Re: Sunday: the good, the bad, the ugly
My mom and I take her for breakfast every Sunday. We call at the same time every week and are already terrified if she doesn't answer it's because she is lying dead in her apartment (she refuses to go to an assisted living facility and is 92).
It is terrifying every week when we have to go up to her apartment and see if she is okay or not.
The ugly: her dementia is rapidly getting worse so every week is scarier than the week before.
The bad: Mild cramps the past few days too. I know it's just growing pains but still don't love it.
The ugly: So hungry! All the dam time. Now I know what teenage boys feel like. DH thinks it's hilarious but feeling constantly hungry is starting to wear a bit thin. I'm watching my macros and definitely getting enough protein and good fats.

The bad: I have 80 essays to grade, which I really, really don't feel like grading.
The ugly: I peed my pants. Like, not a sniss, not a like dribble; I peed my damn pants. I didn't even feel like I had to pee when it happened. I was just standing in my kitchen and then, suddenly, I was peeing. I am now terrified that this will happen while I am teaching.

The bad: the winter isn't over yet and going anywhere is annoying- walking with the stroller with the snow and ice or digging the car out, driving, hoping to find parking, etc. I can't wait for the warm weather.
The ugly: I need a haircut and my house needs a deep cleaning. This leaves both things not so pretty.
The Bad: Our Jeep shit the bed last night for reasons unknown. It's been a total money pit/lemon since we bought it in September. We live rurally and work in the city 50km away. Tomorrow's commute should be super fun/impossible.
The Ugly: I got my e-bill from the power company last night and our bill went from an average of $250-$300 (for every 2 months-winter included) to almost $1000 for this billing period. Looks like our newly replaced septic pump has also been misbehaving in recent weeks, tripling our consumption. Needless to say, I did not get much sleep. We are SO broke and the Dr told me to stop working too so I don't know how we're going to finagle this one...
The good: DH and I got tickets to see Iron and Wine. It'll be during his two weeks off, and it's nice to have something to look forward to while he's away. Got a haircut/color this weekend and I feel like a new person, afterwards scored some 40% of clearance baby clothes at a little place in the mall. Pretty great weekend!
I'm glad to hear your grandmother is ok!
The bad: Hubby was out of work for 6 months and he's been working again for the past 6 weeks without a paycheck. His teaching license was messed up but it's all fixed now so I don't understand why he hasn't gotten paid. The principal is acting shady about the whole thing so DH went to talk to the union rep about it. We'll see what happens.
The ugly: ugh me. My roots are disgusting and I would kill for a day of pampering. Cut and color, manicure and pedicure please. The bottom of my feet could sand the stain right off my coffee table.
The bad: I walked the dog this morning to try to give my husband a break and I almost busted my ass 3 times on all the freaking ice! It's cold and dreary and I'm effing sick of it!!!
The ugly: My confidence level is waaay down in the dumps. As awful and selfish as it sounds I feel soo fat and ugly. DH and I haven't been intimate in a long time. He doesn't even try anymore. I feel like the belly is officially turning him off. He is otherwise very good to me and affectionate in other ways but it just puts an awkward damper on things
The bad : husband does not work tomorrow and my daughter is staying home tomorrow with him. While I will be at work but I wish I could spend the day off with him like I planed.
The ugly: I would have to say my house is a mess and I have no energy to clean it plus we need to get working on the baby room and just don't have the energy to do any of it.
Omg I think that gif just made me wet my pants....
Yum.
The bad: I feel huge
The ugly: my emotions are out of control: my brother, who has a 15 mo old, posted how he thinks backpack "leashes" on kids are "treating kids like dogs" and I mentioned that we'd registered for one in case LO is a runner. Well, he said something to the affect of "she won't be on one around me" and his childless buddies all start saying how "that shit is stupid" and how they hate them...anyways, am I the only person who would rather "treat my kid like a dog" than have her hit by a car?!?
Edit: someone said the leashes "border on child abuse" WTAF?!
The bad: DH had to go back to Colorado for a week to work
The ugly: I've been a nervous wreck about going into preterm labor and delivering early again. I keep obsessing whether he's moving right, am I cramping or is it gas, is the progesterone working, is that discharge, pee, or something else? It's going to be a long 15 weeks to get through with this increasing anxiety.
The bad-Me and mil arent getting along at all and DH seems like there is nothing he can do or say to his mom at all. I am so tired of her disrespect and controlling ways.
The ugly- My day has turned out to be very stressful trying to relax because i just left the hospital about a week ago because i was having contractions thank god the meds worked i have been under so much stress lately
