Re: *Monday Bitchfest*
Exactly as PP said. Call the cops next time, you never know you could be preventing something really bad from happening next time.

So @zarakella I have the same bump at the boobs issue. From the front it's a question of fatter or pregnant, but from my angle up top, I have a distinct bump in place. When my mother in law griped that I wasn't looking that pregnant yet, I texted her this picture instead, so she can see what I see. Total bump!
Frick frack! I have the attach button from here, but it's doesn't freakin work! Never mind. No pic.
If he can't help you make a plan (budget) then how can he expect you to follow what doesn't exist? A budget is just a written plan.
My supervisor does crap like this. It's like I'm expected to pass tests that I wasn't even aware I was taking. So...how does he expect you to know what is "too much" if you both don't define what too much actually is to you?
@futuremrsbrian Bummer! I'd be upset too. And it doesn't matter if other people find it silly or not. It's something you really wanted to do. ((hugs))
@helloblueeyes
You're a much better person than me for standing around that long. Those danged pizza places are birth control. You see that many screaming impolite people/kids in one room & it scares the bejeebus out of me.
I once had to tell three 13 year olds to stop running at Chuck E. Cheese because they nearly mowed down my 2 year old. And the place was pretty empty on a weekday before lunch. Their three moms were sitting around talking while their three teenagers tormented each other with Nerf guns. I was MAD.
Second, SIL sounds like a real peach! That story makes me want to have a drink.

This was me all last week. It sucks!
2) when I asked him to get me an iced tea or a coke (as second choice) he sweetly goes... But comes back with a Snapple and gets pissy when I say "thank you but I don't want that. I will go get it myself." I'm pretty sure he stomped his feet. WTH? I gave you two options; so don't get pissed at me when you tried to skip the line for fountain drinks and get me something you have never in your life seen me drink.
3) I just want to get to Kauai and sleep for a couple more hours before we have an adventure. No such luck though as we can't check in for 6 more hours.
Two of my SILs did that with stuff on my bridal registry. One bought me a different down comforter because it was better than one I registered for. Ok, whatever. Another one bought me totally different wine glasses because she liked them better. They were so tall they wouldn't even fit in my cabinet. She included a gift receipt, so back to the store they went and I bought the ones I wanted. My MIL also told me at the time that she checked out the silverware on my registry and that it was cheap and I should pick something else out. I did and then two other SILs bought me a completely different set anyway.
I know its considered rude to complain about gifts, but seriously?
Effing gross! The controller at the place I used to work was notorious for not washing her hands after using the bathroom. She also used to reach her nasty hands into whatever you were eating for lunch to try a bite. It was disgusting, and no matter how much lyscol spray we used on door handles and around the office everyone got sick all the time. Ugh, just thinking about it is making me ill! I don't miss anything about that woman.
She was a nice lady though. (I say this after talking shit about anybody, I feel like it makes everything OK)

Edit to show quote break.******************************************-***
My MIL did this with my bridal shower as well. We registered for a nice tea kettle that matched our decor. My MIL bought us TWO tea kettles that of course do not match at all.
She didn't even get them because she thought we would like them. She loves tea and explicitly stated that she likes THESE kettles and will use them for HER tea when she visits. Wtf?! I also know that this is a present and I should be grateful, but she JUST told me that she bought us a present for herself, and since she didn't like what we picked out she took the liberty of buying what she liked better.
I felt guilty for about two seconds before putting her teapots in the closet. We received the other kettle from our registry and I use that one. So go get your bottle rack!!
Working Spring Breaks sucks. This is the first time I have had to work spring break with a teenager at home and peeling him off of games when I get home is an effen nightmare, at least it was yesterday. An afternoon of meltdowns and standing my ground on reading a book, playing outside, anything other than games after I got home.
I feel like a loser mom because I didn't prepare for him this week to be able to hang out with friends or do anything. I thought because I only work 20 hours I would be okay but now all his friends have plans and he feels like he has no friends because nobody's available. I'm usually the cool mom who takes him and his friends to do awesome things and I can't do that right now. Dealing with major mom guilt right now. Effen sucks.
Disclaimer: I was SO fortunate to stay home on spring breaks for twelve years and probably didn't appreciate them then. Also I'm EXTREMELY fortunate to only have to work 20 hours. Maybe I need to focus on all the good instead of all the bitchy about how this blows right now. I can't even begin to imagine what you moms who work 40 hours with school age children do. You rock my socks off. Actually maybe you have some tips? Feeling the mom guilt so bad.
I'm contemplating calling and "tattling" today. I'm starting to cramp, which shouldn't be happening while I'm on the shot. It makes me think she really did screw up my shot by injecting it too high. I don't know if that's even possible, but I'm wondering. Maybe that would be enough of a complaint to get them to swap back. This girl is used to dealing with older women getting gyno exams, not the pregs!
Supposedly, this shot is supposed to stop contractions (from what the dr said). The only time I have had contractions with it is when I was due for another shot and the medicine was wearing off. They told me that it was common to have contractions a day or so before getting your next injection. I'm waiting to see if it turns into regular contractions before calling. I'm in there once a week, so I'm sure they already get annoyed by me. They know me by name - all of them! Lol. If nothing comes of it, then I will just mention it at my next appointment.
