Monday morning vents

jf198400 · April 2014

I had a rough weekend. DS was sick with a high fever all weekend. We spent 2hrs at cvs minute clinic yesterday and the nurse couldn't find anything wrong with him. No ear infection, no strep, no flu. So I had a fussy clingy kid all weekend and couldn't do anything except give him Tylenol. DH is still recovering from knee surgery so I also had to do the grocery shopping and laundry in my "free time". When I came home from the grocery store DH was asleep on the couch (kids were napping) and it just made me so frustrated b/c I'm pregnant and all I want is sleep. Oh yea I was also woken up multiple times at night by both children. So I'm actually happy to be at work today b/c I can sit at my desk quietly and no one will bother me.

Sorry for so long, let's here your vents.

@jf198400 - Sorry you had such a crappy weekend. I hope your DS feels better soon. Maybe he is getting some molars in????

My weekend wasn't the greatest either. I worked Saturday and DH had a bunch of crap going on so I was solo with the kids a lot of the time. I enjoy hanging out with them, but I look forward to us all being together on the weekends.

I have to write annual performance reviews for all of my staff this week ::groan::

I feel your pain! DS was out of DC Thursday and Friday due to a stomach bug that was going around, so I was required to take leave for something completely out of my control. Thankfully he hung out with his Dad the majority of Sunday, so I was able to get some gym time in.

This morning was the 30 minute parent-teacher conference for DS, and we were 20 minutes late to it. The teacher was very understanding but I feel horrible about it. It's scheduled early in the morning for a reason-she has to get done so she can receive other children. We are just terrible at. getting out the door with two kids. I mean we totally suck at it! Luckily DS doesn't have any major issues but I also feel like we short changed him by rushing through a meeting that supposed to be all about him.

I got so incredibly sunburn yesterday at the OKC Memorial Marathon. It was cloudy and rainy when I left my house but the sun came out and I spent 5 hours (running and cheering) in direct sunlight with no sunscreen. I feel like an idiot for not putting on sunscreen but really didn't think I'd need it. Lesson learned.

MommaP12 · April 2014

@Mustardseed2007 I am so glad I'm not the only one who sucks at getting out the door. I try so hard not to yell at my 5 year old and instead count, and ask multiple times, but it's usually a tornado. Sigh.

This is week three of five living with my parents and I'm really starting to lose it. Our commute in from their house this morning was 1.5 hours. All of us in the car 1.5 hours crawling in the rain. I'm so over it and we have this week plus 2 more. I could just cry every day about this like a big wuss.

I have to pack my entire office today. I've known about this move for weeks, and have been dragging my feet. 6 small cabinets, 2 large cabinets, 4 small file drawers, 1.5 large, and piles and plies of crap. It's totally my own fault. I've been in this office for 8 years. I hate moving.

I have a presentation in a hour, and have had no time to prepare. Gonna wing it. That always goes well.
:-O

I'm so depressed today. A young couple 33 and 32, were killed in a car accident this weekend. not too far from where I live. They leave behind a 2 year old boy and a 2 month old girl. I just can't stop thinking about it

I had a really good weekend, other than contractions that were pretty intense and would not let up from Friday to Saturday. I went in and it means I need to be more careful not to lift things, carry so much up the stairs, should try to put my feet up more frequently, etc for the rest of the pregnancy. Probably sounds like common sense to others but my care provider told me at the start of the pregnancy that I should keep doing the stuff I normally do until it hurts to continue & this practice really emphasizes the importance of exercise - which I took very literally and I've been trying to keep my activity levels up, thinking an active pregnancy is a healthy pregnancy. It hasn't hurt, I'm not out of breathe, so I thought I was doing well (actually, I thought I should be doing more). I guess my uterus disagrees, so now I'll keep it to prenatal workouts and walking only - that is, after I've been contraction free for at least a few days. I don't know how I'm going to realistically not pick my 35 lb kid up, but I guess I'll figure it out. I'm just a bit baffled - delivered my first at 41wks & 2 days.

mae0111 · April 2014

Another one... I finally made up my mind to buckle down on my diet. I've been hovering around 4-5lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight, and DD2 is 13 months old. It's time. I need to lose the last bit of weight.

But I'm STARVING. I seriously can't stop myself from eating. I'm out of good food, and I'm about to break into my stash of hershey's kisses.

Oh my. I will keep those poor babies in my thoughts. I am sheepishly walking away with my vent that pales in comparison. Oh that poor family!

I have an executive team briefing this afternoon that I tried valiantly to get out of. But apparently I'm the only person who can talk about these subjects to our chairman, CEO, all our executive VPs and multiple VPs. How I'm supposed to convey an air of authority and executive presence while breathing through contractions every few minutes is kind of escaping me. Oh, and super-lucky me. This morning my MIL decided to inform me that I'm so much bigger this pregnancy, she's just really surprised. Um, no, I'm not. I'm a full clothing size smaller, I'm just carrying differently. So I get to walk into the exec briefing knowing I look like a whale. Before that, I thought I looked nice today. Hair curled, makeup on, my most professional maternity attire. Oh well. Maybe my water will break before the presentation.

MommyAtty · April 2014

@PrivacyWanted‌ ,I'm 37 weeks, 3 days, so I'm full-term. DD was born 10 days early, so if he stays put another week, he will mirror where his sister was. Thanks for asking! (And I told my boss this morning I may be doing a lot of work from home this week, which he was good with. I don't think he cares as long as he doesn't have to do this briefing for the execs today!)

emberlee3 · April 2014

Today is day 8 out of a 14 day stretch at work. I am glad I pushed through my exhaustion and got some chores done last night, but I am freaking tired today. More coffee, please!

I'm pretty sure, remembering back to college, that on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, "shelter" was before "Mommy on call 24/7". Just sayin.

mae0111 · April 2014

Aaaaand just got a call that DD1 threw up at school. Stellar. Poor kid. There is no way DD2 is not getting this. Hmm... Maybe that means weight loss is in my future after all. "I'm just one good stomach virus away from my goal weight..."

kmh2201 · April 2014

My SIL never ceases to irritate me. She is coming down to visit next week (staying at another relative's house), and we're trying to work out a time to get together. She apparently only wants to go to this indoor gym place, which we refuse to take our kids to. Everytime we take DS to a place like that, he gets a stomach bug. Not going to go through that, especially when he just had a stomach bug only a month ago. DH told her why we don't want to go to to the indoor gym, and proceeded to snark him out about "well, don't you send DS to daycare?" and "aren't you going to send him to school?." I'm so tired of her acting like she's so much better than everyone because she has a "hard life" and is a SAHM. (By "hard life" I mean they made the sh*tty decision to live in BFE and her to SAHM, even though her DH is unemployed in two weeks.)

Ughhh that's the worst. Good Luck! Fwiw dd and DH have had the stomach bug before and me and DS escaped it somehow.

shakinros · April 2014

DH is on a business trip this week so DD decided to send him off this morning by having one epic meltdown after another. I'm not sure if I should feel bad for him that she shrieked "no daddy! No daddy!" When he asked for a goodbye hug or if I should be jealous he's out of town!

My new job that we moved across the country for 3.5 months ago is boring. I'm beginning to suspect it will always be boring.

jesuisfatiguee · April 2014

It's not morning, but I want to bitch.

The company I work for is pissing me off. The software keeps glitching. AND it's end of month so everyone's scrambling to get invoicing done.

DS is still sick and cried again at DC drop-off. I really wanted to just stay home with him, but I needed to come in today. Frick

iverske9 · April 2014

I am officially back to work last week after my maternity leave and I was happy to go back but exhausted. I forgot how tiring it is to get up with a newborn, LOL. Must have blocked it out from the first time.

PSU_Texan · April 2014

I think I might have pink eye.. enough said.

jf198400 · April 2014

I have another one. I want a new house. We live in a townhouse and overall it is nice, but we want more space. We were hanging out at my MILs yesterday. They have a huge yard, flat driveway, quiet neighborhood. It's like the absolute perfect outside space for kids. I wish we could swap houses with them. They are empty nesters and it's ridiculous to me that they just put on an addition to make their house even bigger.

I seriously need to stop looking at houses online. I found the perfect house and now I'm feeling totally depressed that we are at least a year away from moving. I feel like there's only been like 1 perfect house on the market each year, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find one when were finally ready to buy. I'm afraid we'll end up homeless living with my ILs and have to settle for an "okay" house.

Stupid pointless vent, sorry.
