Sunday: the good, the bad, the ugly

EmbracingChange · December 2013

The good: I finished my Christmas shopping and have half of it wrapped.

The bad: I am depressed, not in a diagnosed clinical sense, just blue...

The ugly: my truck broke down weeks ago. Its leaking oil and if it were to leak out while I'm at work and I drive it home the engine could seize so its parked. It's 10 years old so I should have expected something like this eventually. On the 12th DH's little 2012 Ford Fiesta hit a patch of ice and smacked a curb fucking up the tires, rims, tire rods, wheel bearings, and bumper. The mechanic found a way to save me my $500 deductible, but I had to use it to buy tires for it anyway. I also had to buy snow tires for our 3rd vehicle, a big ole 1990 Chevy with a 454 engine. It costs me $100 to fill up. Driving it is kicking my ass on gas. Two days ago I overestimated the amount of space I needed to turn into a parking space and hit my coworkers car... So I get to pay to fix my mistake. Now we can't go see our parents for Christmas, we don't know how much it will cost yet to fix her car. Every time I find a solution to one problem another crops up.

All Smiles today because DH, SIL, MIL, & DHs best friend and I did a lot for my birthday that was a total surprise to me and it was reallt fun!
BUT! I started having contractions at lunch, and DH sent me to bed and deep cleaned the whol house, and my boys just* got home from their Biological Fathers house and DH loaded them up in the truck to take them grocery shopping with them and I'm on strict bed rest and not allowed yo do anyrhing besides lay in bed or on the couch until I get ahold of the doctor in the morning. If they get closer or become unbearable I'm going to the hospital but as long as I don't move a lot or walk a lot they go away besides one or two here and there. But the other good thing though is my parents are leaving TN tonight to come stay with me for a week so I'll have my dads help plus DH who says I have to watch the kids when hes at work but no cleaning or cooking. That its his job now until I'm feeling better. So lots of good, one bad but I'm fine as long as its minimal to zero movement so I'm just not gonna move hardly. Doctor is probably most definitely going to put me on Bed rest/ Pelvic rest once he hears about this.

@mommy2munchkins I'm so glad hey made you feel special for your birthday!! Was thinking about you today and, knowing how you feel about birthdays, didn't want to bring it up for fear of compounding. But, now that you have had a good experience I am excited to wish you the very best on your birthday!!!

momof5sept18 · December 2013

@JNerd thanks so much! Yeah DH turned my whole outlook around about my birthday and I'm super happy about it. Now if these darn contractions would ease it'd be the best birthday ever (which it already is). Nothing like bed rest on your birthday, right? Lol.

The good: we FINALLY started telling people, announced to DH's immediate family yesterday and they freaked out! Like screaming hugging and crying. Better than I hoped for. We're telling my brother and his wife tonight, and the rest of my family tomorrow when we get to my parents house.
The ugly(ish): DH and I have been driving all day. My butt hurts, I'm ready to get to my brothers house...

Attachment is how we are announcing/announced!

My DH had been kindly going without "any" for almost two weeks. My usually frisky nature seemed to have dried up.. Yesterday he said to me, "Honey you know your gorgeous!" And then proceeded to say, "I'm wondering if your lack of sex drive is because you don't feel beautiful, well I'm about to make you feel beautiful!" He totally did and then he totally got laid :-)

I want to announce that momma has taken a day off. I have been upstairs all day in my pajamas watching tv while I listen to DH loss his patience with DD and I don't feel bad at all. I am in one of those moods today DH takes me for granted since I am a stay at home wife/mom. He needs to learn how to me a dad while watching his football.

Oh and DH and I haven't had sex in like 2 weeks and I know that soon I will hear some bull shit about how normal married couples have sex X amount of times a week.

It's 80 flucking degrees. I have never not had some snow for Christmas. I've almost broke down abt this several times today

It's in the 70's here and I'm not too happy about it. I heard the wind knock over my trash cans this morning and I thought "shit, it's going to be cold." Nope. Went outside to warm up my car and was like "well, this isn't necessary." And all of the snow we had last week is melted. No white Christmas

My one semi-ugly was the agitated and combative patient I had to deal with today. Literally swinging fists and kicking. Thank goodness for my awesome male aides that wrangled her to bed!

Is it just me or is there not a Sunday ticker change anyone see one ?

The attention wh0res might have bumped it to the next page (or two).

JNerd · December 2013

Since I'm feeling slightly snarky, I just want to say to the AW/SS - just like a regular wh0re, you can't expect all the attention you get to be positive.

You wanted attention- and you will get it. Don't whine if it isn't the type of attention you wanted.
(Notice how this is in an existing thread instead of starting a new one?)

SaraT717 · December 2013

@JNerd
I'll look again maybe I missed it...

SaraT717 · December 2013

@JNerd
I found it 3rd page lol! but i guess I am not Sunday. oh well

JNerd · December 2013

@sara.Henkel was going to say, if you didn't see one, feel free to start one. Better late than never.

Missib55 · December 2013

Good: got all cookies made today! Got grocery shopping done for all the dishes I have to make this week and got most of the presents wrapped.

Bad: the kitchen is now a terrible mess and I don't feel like cleaning it so its staying that way til tomorrow. I ran out of tape so I must go back out to the store full of crazies again tomorrow.

Ugly: me! I've had a runny nose for days now and I now look like Rudolph! Not exactly the Christmassy look I was going for!

Laurelyn2012 · December 2013

@sara.henkel where did you find the ticker change for Sunday? I think I'm losing it since I can't spot it.

hubbs173 · December 2013

MS came back this morning!! Ugh!

( and to make it even better, I was throwing up so hard I now look like I have some sort of skin disease cuz I popped a ton of blood vessels all over my face!!! I have tiny red spots taking over my face!!!!!

I have yet another for today.

Good: I am feed leasing my horse to a friend of mine until after the baby is born because I am on bed rest. It's unfair for her to just sit out there with no attention or love. My friend will ride her daily and love on her and has a bunch of grand kids that will do the same.

Bad: I'm going to miss her silly self everyday.

Ugly: I've been ugly crying for an hour because she loaded into an unfamiliar trailer, in the dark, with zero hesitation after not being in a trailer in five years. As soon as she realized I wasn't going with her, she started whinnying like crazy and watching me. She felt so betrayed and I feel terrible! I'm going to go see her tomorrow to let her know I didn't just throw her away! :'( :'( :'(

Aww I'm sorry. Sometimes the right decision is the hardest decision. I'm sure she will be very happy to see you tomorrow.

elsa1688 · December 2013

@LoHerrim that must be hard! She is a beautiful horse.

I know it's not Sunday anymore but...

Good: Yesterday was a mostly Netflix day.

Bad: I'm at work today.

Ugly: While finishing up the last of my holiday shopping I went to get a gift certificate to a small local restraunt. The waiter there was in his early to mid 20s and did not know what a gift certificate was. I battled pregnancy brain trying to explain it to him: "It's something to give to other people... You pay money for it..." Thank goodness the owner rescued me before the tears broke out.
