No Monday Bitchfest?

I miss the old daily threads

Where my regs at?

CamrynnsMommy · March 2014

Fuck the roids! Fuck 'em!

sheriot · March 2014

Fuck pricking my finger four times a day after failing the one hour and passing the two hour.

Also, after H and I found a house we wanted to rent, his only responsibility was to call the agent to let her know we would like to rent it*. I asked him about it every day last week because hi, I'm 30w pg and we live with his folks...I want to move. Each time, he said he'd call the following day. Friday afternoon at 2:30 I get a text, "The West Street house has rented. Guess we'll have to find something else." Then the only other house that will accept our large dog rented Saturday am. No words describe how a-n-g-r-y this makes me.

*(I would have called the agent, but he wanted to be the one to do it. Lesson learned.)

Screw roids and gestational diabetes. My hands hurt and I'm hungry. I'm also getting real sick of these preterm labor L&D runs. Also why can't my husband just do the loads of laundry I ask him to. I tell you to wash our son's bedding not the towels because DS needs bedding for his toddler bed for nap time we don't need towels until next morning

andoll8 · March 2014

opposite problem as @Blitz1712...so hungry, but no room....must.....poop.....soon.....

IBackBevo · March 2014

This morning it was in the 20's with a windchill of 4 degrees when I left my house. I saw 3 kids walking to school. None of them had on heavy coats (just sweatshirts/hoodies) and one had on shorts. Seriously? I would not let me child out of the house dressed like that on such a cold day. I thought about offering to give them a ride to their school because I knew it was about a mile away, but I didn't want to make the evening news as some preggo pedophile trying to pick up children walking to school.

Sorry lady. I wasn't feeling terribly bitchy this morning.

Snow day today. They are taking one day off spring break. F€(¥@ing school system.

A woman who works in my office just got injured (not on the job) and is complaining about not having medical insurance. She doesn't have health insurance for her child either. First, our boss gave her a raise of about $600-700 a month to buy insurance when the firm quit providing insurance...none of the rest of us got that, but she went to our boss with a sob story--at least according to my paralegal this is what happened.

She claims she can't afford insurance. I talked to her about it and encouraged her to look into the Affordable Care Act. I feel confident she would qualify for tax credits since you can make up to about $78k and still get some sort of credit for a family of 3. Plus, I know that one of my husband's employees (who is in her 50s) got insurance through the ACA for $120 per month. I have to assume it would be even cheaper for a woman in her 20's. I certainly know it would not be more than $500 per month for her and her child because I can insure both my son and myself for that through the ACA and I'm 5 years older than her, don't qualify for any tax credits and have a "platinum" plan. I really tried to talk it up to her.

She looked completely disinterested the entire time I was telling her about this. Oh, and she just got back from a 1.5 week vacation to the Virgin Islands, bought a new, loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee about a year ago and bought a $250k home last year, too. But she can't afford health insurance... I genuinely hope I got through to her.

Maybe it is just me, but in my mind I am going to get myself and my child (especially my child) health insurance before pretty much anything else other than food and shelter. But I guess I can't expect everyone else to conform to my same standards...

spacepotatoes · March 2014

Screw you, HR. Every time I ask a question, you either answer a completely different one or give me half an answer...usually the half I already know. Thanks for nothing.

Trying to sort out mat leave arrangements but they aren't making it easy.

Xath · March 2014

As of this moment, I have been on hold for 36min 49 seconds with my old mortgage company. This after having to attempt the call 6 times to even get it to connect to their number. They did not send me a 1098 form, and I can't finish my taxes without it.

Very irritated with the number of places that neglected to send out tax forms this year. Doing my taxes should not take this long.

ETA: 45 minutes on hold to find out that I have to submit my request in writing.

carissa32581 · March 2014

DH has a cold which is obviously worse than his pregnant wife having diarrhea half the night (almost positive it was food poisoning).

Our high temp today so far has been 18. There is ice on the ground but we still had school. My sick butt really wanted to stay home.

I'm starving now but because of last night's fun I'm scared to eat much oter than dry toast.

I need a nap and some snuggles but DH works till 10. Who am I kidding....he would just whine about his cold.

I'm a big ole pregnant whine bag today!

pistolpackinmomma · March 2014

DS woke up on the wrong side of the bed and has been hell all day, I can't poop even though I really want to, and nothing fucking sounds good. Fuck Monday all together. Oh and we got 5" of snow dumped on us yesterday/last night and I have no clue how much ice is underneath. I cannot be stuck in this house all damn week if it's going to be like today! Besides, I'm supposed to be meeting a friend on Thursday.

kshampeny · March 2014

@sheriot OMG! I would be livid with my DH if that happened! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be talking to him alternating with flaying him up one side and down the other. And I would make sure I guilted him into as many new post pregnancy clothes/shoes as I wanted, i.e. massive shopping spree.

jjtyler · March 2014

I fell asleep at midnight and woke up at 12:05 to puking in my hand and barely making it to bathroom for the rest. Then I cough/gagged at myself for the next 15 minutes...because I haven't puked in years (I had ass morning sickness)....

Pregnancy is fun.

Jennyinheaven · March 2014

Mh was sick last week same story, you would have thought he was dying, even though I had the same thing a few days earlier went to work am almost 8 months pregnant and could take no medicine, MH apparently had it worst than me even thoughhe took off , enjoying a cocktail of medicine and I watited on him.

THIS. Still waiting for my 401K information and going to flip my shiz soon.

Isn't this always the case with men? My husband has a little cold and acts like he is dying. I have the freaking norovirus and only miss one day of work -- in which I happen to have my 18 month old son that day because he is sick, too.

Bootsie327 · March 2014

Also, there are multiple people who have dry coughs here at the office who have been coughing all day and are not covering their mouths when they cough. I may go on a killing spree soon, so, just FYI.

stinamarie412 · March 2014

I can't stop vomiting in my mouth, reflux is stupid.

awc1986 · March 2014

I can't even begin with how much I've hated today. My bathroom reno was supposed to start but our builder has sliced a tendon in his thumb. our toilet and basin were meant to be delivered, but they forgot to put them on the truck so DH took a day off for no reason. I offered to work from home weds to take delivery, but my boss is a monumental dick and won't let me, so my dad has to house sit. Someone else took the credit at work for something I did.

The only good bit of my day was going to ikea. That's how crap it was.

Teneniel · March 2014

We're buying a house and today marked the third one to fall through. So it's safe to say eff this day, hard and fast, no lube.

lindseylu10 · March 2014

I have a stye in my eye... I told my hubby I might as well just get an eye patch and add to the 3rd tri freakshow that is my body.

keeumm · March 2014

10th snow day this year. They are now adding on to the school year, thus cutting into summer vacation and my maternity leave.

I'm all for working during spring break, since this is a slightly longer spring break than what we would normally get. I'm NOT okay with losing summer vacation. The kids check out as soon as June 1 hits. The idea of making them continue longer is not going to serve anyone well.

Oh, and did I mention that all of the roads are not clear, and that it's supposed to be negative temps tonight? So we may not be done with snow days.

March is certainly coming in like a lion. Please change to a lamb soon.

Mamazon2014 · March 2014

My dad Who lives out of state sent me money via Western Union for some baby stuff he wanted to take care of on his end. Well he copied down the wrong set of numbers and WU will not release the money even though I have all the other personal details, just not the tracking #. I called my dad to let him know and to get the right # but he can't find it.

Then my doc office called to let me know I failed my 1hr and need to take the three hour on Thursday. They told me to stop in and grab the instructions for the special diet I'm supposed to follow, but when I got there, the entire staff was having an office meeting and there was no one around at the desks. I came back an hour later right before they typically close but they were still in their meeting according to the sign on the receptionist desk, so now I'm stuck trying to figure out the diet on my own. Grrrr.

And I have the most annoying asshat of a friend ever and if she tells me to just be happy or enjoy the experience of pregnancy one more time, I'm going to scream!

Helmink0804 · March 2014

Waited over an hour at the outpatient part of the hospital just for my RhoGram injection. We waited so long that a nurse who kept walking by stopped and asked if we checked in at the front desk or just came back and sat down. There was hardly anyone else in the waiting room. We almost had to leave bc it was taking too long and hubby had to get to work.

One guy where I work had a stomach bug last week and he stayed in the office!! He just shut the door to his personal office and sent out two unnecessarily detailed emails about his ailments and told us he warned us to stay away. Ummmm...yet you're still here along with your germs. Ass hat! If I get sick now...grrrrrrr...

yvanehtnioj · March 2014

Yay for getting a sizeable award for being a named plaintiff in an overdraft class action last year. Boo for tax time!!! We didn't think about the consequences of thousands of dollars worth of 1099 income and didn't set any of the award aside. We went from getting something back to owing $1700. Perfect timing, too.

Mimaloo · March 2014

Fuck you Trader Joe's. The ONE thing I absolutely NEED - my mango sorbet - and you don't have any of it in the store anywhere? Half of the employees are stocking shelves/freezers - the mango sorbet is the only fvcking thing that didn't come in? Fuck you.

Fuck you Babies R Us because I just hate you (although in the end the cashier was confused enough to put through my $15 in coupons so I ended up paying about $40 for 2 Medela nursing tanks - score!).

And a big fuck you to DH's office buddy who had to be all "super employee" and come in while she was sick...with strep throat. DH has been sick since Saturday and if I catch it I'm going to make a special trip to his office so that I can throat punch her.

mileswithmyles · March 2014

I spilled my caffeine free diet coke I bought today on my lunch break. Boo!

I work with a woman whose kid goes out in this weather with no coat and in shorts. I'm close enough to her where I can say WTF? She rolls her eyes and says it's easier to just let it go than fight it out with him. He's in high school. Also, my 10 year old cousin flat out refuses to wear a coat - maybe it's a boy thing?

I got strep throat a few year ago. I was crying it hurt so bad and I didn't cry when I needed my appendix out. DH said, "I can't believe this is happening to me." He wasn't sick but bought a face mask to wear because he couldn't get sick; he was in law school....

Cupcakes89 · March 2014

Was stuck on the phone with Medicaid for over an hour today.. by the time they answered they couldn't answer my question and now want to talk to my husband instead.. bleh

My ob office called today. Normally it's the nurse and she tells me what's up but today it was the secretary and she wouldn't say. " we need you to come in on Wednesday to talk about the 3 hour test you had" then I go.. "did I fail? I can't come in Wednesday but I have an appointment on Monday" then she repeats herself. I say I can't come in again there's no way of getting there Wednesday " so did I fail? Can I find that out?" She says sorry you need to come in. Ugh!

I assume I failed my 3 hour... guess I won't find out till Monday....

Also my DH has to pay a couple hundred dollars for his pills every month now instead of around $50 bucks

Don't know if this would help you, but the same thing happened to me when the new plan year rolled over for my P17 shots. I talked to the company, and they said that even though the new copay was double the previous one, it would cover twice as much medication as my OB had currently prescribed. So essentially, I was able to get my prescription re-written so that I got 2 months of P17 at a time instead of 1. I pay twice the copay as I used to, but it works out to costing the same.

Don't know if that would work for you, but just in case.

NorthernGal248 · March 2014

So the birth center I have been have my maternity care is really sketching me out. One of the midwives referred me over to a high risk obgyn without letting me know what is going on. I can't get a hold of the midwife until tomorrow, and she is the only one who can tell me what's going on because she didn't make any notes on my chart. I will be switching practices because I don't feel comfortable with the way I have been treated (there are more examples) and I am just so annoyed that the birth center isn't taking this seriously! Especially considering I'm already in the third trimester!

chillypenguin · March 2014

Seriously Amazon has a 30 day return policy on a lot of items? I ordered shoes and they didn't fit, so I kept meaning to return them but I forgot. And evidentially now I can't, that sucks! They are brand new and it has been less than 2 months.

Also, I got a package from Babies R Us and the online picture was different than what I received and I am irrationally upset! It's really not a big deal and I only spent $15, but what's the point of the picture then? DH thinks I am crazy. It's not been a good online shopping day for me...

mommar13 · March 2014

Fuck ice. I live in the south. We don't get ice in March. Yet last night we had thunder, lightening, tornados, and a ton of ice. Ice. Tornados. Wtf. So we had no power from about 1 this morning until about 30 minutes ago. Do you know how hard it is to find a pre-pregnancy coat that will zip now? If you haven't tried it, don't. It's depressing.

lauralou3x3 · March 2014

Iron, why you make me no poop? What the crap? Pun intended!

cnbean · March 2014

@NorthernGal248

What birth center are you going to? I live in Anchorage and I've had wonderful experiences at Geneva Woods.

NorthernGal248 · March 2014

@cnbean I live in the interior.. I was going to the Alaska Birth and Family Center in Fairbanks. I would love to have more options, sadly it's the only birth center in the area.

cnbean · March 2014

@NorthernGal248 Bummer. Hopefully you can find a great OB who is better at communicating with you. Good Luck!
