this morning and my boss says that the emergency door was open when he got here. We don't think anything is missing, yet, but we can't tell.

Sorry it's been a fucking suck ass Monday.

I'm growing apart from my long time friends, too @hilarityensued, but they are all parents and in the stage of life as me. I've realized hanging here my friends and I really don't have a lot in common. I mean, I will always be around them and their kids, but I realized I'm only friends with them because I've been friends with them for so long.

I had a lot of fun this past weekend, but the dynamics and general situation with my group of friends has left me feeling... off (I guess). Like I am almost having an existential crisis.

These are my girlfriends from college. We were all in the same sorority and the same pledge class. We all hung out over the years (weddings, bachelorettes, showers, etc.) but I've just kind of felt more and more distance lately.

Most are married, but only a few have kids. The ones that don't have kids live a truly jet-set lifestyles (traveling to Europe/ South America/ Asia yearly, eating out all meals, blah blah) and are super skinny and basically obsessed with fashion. I don't envy them at all and we still have funny shenanigans sometimes, but this past weekend my one close friend (and one other person) were making snide comments about boring suburban life and how moms are so boring because all they talk about are mom things.

Meanwhile, my one friend (the main one making the comments) makes $70,000 a year but doesn't have a fucking cent to her name. Worst money management of all time. She literally had less than $20 in her bank account and therefore couldn't access cash, and yet demanded to traipse around SoHo and spent upward of $300 shopping (for some of the ugliest shit I've ever seen).

I guess there is a balance, but if you never see me anymore, you really don't want to hear anything about my life? My kid? What you consider to be a boring suburban life is actually awesome for me. I love it. I love my husband and I think my kid is pretty awesome and sorry if the fact that we are financially secure is boring to you, you idiot. Grow the fuck up and stop trying to pretend you are 21 and you'll get your finances in order "when you get older".

tl;dr I'm kind of in a weird place about growing apart from friends.

I think it's totally normal for you to grow apart from your friends-- esp if almost none of them are parents. I have this going on also. Two of my closest friends from HS are now pregnant with their first (we're 33-- NYers generally do things a bit later in life it seems) and I am hoping their new mommyhood brings us closer together.

Also, FWIW-- I sort of agree with your friend about the boring suburban mom thing, and I am one. Most times I do get together with other moms and their kids, I want to claw my eyes out. I DGAF about your new sprinkler system-- say something, anything interesting. Tell me you are having a hard time at home, or your finances are a mess or you haven't had sex in a month. Just stop pretending your life is perfect-- because mine is far from it and I know I am not alone.

I do, however think it was douchey for your friends not to even ask how you LO is. That's just manners.

I woke up to a motha effin dusting of snow this morning.

Colorado. If it's not raining in September, it's snowing .

insertclevername · September 2013

I woke up in a foul mood this morning and it has not yet lifted. I feel ragey for no real reason. I was also 10 minutes late to work today.

@lildevil968 You have all my sorries!!

Usually the first snow doesn't happen until around halloween. This has been an odd summer, and start to fall.

nixieknox3 · September 2013

everyone was a whiny mess this morning.

DH in the morning before work is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.

i had to get 4 whiny children under the age of 6, dressed and out the door which caused several meltdowns and caused DD1 to be late to school, so i had to drag all 4 kids into the school to sign her in at the front office.

dunkin donuts effed up my coffee order.

Oh well this is an entirely different topic for me. I'm not talking about the fake shit that goes on a playdates. I have an entirely different set of issues making new mom friends because I have zero ability to make small talk about trivial things.

Yes-- I completely went off on a tangent there.

I agree, and I have a hard time making mom friends because I am weird. My old friends already know I am weird.

ncgirlgoingtori · September 2013

Our entire county's water supply is potentially contaminated so we have to boil water or use bottled water. I bathed DS in it yesterday before knowing about the issue.

My boss left a can of soda in the freezer over the weekend and it exploded. I cleaned it up.

Like... if i were to sum up my entire crisis in two sentences, this would be it. My old friends already know me. I am an acquired taste. Once you acquire me we'll be tight and you'll love me. However, in reality, you don't typically stick around through the "acquiring taste" phase as adults if you don't gel immediately, unless there is something sticking you together (like work, mutual friends, daycare, etc.).

Yeah...I just don't like having to explain myself because I don't even know where I would begin.

I am riding out the current weirdness with my old group of friends for now. I am hoping that once DD is in school I will make some cool mom friends.

LoveActually4 · September 2013

My kid had the most epic meltdown ever at the pool today. Like, the olympic gold medal world record setting meltdown. He was on his belly kicking and writhing, he peed all over himself and was screaming. I had DS2 in my arms so the only thing i could do was watch until it was over. There were judgey looks coming at me from all directions.

missyishere · September 2013

I'm sorry @aluenna. Are the doctors concerned?

studyinpink · September 2013

DD is 2 today and started exhibiting terrible two behavior a few days ago.

Today's no exception. Not exactly how I imagined our day going.

littlestjerry · September 2013

@andrea99, he'll no. What are you gonna do? @HilarityEnsued, in a different, be related rant, I can't stand the single and/or childless people who bitch about all the kid pictures and stories posted on Facebook. If I have to look at 150 pictures of your dog or your dinner or your cute fruity drink posed artfully at the table, why the fuck do you care to look at a picture of my kid?

littlestjerry · September 2013

Oh, my bitch/moan is that I'm so GD sick of my stomach hurting and/or feeling nauseous. I know I need to see a doctor who will do an escalating series of tests ending in a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy and just no. No no no, I don't want to do all that shit. I want to feel like a normal human being, why is this so much to ask for?

Truth because my kid is a hell of a lot more cute than your pet. Fact.

Exactly. Sorry my kid is so f-ing cute. SORRY.

DH's cousin is going to keep her overnight for the wedding. But she also has a birthday party to attend that afternoon, and we have yet to figure out those logistics.

As for the anniversary... No clue. DH was thinking of asking my parents to watch her while we go out, then go back to our place with them for cake. (The top layer of our wedding cake was HUGE--not at all what we asked for. We're going to need an army to help eat this thing.) I kind of don't want to spend my first wedding anniversary with my parents, though.

I can't imagine dealing with this kind of asshattery.

LoveActually4 · September 2013

@andrea99 that sucks. I hate it when that happens! I can empathize, anytime H and I have plans the phone rings.....

LuckyDad · September 2013

BOTH my football teams (Chargers and Vikings) managed to lose in the last minute of play in their games.

Vikings are 0-3.

I am not happy.

missyishere · September 2013

Fucking Vikings @luckydad.

thebanich · September 2013

The Broncos game doesn't start until 8:40pm. WTF? Why must I live on the fucking east coast?

DH went kayaking twice this weekend on top of working 20 hours so I was alone with the kids all weekend. If he talks about going next weekend I may nut-punch him.

I hate hate hate hate hate being in debt. HATE IT. It makes me cry daily.

pinkiemo · September 2013

I got denied for private health insurance, I'd like to bitch about that. DH and the kids were cleared, so that's good, but apparently I've had some lady problems that scare the tighty whiteys off of underwriters sooooo sux for me.

Also my MIL is coming down to visit over Halloween which is fine except my mom will bitch about it, cause she does anytime the ILs visit. And I don't want to deal with it. I wish my mom would grow the fuck up.

I often have the opposite problem; MNF starting while I'm still driving home from work.

missyishere · September 2013

DD is fighting her nap again today. I am just going to let her work it out in her crib. I will find a part-time job if she drop naps, so fucking help me.

nanabanana06 · September 2013

Something happened to Ein's at home leash. It's almost completely severed in half. So now I'm using her nice leather lead we use for class and walks to take her potty until we get a new leash. Boo. She's also decided that everything she has to bark at. My corgi is a teenager.

Cade is getting better, but Rosie is now sick. She's so whiney. It's grating my nerves. We put Pokemon on just to get her to be quiet for a few minutes.

This coming weekend is supposed to be SD's weekend with her mom. Normally, when she bails, we keep her. No problem. But we told her that she was absolutely not allowed to bail this weekend. We have a no-kids wedding Saturday (the first one DH and I will have ever gone to without SD!), and our anniversary is Sunday, for which we already have paid-for plans. My parents are going to a wedding Sat, and ILs will be out of town all weekend.

Guess who text DH last night to say she'll be in NJ all weekend?

This makes me so sad. What did your DH say to her?

To SD's mom? Just "You know it's YOUR weekend, right?" There's not much else you can say when she's going to be 1000 miles away and you have zero control over it.

Hopefully SD will be so busy Sat she won't notice. Sun is still pissing me off.

This makes me sad too. Honestly, I get that divorce happens, but it makes me sad and mad when the children's needs aren't put first. Your SD's mom sounds like a real peach.

littlestjerry · September 2013

I have a new moan. I'm about to go get three cavities filled. I would rather chew glass.

LuckyDad · September 2013

andrea99 said:

@LuckyDad "peach" is almost too nice. We're unfortunately used to it, but this move was just at a really shit time. And I know she knew what this weekend was, because DH reminded her two weeks ago that she needed to be off work all weekend.

I'm just glad your SD has you in her life, because it sounds like her bio mom is not going to be a reliable source of stability.

virgin4lyfe · September 2013

@andrea99 that's so sad

I'm sorry.

jak554 · September 2013

I keep smelling cat piss in my family room and figured out its the rocking chair we got from H's grandma. She had a cat that pissed places and everyone said the cat didn't go near it but when it's in a house of cat piss and fruit flies, I think it still gets the smell. I want to buy new chair pads for it but i have no idea where to buy since it needs a back and a seat cushion. I'll just febreze it for now. 8-|

I'm also upset at H for a number of small reasons that I can't take anymore.
