Random Thoughts! - aka I'm all UO'd out but still have stuff to say

I didn't see a thread today, but I can't think of any more UOs. And honestly I'm not in the mood. I imagine many of you aren't either. We all have some serious stuff going on right now, both good and bad.
I can, however, think of some random thoughts that want to come out but can't find an appropriate thread in which to express themselves.
Anybody up for an Express Yourself thread this evening? Vents/bitches, opinions, happy thoughts, sad thoughts, hopes, fears, brags, etc?
And let's keep it civil, please. Who wants to start?

Re: Random Thoughts! - aka I'm all UO'd out but still have stuff to say
This is incredibly petty and I know it, but I'm annoyed that I got mostly baby clothes and random accessories at my sprinkle on Sunday, when everyone knew I was hoping for diapering, feeding, and stain removal supplies. Returns are easy and I was happy to get to hang out with my friends and family, so I am grateful that they did anything at all for me since this is my second baby, but I guess it's still natural to be a little bummed.
ETA: I have a brag too. That growth ultrasound made me doubly proud of the fact that I've only gained 10 lbs so far with this pregnancy (I'm obese, so it was very important that I be careful about my weight) and I'm still able to work out a couple of times a week.
DS: 11/8/11 | 9 lb 7 oz, 22 in
DD: 5/22/14 | 9 lb 9 oz, 21.5 in
Plus a vent because my only emotion seems to be rage right now.
I am so pissed at my Dr. right now I don't even want to bother going to my appointment next Tuesday. They keep talking about inducing me then making me come for appointments to talk about it then deciding not to even though they are concerned about shoulder distocia due to an estimated 9# or over kid with shoulders above the 95th percentile. Stop making me drive 30 miles roundtrip to tell me dick. I'm done with appointments the kid will get here when he damn well pleases according to you so f*ck off. I'm so grouchy and over it- my due date is Saturday and all the calls/texts/comments from family and friends are making me feel stabby. I almost don't want to tell any of them when he comes out of spite but I'm an AW so I'm just bluffing on that.
Sorry, taking random thoughts to heart.
I love how my mom and grandma keep calling me asking about the baby who they state they won't drive across town to see and can't help me with and proceed to complain that I best tell them when I deliver him! Ha! Yeah freaken right your my first call please. My grandma also states multiple times she'd much rather it be a girl bc everyone likes girls better...no grandma your insane and your the only one who cares
However on the bright side it's a gorgeous 83 out today and sunny and it looks like we are sticking in the 70s for the next week - spring and summer are on their way!
Also, we've had to spend big chunks of money on our newer car the past two months (separate issues). It is making an odd sound, so it is being looked at again! I really hope it is nothing or an easy/cheap fix. It is getting annoying...
22 is numerical perfection. My all time favorite number.
I like evens and dislike odds. I classify things (non math/number related things) as either even or odd, depending on how they "feel". Most things also get a number assignment and a color.
For example, my husband is an even, bright green (despite the fact that bright green is obviously odd), 9 (and that's odd too. But he's even. Promise). I am an even, periwinkle, 22. My father is an odd, 3, yellow.
So..... Kind if irrelevant to your thought. But I'm a fan of 22.
DH majored in math and biology, and he likes to stay sharp at both, and one of his methods of doing so is to teach me what he knows. It's among my favorites. (The only not-my-favorite part is when I forget not everyone is like me and DH, and, as mentioned before, I use math or science jargon in a sentence with someone who doesn't live at my house. Whoops. Hence the Completely Random Opinion above.)
Shut the front door, watermelon Oreos?! Don't mind if I do...
Oh and this morning some idiot walked by me with his friends and said to them "Someone's pregnant." Um ok?
I have gone from feeling like a cute pregnant woman that people smile at to a freakishly pregnant woman people gawk at.
2.) I'm a math nerd. I love calc and trig. Trig proofs rock my socks as do differential equations. You can hate me, I'm used to it.
3.) Despite my lack of progress I'm still determined to try to get this kid out before Thursday. I'd love for it to be Saturday or Sunday but we'll see.
4.) Tomorrow is National Moscato Day (according to my mother) and I have a bottle in the fridge. I guess I'll just be celebrating a day late.
5.) I clearly have a lot of random thoughts.
6.) I need motivation. I need to finish cleaning the kitchen, pick up toys, sweep the floors, wash 2-3 loads of laundry (maybe more), and make curtains for my living room and dining room doors.
7.) I have to have even numbers when it comes to eating candies like skittles or m&ms but want an odd number of kids (5 or 7 has always been my ideal but DH is fine with 2) for that distinctive middle child.
8.) I'm probably happier than I should be that MIL has to work next Thursday, the day of my RCS, and won't be able to pop in very much but my parents are both taking the day off work. At the same time when she told me this yesterday I couldn't help but think that she only visited for 20-30 minutes the day DS was born so why would this one be any different?
9.) I need to go to the grocery store but I forget half of the things I was going to put on my list. Oops.
10.) I don't really have a 10 but wanted to make it to an even 10.
Happy Endings
Le sigh: DD1 was sent home from daycare today with a 103 fever and threw up at home. I really worried about keeping DD2 healthy while not making DD1 feel bad about not being able to hold or touch her. She seems to be a good sport about it though.
Edited for clarity.
I am geeking out over all of the math love! I knew you were my people
"Equates to" or "practically equates to" ?
I'm beginning to feel like that I'll never feel normal again. Meaning that even when baby is out, I'll still have a hard time getting off the couch, or switching sides while sleeping.
I'm being induced on the 19th, and don't like being told that pitocin contractions are 10 times worse than regular contractions. I know I'll get the epidural, but I wanted to wait a while before getting it. Now I feel like I don't want to waste a minute without it!
I'm terrified to give birth! But I understand this baby needs to come out somehow. I'm also terrified to care for this baby once it's on the outside, I'm scared I'm gonna mess it up somehow.
Tomorrow is my last day of work and I can't wait for it to be over!! I wish I got more than 6wks off though. But the bills need to be paid and I need to work in order to get money.
2. A couple people told me today that Sonic sells bags of their ice. If they are lying I will be mad.
3. I like odd numbers better than even
I think of odd numbers as cold and even as hot. And I love some mathematical proofs! (And diagramming sentences...anything that remotely may be considered a combination od English and math.)
4. I would like Moscato now please.
ETA: I can't forget my new find: a vericose vein from hell. Huge, ugly, painful, and right where my leg meets my pubic area. Sexy.
That's one of the symbols I was referring to. The other one is an equals sign with a dot on it, but I can't seem to copy and paste it in here. That one shows up a lot in Calculus, when dealing with values approaching limits.
I want to lose weight and I want to lose weight now. Baby come on. I also want DH to lose weight and it is easier when we are both trying to lose weight.
I also feel bad that I had sex today and am planning on going to the doctor tomorrow and asking for a membrane sweep. I keep thinking how nasty that is.
See siggy. Nom moscato. In all seriousness, I don't care if LO doesn't come today, I'm still having my moscato.

May 2014 January Siggy Challenge:
Very impressive! Check out YouTube they have lots of tutorials on how to use baby carriers and how to nurse in one. Although with the ergo you'll have to wait until LO can hold her head up.
Random vents. Why why why did I think it would be a good idea to put prunes in DD's oatmeal this morning. I've changed more poop/diarrhea diapers than I can remember today and poor DD now has a serious diaper rash.
WTF cleaning lady that I hired to deep clean my condo before LO arrives. The more I look around the more I find things that didn't get cleaned. Under the couch, under the beds and bathroom fan are still full of dust. There is hair stuck under the dining chairs. The underside of the toilet and microwave are gross. The upper kitchen cabinet doors got wiped down but not the lower cabinets. What did you do for the 6 hours you spent cleaning my tiny 2bed, 1 bath 700sqft condo???
