Re: Monday Bitchfest.

  • I can't decide whether to stay up for the day or go back to sleep.
    And DH wants lo and I to go to our hometown this weekend so he can paint the house with no interruptions. That would mean lo and I would have to go to MIL's by ourselves. (Fil is coming here to help paint.)
    No thank you.

  • I know sleep is a hot topic, but LO just doesnt want any. The last week and a half, I've averaged 4-5 hours...last night was 3.5 tops. I love LO but this is getting old.
  • My office opens back up today after the flood last week. Everyone downstairs has temporarily moved upstairs & I have lost my pumping room. I'll have to go out to my car every time....Can't. Fucking. Wait.
  • I don't usually participate In the bitchfest but this is bugging me.. I do everything in my house, DH works a lot so I do it all which is another mess but he was so sweet and said he would go grocery shopping for me last night great I made him a list, he comes home and bought double of some things because he wasn't sure, only bought 4 apples although he knows we each eat one a day so 4 isn't gonna get us through the week and he bought the most random gross kinds of yogurt. I'm trying to eat more a day since I don't consume nearly enough calories, we've been living together for 4 years I thought he would know what I like/don't like but I guess I have to write out every single item and a description for next time.
  • @stfbllstr87 my H does the shopping almost every week & I make the list. I still have to be very exact in things. I can't just say apples, I have to say "red delicious apples" or he'll get some random whatever is on sale.
    I've been eating the same apples for 10 years man! Why is that hard to remember?! I think it's just a man thing.
  • @sftbllstr87 my husband is the same way. And I feel bad because he always is so proud of what he did, but generally at least 1/3 of the stuff he bought isn't right.

    my bitch today is that if we didn't have bad luck, we would have no luck at all. Our car is broken, and then a few weeks ago the windshield got shattered. Our card got messed up in the whole Target thing. We cancelled our XM radio and still after 2 weeks of calling haven't seen our $200 Refund. Now, on Friday night, a pipe burst in our attic and messed up the ceiling in our garage and a lot of our stuff. The only lucky thing is that it was a pipe that only goes to the garage and not the whole house so we can still use our water. It's like we can't catch a break!

  • LO, I love you girl, but you gotta stop waking up at 330 am thinking its party time. Quit trying to engage me in play with your cute little tongue flips, and go the fuck to sleep. Mama has to deal with 75 middle schoolers all day, she needs her rest! We play plenty during the day!

    I think we have the same child!!
  • Even though LO is sleeping I have slept like crap the last few nights and am exhausted. This is seriously not cool, I literally look like a zombie!
  • DD is back to at least 2 wake ups a night and I'm just tired. I also start back to work this week.
  • LO wouldn't go to sleep last night until close to 11. I get up at 5 every morning so I'm dragging today. Also, I have an interview for a new position in my office that is very competitive and none of my interview clothes fit.

  • I thought as babies got older they slept better?! Well, not in this house! She is going backwards.

  • I miss sleep. More than anything.
  • @kwrecks I hope things start going your way soon. It's amazing how all the crap seems to come at once.
  • DH had to get up with LO last night (she woke up once and was awake for an hour an a half). Now he is in a pissy mood because she only slept until 630. I am so tired of his pissy attitude, she is generally a good sleeper and he has no idea what it COULD be like so he needs to shut it.

  • Ugh DD. Midnight is not an appropriate bedtime. Neither is 11:00 PM. Mommy needs to be able to do homework in the evenings! 

    Considering the above, anyone have any tips for moving bedtime forward? I've tried getting her to go down earlier, and she just catnaps. It's been brutal.

  • I'm crabby because I just got over the flu a week ago and now I have a horrendous cold. I'm miserable and crossing my fingers that LO or DH don't get it. I'm sure me being sick and having a crappy immune system lately has nothing to do with lack of sleep!!
  • Oh. My bitch....  DH decided to wake up the whole house at 4am last night by playing a video on his phone while in the bathroom. When I get up at 4am to use the bathroom, it's to do that - use the bathroom.

    or you're all the way grown,
    my promise to you
    is you're never alone.
    You are my angel, my darling,
    my star...and my love will find you,
    wherever you are."

    @janeann1127 I have that friend and I have been waiting for her baby to reach it...mostly bc if she complains to me one more time about hard it was to get her kids up in the morning, I'm going to slap her. 

    Take that you bi*** animated gif

    Hahahaha! Ok yeah then I don't feel too bad. Man I wish I had that problem!!!
  • I am so sick of working. I don't hate my job, but the longer I am back to work the more I miss being home with E. And now I'm getting irrationally mad at MH because he has summers off (teacher) and gets to be home with him every day starting in June. I want that so bad. The sad fact is, even though he told me that when we had kids I could be a SAHM, he just doesn't make enough for it to be smart. Never mind the insurance aspect of it. I so hope that MH is able to find a better job this spring/summer when he graduates with less expensive family benefits. I don't want to be rich (well, it would be nice) but to have just enough and a little extra to put away so I can stay home until the kiddos are in school. That's all I want.
    I feel you. DH and I work opposite schedules and he stays home with the babe all day. I'm just really thankful he gets to stay home with his father all day versus some random person at a daycare. Being a SAHM would seriously be a dream for me, but it wouldn't work for us financially. Sending some good vibes your way hoping your husband finds something that would work out for you guys :)

  • @katieS7, if I didn't have to work I would fly myself. And yes, she would probably have a blast with your girls. She loves other kids. Thanks for the support.

  • I was at ILS this weekend.. While they were still living in England me as H had carried a lot of their belongings aroun with us (for 2 years practically).. Just so no one had to pay or storage. It pretty much took up an entire room. After awhile it got too much and it was put into a storage unit, along with a few things of ours. When they came back they took everything out and put it in their house.. Along with the items of mine. They are and had been using them (bread box, box spring mattress.. A gaming system). Well, when we were leaving H noticed a big chunk of my mattress in the garage. He asked what happened to it and FIL said he was throwing it away. H said it was mine and why would they do that? FIL said it was just sitting in the garage and no one was using it. Well shit, all those years no one was using their shit we should have just thrown it all away. Wouldn't you think to ask about something like that before you throw it away. I'm absolutely furious. My parents had bought me that and a mattress so it was a gift, and I was planning on using it for DS as a size up on his bed, which I said to FIL. Ugh.. No one cares though..

    It doesn't matter if I am covered in burp cloths and LO is wearing a giant bib.  He always manages to find the tiniest chink in the armor and barf in it.   Always.

    Edit:  Like now.  There is a huge pool of puke in my lap, soaking into the crotch of my last clean(ish) pair of pants.

    I have another one... Go to the damn doctor, DH! You don't feel good. It's been a week. You say your body aches, you're sniffly, etc. For the sake of our infant son, get yourself to a doctor so you can feel better. Because, so help me God, if you get LO sick... You might as well pack your bags and move in with your mother until LO gets better.
    We might have the same husband.  He flat out REFUSES to go to the Dr. unless something is dismembered.

    ETA: quote fail
    MH also REFUSES to go to the doctor. I realized half the battle was calling to make an appointment and actually taking time off of work to go to the appointment. (He works 6-7 days a week). Now, I just force him to go to Urgent Care.

    My bitch is my poor baby is actually constipated now. I feel so bad. I was crying yesterday because she was trying so hard to go, but ended up just pulling it back in.  It was so hard to see her in so much pain. 

    I have tried everything pedi and TB have suggested, but I think we're going to go to the pedi if there's not a monster poop by 3pm today. Poor baby!

  • Add us to the no sleep club. DD refuses to sleep! Yesterday she had a whopping total of 1 & 1/2 hours nap (not consecutive) and last night was up every hour. Literally. Oh little girl, just sleeeeeeeep!! You're not missing out on anything between the hours of 8pm - 6:30am. I promise.
  • I have another one..... Hey body shop, quit telling me my car is going to be ready on a certain day, then extending it by another three or four days. If my car isn't done until this Friday, that's fine, but you shouldnt have told me by today, and got my hopes up that I would finally be getting out of your shitty loaner car.

  • My LO (who has 2 teeth) bit down and twisted his head away from me today.  I haven't yelled that loud in a very long time.  I checked for blood.  

    The thought alone made MY nips hurt... I can't even imagine.  OUCH!

  • My DH does the same with the grocery store. He will buy whatever brand we never buy and be like, "What? It's the same thing!" No. No it isn't.

    DH gets headaches all the time and refuses to take anything for it. So I finally told him, "You don't get to bitch to me about it if you won't try to fix it. I get to bitch about my headaches because I am actively trying to resolve them." He has stopped whining or takes a tylenol and then whines.

    LO woke up like 4 times between 2:30 and 6:00 this morning. I wanted to die.

    And... @V&amp;G101808 - Wasn't it you who suggested the series "Divergents"? I don't know whether I love you or if I'm mad at you because I am reading them nonstop. I'm halfway through the 2nd book. I loves it. Thank you! Any additional recommendation appreciated! :)

    I have a fever and I think I have the flu. Ya-fuckin-hoo!

    Let me preface this by saying I have a wonderful husband who is an amazing daddy, BUT.... His best friend came to town this weekend for him and his wife's coed baby shower. We took LO who did great but refused to nap since there was so much going on. Since she wouldn't nap, she was tempermental and would not let anyone hold her but me. I held her for 4.5 hours.... and you know she wouldn't let me sit. While I am holding her and soothing her a lot of the time, my hubby decided to have too many drinks with his friends and asked if he could stay longer because he wasn't ready to go when it was time to get the baby home. Therefore, I held her all day, put her to bed, and then woke up with her the next day at 4:30 because hubby got up to catch a plane to Vegas for an overnight trip with the boys. All the guys from the firehouse went to watch the Charger game. So my bitch is that I'm tired...and he freakin owes me. I was very bitter this weekend, but we talked and I am over it. He never does stuff like this anymore or gets to go out with the guys, so I am glad he had fun. Momma just needs her time now. Sadly, for me that means maybe an hour away from LO this weekend to get a mani/pedi. Or a glass of wine after putting her to sleep. I still don't like leaving her for long periods. ETA: don't know why this didn't have paragraphs. Sorry for the ramble.
