Saturday/Sunday- the good, the bad, the ugly

babygabe614 · February 2014

Good: I have watched an obscene amount of Netflix this weekend and feel zero shame about it. DH and my stepson are about to go out sledding and I know exactly what I will be doing while they are gone... Also, my mom and I put together my new entertainment center yesterday so by Wednesday when the cable gets set up, DH & I will be a two-TV household for the first time ever.

Bad: I have a super short temper lately so I have been a little snappy towards just about everyone.

Ugly: My cats are assholes and scratched my beautiful bedroom furniture so I have to figure out how to fix/stain/cover it up before DH notices.

mtgrizgirl beautiful ring!!

JulieSmiles · February 2014

The Good: I have been able to be lazy this weekend and am finally starting to feel better from a nasty sinus infection.

The Bad: DH and I have been fighting quite a bit. He is unrealistic about the baby and seems to think she wont be here for a looonnnnggg time. Less than 4 months dude.

The Ugly: DH lost his job in October but found a new one late November. He makes less money though and we are having a hard time making ends meet. This week it kind of become obvious how bad things were. I'm not sure what exactly we are going to do.

Jaime5124 · February 2014

Thanks, ladies. Not the first time you've helped put my mind at ease & I'm sure it won't be the last.

liberty95 · February 2014

The good: DS turned 2 on Friday and had soooo much fun at his party yesterday! It was so wonderful so see him so happy. I am also loving that he is two, I thought I would feel more sad that he is getting so big, but I love seeing him grow and become such a wonderful little boy. He is so clever and inquisitive. I just love watching him explore and learn

The bad and ugly: DH is super mad at me and I'm not even quite sure why. He is literally mad at me for things I didn't say - I am currently getting the silent treatment. I know men can get sympathy pains during pregnancy, can they get sympathy hormones, too?? Ughhhhh.

lucreciac · February 2014

I'm so late to the game but here's why - the good: I hosted my sister in laws baby shower yesterday and it went great. It's finally over so I can stop planning and return to my normal life. Also, I'm barely spotting and feel really good, so I'm a happy camper.

The bad: my 15 mos old is massively teething and testing boundaries. He's been throwing tantrums nonstop for the last few days.

The ugly: I was so annoyed at the shower yesterday bc her mom barely helped. She let me drag all the heavy boxes so Sil could unwrap while she sat and drank wine. So I inhaled a mimosa and it was glorious. And I don't feel bad.

bebemac · February 2014

The good: I'm not freezing.

The bad: The power went out at 4:30 in the morning and my cell is at 18% charge.

The ugly: I am going to go out and dig my car out of the snow to go and get a fucking mint chocolate chip milkshake.

I am sorry things are rough right now. Is your husband looking for another job in the meantime? Something that will be comparable to before? Hopefully things start to turn around for you.

@mtgrizgirl- love the ring!! I am all of a sudden obsessed with rose gold

If the scratches are not too big you can use stain pens to blend them in. I have used the minwax ones and they work pretty well.

kbellizio3 · February 2014

The good: we FINALLY moved into our new house, picked out the nursery colors and the tenants are moving into our other house on Saturday.

The bad: DH stopped the Internet so I can't bump as often

The ugly: for the first time in my life I have reflux and heartburn. I couldn't sleep last night that's how bad it was. Tums have been my best friend

enpowers · February 2014

The good: I dreamed about a chocolate cherry cake so I decided to make my own version of it today. We will see how it turns out... The bad and the ugly: my SO just realized that I was pregnant when I had won a drinking contest at a our local octoberfest activities BEFORE we had any idea I was expecting. He thinks it's hilarious.

Thank you! He is looking for something new, as well as a 2nd job to help out for a bit. He has worked in the bicycle industry for about 10 years, but unfortunately, there isn't a lot of demand for bikes in February in Missouri. I'm trying to get him to look outside that small field.

I have seen that rubbing walnuts on the scratches works, too! Good luck!

ETA: Oops! Somebody already suggested this. Me dumb!

Ooh, I have a Sunday good:

All you can eat pancakes at IHOP.

We just had an IHOP open down the street so it's all nice and clean and not scary.

AYCE pancakes. Super win! I have never been to an IHOP. Are they usually dirty and scary? Glad yours isn't!

Good: had sex and ds is no longer fighting me on naptime

The bad: dh refused to look at baby clothes and threw a fit when I got abt 50bucks worth and didn't care they were 50% off Carter's clothes. He is doing as little prep for the baby. Won't read, won't help, won't talk to me about stuff.

The ugly: I tried to shave downstairs..... key word here is tried. Yikes

Sad for you when I read your bad. I hope DH comes around soon. That must be rough.

FX something pops up for you folks soon. I can't imagine how stressful this is for you!

momof5sept18 · February 2014

The good? I finished LO's newborn crocheted blanket. Besides the owls which I'm waiting to know the gender before I make them. Also, I slept in until 12:30 today and it was amazing.

The bad? I've felt like crap since waking up.

The ugly? I almost passed out at the grocery store. I just wish that I didn't have to wait to take my GD Class before they give me my meter. I didn't have to take the class with my other two, so why now? So I'm not sure if I'm too high or bottoming out and unfortunately I probably won't know until I don't catch myself before passing out and end up in the ER and they tell me which one it was. Ugh.

Hairstylist16 · February 2014

The good, that my beautiful little family made it home last night during a blizzard. We really shouldn't of been out but I didn't think it would keep snowing so hard in February.

The bad, that I might kill that wonderful husband who got us home last night. I'm so tired of dealing with his attitude that I'm not horny enough or happy enough during this pregnancy and that last time I was in such a better mood. Well excuse me cause this time I'm chasing after a crazy hyper toddler all day and get no help from you.

The ugly, my house is a complete train wreck. The floors are gross, laundry needs done and the sink is full of dishes. I guess I better get off the bump and go clean. Maybe that'll make me horny ha ha

cristykaye · February 2014

The good: it's Sunday and I'm having a baby!

The bad: I have a pimple UNDER my chin. Like its so massive that it hurts so bad. No amount of meds are fixing it. I'm bout to put some aspirin on it to try to take out some of the swelling.

The ugly: DF is up and moving after his surgery and is going back to work tomorrow but hasn't even attempted to help me around the house. I would be happy if he would just pick up after himself!

MrsCase1 · February 2014

The good: I have my health and my family's health.

The bad: there is now work for DH because of the weather. It picked up today so I am hoping it stays that way.

The ugly: all my electronics are shitting the bed. We need two new cell phones urgently and now my laptop is giving me grief.

MissBHaven1024 · February 2014

Good: It snowed last night (it rarely snows in Seattle), so that was fun to watch and play in today. I also met up with one of my best friends for pedicures this morning.

Bad: I am still sick, and now have added a cough to go along with my insanely stuffed up nose!

Ugly: I haven't pooped in 3 days. 'Nuff said.

MrsP419 · February 2014

The good: DH spent hours this afternoon making freezer meals/crock pot meals because I am getting more tired and physically limited in the afternoons. He is the sweetest.

The bad: It is snowing. Again. I want Spring.

The ugly: I am really stressed/emotional/terrified about having twins/four under five lately. Today at church a good friend and mentor asked how I was doing, and I burst into tears and ugly-cried to her for the next 30 minutes. I feel so awful because I know twins are such a blessing, but I am really scared.

The ugly: I tried to shave downstairs..... key word here is tried. Yikes

You tried to shave downstairs or you tried to shave THE downstairs?

I used a mirror to shave down there with my two other pregnancies and it helped, but was still really difficult!

Good: DH let me sleep in this morning. I finally had some energy to fold laundry this afternoon so I'm wondering if I was just that low on sleep.

Bad: Depression is still taking over my life these last few days.

Also Bad: DH is working this afternoon again. Makes me really grouchy.

Ugly: I finally wrote a letter to my sister that I've been having serious issues with for the last how many months. We've been trying to talk on the phone for ages and it doesn't work well with 2 active toddlers on my side and 1 crawling baby on her side. I've got it all typed out but haven't sent it yet. I'm not sure if I should quick send it before DH sees it, because he'll probably say I shouldn't or reword everything in there. Confrontation is really really super hard for him because his family avoided conflict at almost all costs. Yet another thing that annoys me about my ILs...

@babygabe614 This might be a confession or something, but I'm a little bummed that you took the Kristen Wiig gif out of your siggy - in my head, you WERE Kristen Wiig! And then you posted your picture, and after being like, "WTF, she isn't Kristen Wiig!" I was totally blown away by how beautiful you are

So, I'm a fan - between all of that and your awesome contribution to the call out thread last night... Just thought I'd share creepy internet stranger thoughts.

hjl050308 · February 2014

The good: we had my son'a birthday party yesterday; it was great. He has a blast and I think the other kids did too. Two of the moms who brought their kids are also expecting their third so we had a lot to talk about.

The bad: I'm pretty sure I have a UTI brewing.

The ugly: My dad is being tested for c diff (actively being treated as if he has it). We live with my parents right now and I'm petrified of it.

ricecakes1216 · February 2014

The good: We registered today. Although, it makes me angry how much smaller the boy selection is compared to the girl. Boys need cute clothes too!

The bad: I have the beginning of a migraine.

The ugly: I'll come back to this. Nothing too horrible going on right now.

@mrsdbc I'm glad to see you back around these parts - I missed you on your little break

I'm sorry your husband hasn't come around quite yet - I hope that happens sooner rather than later!

@LixM05 I'm sorry to hear about the depression. I've managed fairly well this pregnancy without my meds, but I've had a hard time lately, as well. Just wanted to send happy thoughts out there for you.

ElTrain5 · February 2014

The good: my DH and Dad got a big chuck of the attic gutted and insulated while I cleaned up the basement. Big steps in getting the house ready for baby and nursery! Also walking dead is on soon!!
The bad: I had an ugly-cry breakdown in front if my dad when DH insisted I tell him how I wanted the upstairs laid out. Hormones man. I blame MIL for getting me all riled up with a single text earlier in the day.
The ugly: forecast is calling for -20's for the foreseeable future. SO. Fucking. Over. This. Winter.

bebemac · February 2014

chickpea912 · February 2014

The Good: A Sunday update - just found out that DH's work just asked him to stay for the regular board meeting after he did a presentation for the Executive Board - I guess they liked his presentation so much they want him to do it for the rest of the board. He started there last June, and it's one of the largest lobbies in the country, so it's a fairly big deal that he's presenting in front of the board of a $140M+ organization. So yay for him for being so awesome that they love him so much.

The bad: I actually planned dinner! I have lamb chops marinating and ready to grill. When I told him, he was actually disappointed that he was going to miss out on dinner. Wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I think I might go ahead and make this dinner, and just save some for him for when he gets home around 9 or 10

@chickpea912 I missed you too! Ill prob be around more but it really hit me yesterday I only have 130 days left at most before dd arrives and I'm prob going to be cutting some bump time out so I can spent more time with ds. I've been basically glued to my phone lately :-/

@mrsdbc It's all about balance! Just make sure you leave some time for YOU! I know you know this can be a great outlet, so don't forget about the great benefits of TB.

pcourtade · February 2014

@ricecakes1216 I get so frustrated shopping for my DS! It's ridiculous that the boys section is a quarter of the size of the girls!

@chickpea912 It's so funny you say that, because I was actually really hesitant to take that gif out but I felt like my siggy was getting too big (and that is kinda one of my peeves) so sadly, it had to go. You can totally still think of me as Kristen Wiig, though, since she's amazingly funny and talented. And thank you for that super sweet compliment!! I can never properly articulate myself but truly, you are so sweet for saying that. For the record, I'm a fan of yours too so we can just be creepy internet stranger BFFs now.
