Monday Bitchfest

MRads · October 2013

1) it's Monday.
2) My kid turned four months yesterday. He went from 3 wake ups a night to waking every hour on the hour from midnight till 5 and then was up for the day.
3) because of said wakefulness, I only pumped 1oz this morning, instead of my normal 4-5. That's usually my biggest pump of the day, so I'm down a bottle for tomorrow already.
4) The doc didnt call to confirm but Im 99% sure B has his 4 month appt today. Along with getting shots, they need to evaluate his head to see if he needs a helmet.
5) I spilled my coffee all over my car this morning.
6) It is 5 days to the weekend.

Any whines for you?

2. My other kid can't poop.

3. My other other kid can't poop.

4. My cat pooped on my rug.

Yup, that kind of Monday.

LO was up FIVE times between 12 and 5.
DH slept through all of it.
My toddler hid my car keys. He was asleep when I left, but when I couldn't find them I immediately knew he was responsible. Had to take the spare key, which makes the car alarm go off when it is turned on. Nothing like driving down the street knowing your neighbors hate you.

I smell like onions. Like really smell like onions to the point where I can smell myself. Except I havent eaten onions. I thought it was the clean clothes I just put on, but it turns out it's my jacket. DH cooked last night after I went to bed and somehow contaminated my stuff. First stop in the city is CVS for some febreeze and body spray.

1. I gave my two week notice at work on Friday. Everything seemed fine at the time, but my boss emailed me last night to tell me that she won't let me finish out the two weeks and wants to "schedule a time" for me to collect my belongings. Crap. I was hoping to leave on good terms.

2. DD began to reverse cycle when I returned to work, so I am exhausted and running on fumes.

Erinm278 · October 2013

1. I am giving my 2 weeks notice today and I'm scared. I don't think it will go badly, but I feel like I'm breaking up with my boss.

2. It's Monday.

3. DH is closing tonight and I hate when he closes. He won't be home until almost 10 pm. I know I sounds like a real shit head, but I miss him when he's gone all evening.

danigirl7181 · October 2013

I've been up since 7 am yesterday and won't get to bed until 11 this morning, then I have to be back to work a 7 pm tonight. Ugh I'm tired.

joyfultrex · October 2013

our sink leaked and flooded the kitchen last night and DH didn't know how to turn off the water. (I sometimes wonder how he would make it alone...) I had to cancel plans for today and am now waiting for the plumber, but I feel super lame b/c I could probably fix this myself, but DS doesn't want to be put down ever.

kaylakim · October 2013

Sorry you guys are having tough Mondays. That sucks! So far my complaints are:

1. Dd1 had a fever yesterday and it's a little better today. She says she feels better and wants to go to school. I gave her some ibuprofen and will cross my fingers.

2. It's Monday and I REALLY don't want to go to work. I'm starting to hate my job and regret taking this new job. Without getting into all the details I think I'll be quitting at theend of the school year. That sounds far off but I'm dreaming of May!

dinomama13 · October 2013

1. Jae keeps waking up when I put him down. At least 3 times before midnight but then stays asleep all night.
2. I have a shit ton of laundry to do
3. My friend wants to come over today to do some wedding planning for her wedding NEXT December. It's Monday woman!!
4. Jae just went back to bed so now I've gotta get my fatass up and workout. Fuuuuuuuuck.
5. My apartments are being painted and dh found a kitten stuck to our door. No idea how the hell that happened. Adding another cat to my fur family I guess. FML. She's cute though. I like her.

tmstengrim · October 2013

I hate that I am at work and my husband is at home cuddling with our baby boy. I am greatful that he has the sick days to take to allow a day for Logan to get better after being sick all weekend, I just wish I had the sick days as well. It doesn't help that I really don't like my job either.

lancomechica · October 2013

Omg!! Y'all have some crazy ish happening on your Mondays.
1.) I need to get to work. I am so tired. LO was up 3 times last night which equaled no sleep.
2.) I was just informed that at the end of January I will be traveling for 2 weeks straight (Savannah then Nashville). I can't possibly leave LO with husband for all that time so it's likely they will need to make one of the trips with me. Probably Savannah.
3.) My job rocks, I used to love traveling but leaving my LO so often is hard. At least this week I have no overnights. November is another story.

lancomechica · October 2013

I have more...
1.) was so tired...I forgot I had a chiro appt at 9am. Luckily they changed it to 10am for me.
2.) I am driving a stupid rental car because I never got the new tags for my new company car and I realized the tags expired. No one seems to know from my fleet company where my tags are.
3.) I sat here and pumped for like 30 minutes and only got 2 oz.

Carrie3102 · October 2013

I was up 5 times last night between 12 and 5. DH and I discussed his mom's "one upping" (which went about like I thought it would, him trying to make me feel bad for feeling like she's just over buying and buying everything we planend on buying) we went to sleep around 11:30... he then (not Parker but H) woke me up every hour because his "thumb hurts" JFC I don't care. There's nothing I can do for you so why are you waking me up?

I feel like It's not even November and I'm dreading Christmas... It used to be my favorite holiday, I now loath it. Thank MIL. Thanks for ruining that for me.

danielledunning · October 2013

Today is my last Monday off with Luke. My heart is broken.

babykk · October 2013

@carrie3102
I feel like the grinch when it comes to Christmas, used to love it, now I don't. Everyone wants to tell us where to go and what to do, it's annoying. They just make us want to be alone or do our own thing even more!

Carrie3102 · October 2013

oh lets add to this, I accidentally used my company card at the hospital cafe and would love to pay the 6.85 off but because I have a credit balance on my card, I can't... so who knows how I'll get that fixed. Just found out I grabbed the wrong card when I got the email this am saying I had company card transactions... awesome, I'm probably going to get yelled at.

thegoodpotato · October 2013

I let my husband go to octoberfest on Saturday night at my brother's place, so he was gone overnight. That night my toddler decided to have a fit of vomiting for no reason. Vomiting makes my toddler scream. Toddler screaming wakes up baby. Baby screaming with toddler. Finally get everyone settled around 11:30am. Baby has decided that now that she's disturbed, she's going to wake up every two hours for comfort nursing.

Fast forward to Sunday. Husband gets home around 11:00am. I've been up since 7:00am, and have been cleaning like crazy because my mom is coming by with the carpet cleaner. We clean the carpets, change beds, organize, etc. Husband 'entertains' children by watching baby Einstein on replay with eyes closed. Once the carpets are clean, and my mom leaves, husband proceeds to take a shower and a three hour nap because he has a hangover while I wrangle a toddler and infant who both simultaneously decide not to nap that afternoon.

Sunday night I'm in bed at 8:30. I've been having digestive issues, so I took a laxative/stool softener. Baby wakes up for feed at 1:30 per usual. Body decides laxative has taken effect. Unfortunately, stool softener doesn't. Ouch. I mean really. No details, but ouch. So, now I've had very little sleep, I'm pissed off at H, and my butt hurts. And I get insomnia.

Then the toddler wakes up and wants to sleep in our bed. Ok... Get hit/kicked in the back for the rest of the night while not sleeping. Finally fall asleep around 4:30. Toddler wakes up at 5:00, having overflown her diaper and peed the bed. Our bed.

Awesome. It's going to be a good week. I can tell.

Oh, and ouch again this morning (the laxative is still working, but the stool softener isn't).

Sigh.

Aiylin · October 2013

1. It's Monday.

2. It's Noahs' second week at the sitters and it was harder than last week.

3. I pulled a tendon/ligament in my foot and dragged my arse into work today. I'm in effing pain dude.

4.DH and I have the dreaded talk about the lock on his phone tonight, as it turns out there is another woman- get this, it's his mom. No we're not about to be on Jerry Springer or anything like that, but apparently his mother has been asking him to keep her calls/communication from me. MIl Gem of the week anyone? So since he is forgetful and it's not in his nature to erase her calls/texts he thought it would be a great idea to lock his phone from me and that I just might not notice. She's been asking him for things that he knows I wouldn't agree with so he's been taking out his frustration out on me.

Considering DH thinks his mom is a saint, I am currently researching how I want this conversation to go- Sad part? The best thing I got is the "circle of trust" from Meet the fockers. I hope it goes better than I think.

Dear Lord, it's only Monday.

Edit* I want to thank everyone whose wished me luck and their genuine concern for the ongoing situation in my home. I appreciate it! (You guys helped me see that I'm not bsc, like I was starting to believe).

my J13!

heatherbrownm · October 2013

@aiylin holy shit. Talk about shitty MILs. I would be so annoyed.

My heart is broken for you. People keep telling me it gets easier, but it hasn't. This is my second week back.

Leaving these kiddos is no joke.

@hplusb- tell me about it. She didn't say to him, lock your phone, but she all but stopped short by apparently telling him she would prefer if I not be involved or in the know about their conversations, that have been extensive at that after she left two and a half weeks ago. She's asking him for money is the gist of what I got. After we just spent money on two plane tickets for her and her twin to come over here meet Noah, took them out to eat for the five days that they were here, bought them over $500 in gifts for them and DH's extended family and sent them off with an additional $200 each they have the audacity two weeks later to sit here and cry to DH about them not having money and needing money? Really? really? I can't believe this as I'm writing it. They're 74 and no they have no 401k, in their culture it's up to my DH and his two siblings to support their widowed mother. I'm not fully on board, but I don't argue any more about the monthly allowance that is sent to them every month, but this? this is them wanting to go back to the ridiculous position that DH had before I came in the picture where he knew no boundaries. This is them trying to manipulate our budget and somehow DH doesn't believe it's "wrong" that they should have a say. As I reiterate, in his mind, they equate with Mother Teresa.

The twins know its Monday. They traded off wake ups so I was up every hour last night. The only time DH woke up was when they were both screaming their little heads off at 2am and he said "well this sucks." Yes dear, it does. Thanks for your 2 second assessment of the situation that's been going on all night. Also, the daycare teacher I don't like was the one there when I dropped them off. Damn we need a nanny.

sparkymcgeee · October 2013

Wow aiylin. Just wow. You are a lot more generous than I am. A whole lot.

Aiylin · October 2013

@ Meimsx, I'm not, but I have had to do some MAJOR compromising to keep my marriage.
I just don't know how much more of that I can do.

:-S

Aiylin · October 2013

@ Mrs.ErinH, you are so right on, at least it's not an affair. I guess I hadn't even stopped to see the glimmer of good out of the whole situation.

Thank you for that!

Aiylin · October 2013

@Rmnam1, yes she does suck and I have to walk on eggshells to figure out how to tactfully relay this to my husband. I keep reminding myself, one day I too shall be a MIL, not that I will expect my kids to support me or anything, but I guess I have to have grace.

Thank you for your well wishes!

jackson290721 · October 2013

I just want to give you all giant hugs!

Aiylin · October 2013

@somerandomchick I'm second generation and my parents didn't exactly "support" their parents. They helped, but not even close to "supporting them", so I really don't get it. DH is first generation and his mothers idea of supporting them is sending them enough to get by... In her own words, so that she has the luxury of buying $70 shampoos. I mean her hair was falling out and she needed to do something about it and a $70 shampoo at my family's expense is a reasonable solution in her mind. Did I mention that her neighbor who is 45 got pregnant recently and the lady has been in a severe depression bc apparently she didn't "see it coming", so his mom decides she wants to be the goodwill fairy and bestows it upon my family the need to go out and buy clothes for her unborn child. (she wanted to take Noah's clothes, but I refused, he had only outgrown two onsies at the time!) So her unplanned pregnancy became DH's problem. See I try to be reasonable, but they're really, really on just another level. Like the ridiculous taking off to Mars level.

1. It's Monday which means DH is off to work until Saturday
2. The bean gave me his cold

Uhhhh. Fuck that gym. Go somewhere that isn't so body shaming. You could have a BMI of 22 and still drop dead on their track. That's bogus.

For real. I would be so mad. That's just rude and ridiculous! Find a new gym now.

I plan to I'm going to get my free two months then give them the finger when I leave. I also posted about it on facebook because as if I don't feel bad enough about my post baby body I just was basically told I'm fat and might drop over dead because of it.
