FFFC

macadamia03 · October 2013

I failed my three hour glucose test. I was so bummed I went and got myself a chai tea and a scone. My OB said that most use a scale of 130-140 as the normal range with anything over 140 being high but she prefers to use 130 as her high number. So my 134 is high and I have to be retested in a month.

I blame processed foods and too little sleep for how often people get sick in this country. I get mad that so many people turn to doctors and medicine before examining their how they're living and what they're putting in their bodies to figure out why they feel like crap. Then I blame the medical establishment for not taking that stuff seriously enough to really probe patients on how they live before writing prescriptions. Further, I have other crackpot ideas about what causes diseases of uncertain origin, but mostly I blame dietary and lifestyle choices for making those diseases worse.

I'm in a terrible mood today, and therapy actually made it worse for once, because my stressed-out husband was there, stressing me out.

ETA: clarifying words.
My dad is the absolute worst! I get so mad at him. He still smokes even though he has a pacemaker, heart disease, high blood pressure, he eats whatever he wants( little debbies included) and wonders why he can't keep his diabetes in check. He's on 13
different medications. 13! He drives a truck for work, short trips and always stops at a particular gas station and gets freaking tamales and a soda for breakfast everyday. I only know this because my friend is the manager and he told me. My step mom just had heart surgery as well but refuses to stop smoking and has the same bad food habits as my dad. Did I mention they are only 55? Yeah that's horrible, my rant for the day

This was my Dad. He was on ton of medication for epilepsy and high cholesterol. He was way obese (well over 300lbs). He was lazy and had the worse diet ever. On top of that he never took his medicine correctly. He always thought he knew better than all the doctors. I feel if he just listen to everyone and treated himself better he would have lived a better and longer life. It sucks loosing someone because they don't care.

I have been out of work (on bedrest) for two weeks and I have become completely addicted to daytime TV.

I can feel my brain turning to mush.

I usually love to read, but I haven't been able to concentrate on any of the books I have started recently.

My own FFFC of the week is I'm seeing my psychiatrist today. I can't take this anxiety anymore. My OBGYN thinks it would be beneficial to go back on antidepressants now. We have to see what the psychiatrist thinks. I haven't even thought about what I will do if he says I need them. I know I need them and they are assuring me they would prescribe something safe for this stage of pregnancy but I don't know. It's a sucky decision.
I am on medication and have been all through this pregnancy. Recently my midwife thinks I may need something more. It is a hard decision and I am putting off seeing my doctor even though I know I probably should. The reality is though that a happy Mamma makes for a happier baby and a better and healthier experience. Also it might help to curb any PPD that you might have. No shame in taking care of yourself. In this case I think the good of medication out weighs the possible and very lows possibility of bad.

I had horrible PPD with DS1. It took awhile of therapy and trying a few medications to make it better. Being proactive is a good thing and something I swore I would do from the beginning. Now that my anxiety is through the roof I guess this is my way of doing it. I've always been an anxious person but we really do have a lot going on right now so that is adding to it.

Oh and part deux. I got pissed at DH last night because one of my friends that he doesn't really like offered to buy our stroller and when I told him instead of being happy he got all weird. He was like "well I thought my family were going to buy it" "Well we registered 6 weeks ago so it's not like they haven't had time" "Well things got weird because you don't want to have a babyshower with them" Everything is always my fault.

I do not 'cover my plate' at a wedding. (DH and I are going to one in a few weeks). I give my gift based on my relationship with the couple and how much I can afford. If you chose to have your wedding at a place that costs upwards of $150 a person not my problem don't expect a $300 gift from me!

Wait they expect you to pay to eat? If they do they suck
Right! I hear it all the time 'well you really should cover your plate' you want me to cover my plate then let's go to mcdonalds because this chick is broke!!!

How are people supposed to know how much per plate anyways? Are couples really going around advertising the price they paid anyways? "BTW we just sprung for the cheese fountain so we're up to 120 per plate KTHXBYE!!!!"

I am going to be "that person" and take the other side. I have no issue with not covering your plate that's fine but don't come to my wedding bring 2 guests when the invite says "John Doe " (meaning I invited you not you AND 2 people) and give a grand total of $30! I also had someone come to a grad party in my family bring her 5 boys who were not on the invite who ate so much the host ran out of food and she gave $15. I get it if money is tight and I would rather you come and give a little or nothing than not come but I invited you not you and everyone you know! I can accept it from my guest I just hate it when people treat events people pay a lot of money for as a free party for them and their friends.

ladameperdue · October 2013

Here's a confession. I often hear women (my mother included) say that becoming pregnant themselves made them feel more anti-choice/anti-abortion because they could never personally do it after experiencing pregnancy. It has actually made me even more pro-choice, if that was possible. I cannot imagine forcing someone to go through the entirety of this physical experience.

northport6 · October 2013

@tarashea721 Something like that happened at my wedding which was almost disastrous because mine had on-site accommodations, but wasn't a hotel, and didn't have cots for the extra child and date my husband's cousin brought. Luckily, I hired a wedding planner for the weekend and she was like, "Don't even think about it, I'll take care of it."

I have no idea what she did, but I didn't have to see their inconsiderate butts until I was already hitched and on the dance floor, and I assume they didn't sleep out in the cold.

lp0 · October 2013

My FFFC is that I totaled lied to DH about having someone come out to give us a quote on cutting some tree branches (he's been bitching about cutting them since last year) but instead I hired someone to come do all the yard work he has been refusing to do for months. I told him the guy also did landscaping so since he was here I asked him about the yard work and he quoted me $75 (it was actually $100) so I had him do it. He was so happy that it was taken care of. I seriously wanted to throat punch him because he wouldn't let me hire anyone and we've been fighting over it. Ugh! He drives me crazy!

Oh and I yelled at him for moving the iPad charger but then remembered that I moved it. I didn't tell him it was me hee hee

I am with you here. I give a minimum of 250 for weddings. If I can't do that, and they arent a close close friend or family...I honestly don't go and just mail a gift. At our wedding, we didn't have kids under 18. One of DH cousins brought his kids (16,17) and dates for the kids (wtf?)....we had to pay for their plates plus 10% because we didn't plan for them coming. They gave us a $25 Kohl's gift card. It cost us over $400 to have them.

I can see both sides of this. My FIL and his (almost) x wife came with her son (21) and her daughter (28) and her boyfriend (30). They all went in on one card and 50 dollars. I understand money can be tight but it is mind blowing to me that grown adult children wouldn't go in on their own gift. Especially the 28 and 30 year old. You guys are well into adulthood. Take 5 minutes out of your day to at least get your own card, especially for own stepbrother. The sole reason my FIL left his wife was because he was always taking care of her grown kids.

Sometimes though people need basic invitation etiquette. My sister is having a huge over the top baptism for her daughter this weekend and they are inviting some people kids but not other peoples. They actually invited one lady's 1 kid but not her other 2. I would never go to something if only one of my children were good enough to invite.

MissyC979 · October 2013

The baby is currently breech and I'm okay with that. The doctor said we'll start talking about scheduling c sections in another 3 weeks if he hasn't moved. I had such a rough induction last time and I've been putting so much pressure on myself to have a meds-free birth this time. Part of me feels like if the baby stays breech, I can let go of the pressure that I've been putting on myself, because I won't have control.

So flame away...

I am so sick of waking up to pee all night. I have resorted to peeing, wiping and not flushing during the night because the toilet wakes H up and it's every 30 minutes sometimes. Last night I was too tired and just peed a few times and pulled my pants up - no wiping. When H woke up today, he said "It smells like pee in here - there is lots of pee in the toilet, but no toilet paper. Did you forget to wipe?" Embarssed, I said "Damn nasty dog. Bella must have eaten the toilet paper from the toilet!!" Then I yelled at the dog for being a pig. In my defense, the dog does eat toilet paper, just not usually from the toilet.

I hate bicyclists. Long beach is a bike friendly city which is great we have tons of bike lanes. But dumb bicyclists don't even stay in the lanes and they weave around cars, don't use hand signals, and cross intersections when it isn't their turn. Not to mention half of them don't even look before they merge, and they shouldn't be merging!!!!

Our bicyclists up here are assholes. We actually had a pedestrian run over, and her little dog was killed, by the bicyclist, because she was walking on the "bike path" instead of the dirt path.

I have two pairs, and still haven't worn them. a) I don't know what to wear them with, and b) I don't like the way my legs look in them.

YOU CRAY. But maybe it's for the best because once maternity leggings go on, it's impossible to take them off. Physically and emotionally. They're so darn comfortable I have totally forgotten to care what my legs look like in them.

The same number has called my work phone three times in the last 20 minutes and hasn't left a message. I'm not going to pick up this call. Students who call me several times in a short time span because their issue is "so important" annoy the hell out of me. Leave me a message - I WILL get back to you.

I do the same thing! Plus, I have a semi-generic number, so I also get random public calls for a doctor's office I have never even heard of.

He did! Only because she is bad and gets into the trash and eats dry toilet paper and paper towels all the time. He told her "You have hit a new low Bella, you better shape up before baby Hadley gets here."

I don't even feel guilty!

I just bought 4 pairs!! I have been waiting for it to cool off so I can wear them with boots - that may never happen in AZ. I am gonna rock them tomorrow, and maybe next week at work. They don't like leggings at work, but I will wear a long shirt (duh) and they can send me home if they want! It's hard to find clothes right now and even harder to justify spending the money when the baby is coming soon.

Rock those leggings - you will look hot!

Oh I agree with you ladies ( @northport6 and @KFED103) 100% about them being comfortable. They are amazingly comfortable. I just feel like a sausage in them. Ick. I'll probably start wearing them with skirts and dresses, though, when it starts getting cooler here.

If one of my kids ever wanted to ride a motorcycle, I'd make them draft a living will and register as an organ donor first. It is so unsafe. They are harder to see on the road. No amount of "Start SEEING motorcyclists" bumper stickers changes that. And they just seem to take more stupid chances with their safety.

They are so amazingly comfy. I'm sure my legs don't look great in them, I definitely need some boots, but I really don't care. I picked up a couple cute longer tops from old navy and a nice cardigan and think they look just fine.

Comfy!

So I did not sleep well at all last night. I was sleeping fine until about 4:00 a.m., and then I woke up REALLY having to pee. Of course, when I went back to bed, the cats decided they would start mauling me to death and purring in my ear (two of the three). Then they wanted to curl up next to me on the Snoogle, one on top of the sheets, one IN the sheets, both in positions to where I couldn't move. So I'm laying there trying to get comfy, and then DH starts snoring. I'm not talking about a muffle little snore. He was seriously sawing logs with a CHAINSAW. Then the neighbor lets out his yappy dog that decides to start barking at goodness knows what, which gets the rest of the dogs in the neighborhood riled up. THEN LO decides to start practicing his drumming skills in my belly for about five minutes. By this time I'm furious, so I move to the couch. The cats follow me and DH is still snoring so loud that I can hear him from the living room. I threw a fit.

My FFFC is that I actually purposely yelled as loud as I could "CAN'T I GET SOME FRICKING SLEEP IN THIS DAMN HOUSE FOR ONCE?!?!?!?!" so I would wake up DH because I was pissed off that he always sleeps like a rock when I can't get a wink of it. Well, I succeeded in waking him up, and he got up to pee, then came out in the living room trying to make me feel better when I just wanted to rip his head off, because his snoring was part of the problem. Once he went back to sleep in the bedroom, I cried myself to sleep because I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.

Whoa I feel like it's still so early to be worrying about being breach!

Yes, I know he has plenty of time to move. I'm getting weekly ultrasounds right now, so I'm probably just hyper aware of his position. The OB said the other day that they'll put an induction on the books if he isn't in position by around 34 weeks, but it would be cancelled if he flips.

@KateMW's motorcyle FFFC made me think of this...

I'm really sick of city cyclers complaining that cars aren't sharing the road fairly. The reality is I'm scooting around town in thousands of lbs of steel and gasoline, and you're on a little piece of tin, often without a helmet. I'm happy to share the road, but sharing the road means YOU HAVE TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS TOO. And red lights. And follow all other traffic laws put in place to make road travel as safe as possible for everyone. If you get hit running a red light, who's fault is that? Either play nice on the road and follow the rules, or stick to biking in the park.

This also infuriates me! I also hate when motorcycles drive between the lanes to avoid the traffic the rest of us have to sit in. This happens all the time where I'm from, and sometimes I wish I could just steer my car in their way so they can't pass. But I don't want to be the cause of any road rage or accident, so I just scream a them and honk as they fly by. UGH, that is not a lane, and the rules of the road apply to you just as much as they do to the rest of us!!!

My confession is probably better suited for a WTF Wednesday, but alas it's Friday and dammit I want to vent! I confess that I want to slap my former stepmom (Dad's second wife), lol! Yesterday I asked her to get her Tetanus and Flu vaccines before LO comes. She will be staying with us when he is born. He will be born during flu season, and we currently have a whooping cough epidemic going on in my area. My doctor has advised that anyone that's going to be around him a lot get updated vaccines. It seems that up until about 5 or 6 years ago, they weren't putting the Pertussis in the Tetanus vaccine. My stepmom had hers about 9 years ago, so better safe than sorry in my opinion. So first she gives me crap about it because she doesn't like getting shots. She was fighting me on both shots. Then she laughs and says, "Let me ask you this, are you ever going to let your son go outside??" And then she starting laughing. I told her not to make fun of me and that I'm not being neurotic here, just proactive. It's such an easy thing... Why fight me on it?!?!? Gaaaaahhhhh!!!! Rant over.

I bought my first pair of maternity leggings last night. They are amazing! I didn't know what I was missing. I can see myself wearing these tomorrow. And Sunday. And forever.

Same here!! I bought mine a couple months ago, but actually put them on for the first time on Saturday morning. I took them off to sleep Saturday night, but I put them right back on Sunday morning! Wore them around the house with a long t-shirt. My 16-yr-old stepdaughter and 18-yr-old niece were side-eying me all weekend in those things, but I didn't give a fluck!!! Holy hell, they are comfortable!!!

Here's a confession. I often hear women (my mother included) say that becoming pregnant themselves made them feel more anti-choice/anti-abortion because they could never personally do it after experiencing pregnancy. It has actually made me even more pro-choice, if that was possible. I cannot imagine forcing someone to go through the entirety of this physical experience.

I am on the other side as well and actually had to make a choice after already being a mom. several years after having my son i got pregnant again. I already had a special needs child, was a single mom with no help from the "sperm donor" and knew emotionally I could not handle going through another pregnancy. It was in no way an easy decision but it was one I had to make under all the circumstances. I am not proud of this but I do feel strongly about it being a woman's choice. Just giving another view on your comment.

Edit: words and sentences are hard

DD has been watching Doc McStuffins on the iPad for the last hour because I'm exhausted and feeling lazy. Guess I'm out of the running for Mom of the Year.
