Re: Monday Morning Vents

    I have so many.

    Returning to work, month end close, rough a.m. with DD2. I need to go on a starvation diet after my gluttonous t-giving week so I can become gluttonous again later this month. Two of my toilets died this wknd of old age. I will need to replace all 4 this week bc it's just a matter of time before the others give way. Ugh, additional costs in December.

    Other random vents: I lost my book of stamps, need to straighten out a toll tag mishap, I bought gifts online thinking there would not be a better sale (forgetting Cyber Monday), Paul Walker is dead and the eye candy will be missed and I feel awful for any NY'ers who were affected by the commuter train derailment.

    It's Monday and of course DS1 cried all morning about how he wanted to stay home with the Christmas Tree.

    The toy's I ordered last week for donation were supposed to come in Tuesday so i can donate on Wednesday. Fedex package tracker shows they won't be here until Wednesday now, so I have to go out to Target today to pick up toys to donate.

    Pants are tight.

    DS2 has another ear infection. So that's 2.5 months of straight ear infections. So we are most likely going to need tubes. We see the ENT on Wednesday so we shall see.

    That's all for now, I"m sure I'll think of more.

    Sorry for your loss @privacywanted, but it sounds like you made the right decision not to attend the funeral.

    I'm 32 weeks pregnant and exhausted. DH is on a work trip, he left this morning and won't be home until Friday night late. He will leave again next Monday through Friday also. I'm terrified I am going to go into labor and he will miss the birth of his DD. I have a history of preterm labor, DS was born at 34 weeks and he was a precipitous birth arriving in an hour and a half from my first contraction to the end. Please baby girl keep cooking for another few weeks!!!

    @privacywanted don't you get a few bereavement days for the funeral? Sorry for your loss. Alzheimer's is an awful disease...

    Took DD to her one year check up this morning and she cried when she got 4 shots :( just found out that DH is leaving for Florida next week for a whole week for work. And on top of it all I hate where I work at the moment because I feel like I get no respect and I really love what I do...ugh

    At drop off this morning, another kid saw a toy my daughter carried down the hall but put away in her backpack as soon as we got in, before even taking her jacket off. The other mom gave me this huge look and said "yeah, we keep all of [Susie's] dolls in the car because she will knife some one for hers." Ok, I don't mind the judgment so much as the total acceptance of this other kid's aggression - she'll "knife" some one?! She's two. I'm trying not to read too much into that and just chalk it up to a rough Monday morning but not a great way to start the week. Here's hoping my kid isn't freshly scratched or bruised at pick up.

    I can't believe the number of people who want to micromanage my diet this pregnancy. Dudes (and they are all dudes), I produced a healthy baby less than 2 years ago. Give me some credit for knowing what I can and can't eat. If I want a Pop Tart, let me eat my freaking Pop Tart in peace!

    I feel really discouraged about breastfeeding. It was really important to me for it to work out with DD but it hasn't been awesome. She has a really hard time nursing with any distractions at all so I often end up alone with her in another room from everyone which is very isolating. And if I get even slightly dehydrated or don't eat a ton of calories I barely pump anything the next day. I'm doing a bunch of stuff to help supply - lactation cookies, fenugreek, different flanges, etc - but it's getting exhausting and not always working. Yesterday I skipped my fenugreek and didn't eat enough because we were so busy - today I pumped exactly half of what I was getting early last week at each session. So now I have to fit in more pumping sessions today but I have meetings this afternoon and the IL's are insisting we join them for dinner at a restaurant right after work. Why can't this just be a little easier?

    DH & I live apart right now (him in TX, me with kids in NC) due to our jobs.  I knew he did not feel well last night so I sent a text around 9am to see how he was.  His response - "on my 2nd IV bag".  Sent me over the deep end  worrying what was wrong.  He was at ER with flu and dehydrated.  He thought he had went to Urgent Care - not sure how he ended up at an ER instead.  Worried sick about him because he does not have anyone there to take care of him.

    @thedash

    I'm so sorry you are struggling.  I agree with PP about dark beer.  If nothing else, it's a nice reward for a hard day's work.  With DS the pumping got so much easier after about 4 months.  Up to that point, I thought about quitting every day.  Then it seemed to just get way easier, and I ended up going until he was a year old.  But DD was an EBF to EFF baby (long story), and that worked out absolutely fine, too.  Good luck!
    DS born 8/8/09 and DD born 6/12/12.

    @emberlee3 and @privacywanted Thanks ladies! Today was a little better and I love the dark beer suggestion! I do hope it gets a bit easier at 4 months. I would love to bf for a year but I'm trying to set small goals for now.
