Slightly early TPT

theholmanherd · August 2014

I don't have internet where I'm staying, so I'm writing this from a friend's house before I head back. So, I'm posting this a little early. Next week, I will be posting WTF and TPT

My TP is everyone getting to be in thunderstorms (Phoenix, and the town I live in that hasn't had a thunderstorm in YEARS) and I'm missing out on all of it. I LOVE THUNDERSTORMS. But, apparently, they don't love me back. Boo. Kind of a lame, TP, but that's all I've got for now. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

BunnyBerry · August 2014

My TP goes to insomnia - it rarely hits me (thankfully) but of course when you most need to be well-rested, that's also when life is busiest, and it's hard to fall asleep due to my mind racing and apparently solving all my problems, planning, reflecting.

Two nights ago, my brain decided to wake up at 3am and spend 2 hours literally working out a script for dozens of mini instructional videos as I prepare to flip a class this fall (put the teacher-led instruction online for students to do at home).

I just like following a healthy, balanced life schedule and don't like to adjust (and feel like a zombie) when sleep is elusive.

Just want to say - for any of you who struggle with insomnia regularly, like my poor bro who can go days before his body lets him sleep - I am so sorry and throat punch it on your behalf.

Pintobean39 · August 2014

I want to throat punch my husband. He has high blood pressure and ADD and takes medication everyday. He seems to forget all the time to get his RX's filled. The other day I noticed he's out of all his med and I reminded him once again like I always have to do to get it filled. Then I noticed on the bottle it's been since FEBRUARY since he got his RX filled and it's only a 2 month supply and that time I had to freak out then to get it filled. I LOST IT!!! I'm sure the lupron I'm on isn't helping.

Seriously I am NOT his mom, he's a 39 year old man and needs to be responsible to take his med everyday and when he runs out he needs to be responsible enough to get it filled on his on. So you know what he tells me??? "I don't like taking it because it makes me pee a lot". I don't give a fuck! How dare he say that to me. I've been injecting shit in my body since January. The handful of pills I'm taking now doesn't even compare to his 3 tiny pills, yet I remember every day to take them without having anyone remind me and I'm also doing injections everyday by myself. The only side effect is that he has to "pee a lot for a couple of hours". I only wish that was my only side effect, right now I'm having hot flashes, crazy dreams, and I don't like anyone. I've gained 20lbs, my sugar has gotten out of wack.

What's worse is he's a damn Dr and he knows what happens to people with high blood pressure that don't keep it under control. I ripped him a new one,
he's still tiptoeing around me.

--baby and loss mentioned---

I would like to TP a girl I barely know. Her boyfriend worked for DH several years ago and they were fairly chummy. We have hung out with them a handful of times, almost always in a group situation. To be completely honest, I really can't stand this girl. She's loud, crass, a little on the trashy side and a TOTAL one upper....she can't let anyone tell a story without interrupting to tell how she did it better or had it worse.

Anyway....she has a toddler from a previous relationship and for a while she's been tagging DH and I in pictures of him so that "Aunt Anna and Uncle DH" can make sure we see them. I think it's weird...but whatever it's not very frequent.

She knows we are trying for a baby and knows we have had some trouble. No details because, again, I don't really know her that well.

So last summer, she and I got a BFP the same month...mine quickly ended in a loss at 9 weeks. They threw a party the day after she POAS and told everyone they were moving to California so we HAD to come say goodbye. When we got there "just kidding, we are pregnant!!!" Douche move.

So, over the course of her pregnancy (that she's knows good and well would've coincidenced with mine) she TAGS me and DH in every sonogram, maternity picture, gender reveal and random trashy naked belly shot she took. The first "oh look I have a bump" picture she posted she was sticking her tongue out and flipping off the camera. Classy.

Now the baby is here and she tags us in probably 8 pictures a day...no exaggeration. I barely know her and the sting of my loss gets to me with every post. I guess she thinks we are BFFs or something so I don't have the heart to ask her to stop. My FB wall is over run by pictures of a baby I haven't even met! And another thing, they named him Anigilieo. What the hell is that??? I don't even know how you would pronounce that... Ugh....TP TP TP!

So it's so long....I needed to vent!

Pintobean39 · August 2014

@AnnaClaire256‌ what a bitch!!! I'm sorry.

LindseyM2012 · August 2014

@AnnaClaire256 - Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of that! Extra TP to her and her crass/rude behavior.

@Pintobean39 - How frustrating! If he has an iPhone, make him get the Walgreens app for pill and refill reminders. Or set a reminder on his phone. It might not work, but it's worth a try, if you haven't already done that. UGH!

@amylev80 - I don't know how you put up with college kids! Hat tip to you.

@DarcyHermione - Shouldn't you be getting those results any day now? Hasn't it been almost a week?? Get on it, doctors!

@BunnyBerry - I feel you on the racing thoughts!

@theholmanherd and @GinnyJones82 - What IS with the weather? I like fall, but c'mon. Give me a good, WARM summer thunderstorm (We've had some good thunderstorms in Chicago, but they certainly haven't been warm).

Are you sure we aren't married to the same man as this exact thing happened as I was leaving the house on Tuesday and WWIII erupted over it.

I have a double TPT this week.

First to my coworker. We have a 3 person dept. Our one girls is out on vacation that she has planned and told us about in Feb. We went over summer schedules at the last 2 meetings. Well I'm covering for this week. No biggie. I get an email from the other girl that she's leaving and noon today and isn't coming in tomorrow because she is due for her routine colonoscopy and I need to cover her also. Really? WTF. you knew we were short this week. Why the fuck would you schedule your test for this week.

My second TPT goes to GM. I got yet another recall notice for my car yesterday. That's 4 recalls in the last month and the parts to fix them aren't available for any of the recalls. It has been decided that I need a new car sooner rather than later. We were hoping to hold off another year, but we've decided that my vehicle of death needs replacing. I haven't had a car payment in 8 years, this is going to suck.

Pintobean39 · August 2014

@kushie77‌ I hear you on not wanting a car note, the car I'm driving is 10yrs old and we haven't had a car note in about 6 years. I have no problems with my car, it has 167k miles and still drives good but Damit I want a new car.

So let me TP infertility, I spent the money we were planning on saving to buy me a car on IVF and on the 3 medicated cycles. So now if and when we buy a car I have to finance it and we don't want to take on any debt until were done with treatments.

AnnaClaire256 · August 2014

@BunnyBerry‌ insomnia is a nasty bitch. I'm so sorry you're dealing with it. Have you tried some OTC sleep aids? Now that I've broken myself of my ambien addiction I use them occasionally when I can't sleep and they work pretty well.

@GinnyJones82‌ if you jinx this beautiful weather...I'll never forgive you! Lol...really though, if it could be fall year round, I'd be a happy camper. Maybe it can just warm up in your neck of the woods?!

@triathlete23‌ sounds like we are both having some annoying FB tagging issues! I'll throw in a TP for your cousin!

@DarcyHermione‌ & @amylev80‌
Y'all deserve a medal for dealing with teenagers. Every time I see teenagers acting like annoying a-holes I think "man I hope I wasn't like that at that age"...but I'm sure I was to some extent!

@Pintobean39‌ & @kushie77‌ you can add my DH to the list. He has awful acid reflux that he is supposed to take medicine for every morning. The other day I had heartburn and went to get a tums out of a bottle I had recently purchased and it was nearly empty. I asked him why he would be taking TUMS when he has the RX. "I always forget to take it...I'm sleepy in the morning...can you remind me?" No. Grow up.

@BlueJoan‌ Hugs!! I know it's hard. Congratulations on your new nephew. Jealousy is normal...healthy. I'm glad you were able to ward off the constant updates.

Autumray · August 2014

So many TP for you ladies!!!!! My own TP is to my own body.... I am 14dpo ( should have started AF today) but temps are still above cover and no cramping (which I usually get pretty bad) no spotting which I ALWAYS have. Only BFNs too! I really want this cycle to be over with so I can start my new process with my RE!! Of course this cycle would be the funky and off one (first unmedicated cycle in 4 months) but if you look at my chart there is a clear temp shift, I had fertile CM, and CP I just want my body to freaking cooperate.

Hollowvic · August 2014

*******pregnancy mentioned****** I've been waiting for TPT all week, I have a few. First I'd like to TP the cast of Teen Mom 2 (and all the other Teen Mom cast members as well). Second I'd like to TP the Kardashians (with a double TP to Kim). Lastly, but certainly not least I'd like to TP my insensitive boss who knows about my struggle with IF but still feels the need to ask me every month if I'm pregnant yet, also asks me if I'm pregnant every time my stomach is off or I have to pee more often than usual, then proceeds to tell me how she got pregnant the first month she tried both times, she's told me that repeatedly, thanks, that makes me feel so much better!!! It feels good to vent.

shirleymaeby · August 2014

@annaclaire256 - Oh. My. Gawd. I would lose my shit completely if someone was doing that to me. You can have my TP.

@kkeglar13 - So unfair isn't it? My ex-fiancee got his new wife's sister pregnant and then got divorced. And now he is dating MY sister (because she is a real piece of work as well) and SHE has two kids. These two losers get to have kids and I can't? WTAF?

@PintoBean39 - What is it with men, seriously? I know that if I keep doing things for him DH will never learn to do them on his own, but if I don't do things for him shit doesn't get done. Urggghhh!!

Pintobean39 · August 2014

So would it be totally mean to prepare my husbands pill container and add some laxatives in there and tell him it's vitamins? :-)

theholmanherd · August 2014

@BunnyBerry‌ I've had occasional insomnia like that, as well. It is the WORST. And nothing helps....not melatonin, not sleeping pills, not valerian root, nothing! It makes me so stabby and bitchy the next day. And usually it lasts for a week and then disappears for a few months. UGH. I'm sorry you're going through it

@Pintobean39‌ This sounds like something my H would do. In fact, he does this with his vitamins AND eating meals. I have to nag him to do both and I hate it. He's lost almost 20 pounds since I've been gone because he works long hours, straight through any meals, and forgets to eat until he gets home from work (no breakfast either). Drives me nuts because I worry about it and I go through a lot of trouble to make sure there is always a ton of food in the house. I yelled at him a couple weeks ago, but I'm not there so who knows what he's doing now LOL. Men are such children! (((HUGS))) @AnnaClaire256‌, I would unfriend her. Seriously, what would be the loss if you did? She doesn't sound like a friend to me. PURGE HER. At the very least, start untagging yourself every time she does it (see how long it takes for her to notice and stop) or block her from your newsfeed. I'm sorry you have been dealing with that. {BIG HUGS} @BlueJoan‌, I understand how that feels. I love my niece and nephew to pieces, but sometimes it's hard to be around kids. My MIL lives next door and runs a daycare from her house, so I usually have to stay away during the day unless I really need something. (((HUGS))) I hope the feeling passes and you can enjoy being an aunt. It really is fun, but I know it can be difficult at times.

theholmanherd · August 2014

(((HUGS))) @BlueJoan‌ I would just keep my distance for a couple days to collect myself and then make a quick stop to say hi/show support, then try to avoid until you can cope. I'm sorry you're feeling like that. BABIES MENTIONED/FORMATTING NOT WORKING ON IPAD (can't seem to put spaces between paragraphs) Honestly, this is my plan is my SIL has her third in the time it takes us to have our first.

dancerspose · August 2014

i'd like to TP the woman at work who literally just rubbed my stomach and asked if there were any kids yet! WTF...how is that appropriate human behavior?? this person is barely an acquaintance.

dancerspose · August 2014

@BlueJoan I'm so sorry. I just had the same thing happen...my SIL gave birth last night. She and my brother have been together a fraction of the time as my husband and I...it's just not fair. This was the first granchild for my parents so I'm taking it pretty hard. It's also now only a matter of time before the "well now it's your turn" comments start (we've kept our struggles to ourselves so far). I'm sending hugs and positive vibes your way!

Pintobean39 · August 2014

@shafwilson‌ WTF is wrong with people???? You totally have my permission to literally throat punch her!

shirleymaeby · August 2014

@kkeglar13 - I know I shouldn't be so interested in their ongoing drama but it's like a train wreck and I can't look away. Even though my sister knew he cheated on me and his ex-wife. Even though my sister knows his ex-girlfriend (post divorce) who said she broke up with him because he wanted her to stay home and clean his house all day. She still decided to date him. Latest news from my parents is that he made her quit her job so she could stay home and clean. And that they are fighting because she doesn't keep the house clean enough. Tune in next week for more on "The Real TrailerPark Wives of Louisiana".

catlover790 · August 2014

@AnnaClaire256‌ I'm so sorry! I want to TP her for you! What is wrong with people?!

@BlueJoan‌ That must be very hard for you, I'm sorry. It's so hard with family especially.

@Hollowvic‌ I'm with you on the TP for teen mom cast! I don't watch it but just the idea is so annoying! and a huge TP for your boss! That is so unprofessional!! And just mean!

@shafwilson‌ I am shocked! I can't believe you didn't slap her! Wtf is with people?!

pregnancy sort of mentioned**

I would like to (gently) TP my mom. I love her and I know she wants us to have a baby but I'm annoyed by the hints! We were out shopping today and she held up a drapey, loose blouse. She goes, "this would be good if you're hidinggg something! wink wink" I said "well I hope you don't think I look pregnant" She goes, "No, but you might need something like this soon maybe?" I didn't say anything more. I wanted to throw the shirt at her and I was just so sad because I want nothing more than be able to wear maternity clothes! I feel like I can never get a break from the talk of babies and pregnancy. When I go shopping I just want to relax!

dancerspose · August 2014

@catlover790 @Pintobean39 @BlueJoan in the moment I was too stunned to even realize it was happening. And it was like a drive-by stomach rub because she did it and kept on walking by me. Once I realized that, yes, some idiot actually just did that I definitely wish I had slapped her hand or something!

Hollowvic · August 2014

@catlover790‌ I don't watch Teen Mom either but every time I see those girls on TV or in the news I get angry. My boss is mean, she is also completely clueless, the world revolves around her, she doesn't think for a second how her comments make people feel. She is so unprofessional! I finally told her a few months back that we are having TTTC thinking it would give her the hint to stop bringing it up, but nope she continues to ask and comment.

Hollowvic · August 2014

@Pintobean39‌ I hear ya about the H. Sounds like we're married to the same guy lol. All my H has to do is take a freakin supplement twice a day, he complains that it tastes bad and conveniently forgets to take it. Seriously if all I had to do was take a supplement, I would be thrilled. Ugh......feels good to know um not the only one.

BKBABY3 · August 2014

@AnnaClaire256, you can totally have my TP as well. I have nothing that comes close to comparing to that mess of a woman. I agree with others, it is time to unfriend or at least untag. Insensitive asshat!

BunnyBerry · August 2014

@annaclaire256 I'm glad Ambien is working well for you now!

I'm wary of sleep aids, as I already take a ton of meds and hate to add more to the mix. But if it happens more often I will definitely ask the doctor. Thanks!

@theholmanherd Ick, a week of insomnia! I would literally be ready to shoot myself by the end. I looooove sleep. I could literally sleep 11 hours every night if there were time.

Waterlily234 · August 2014

@AnnaClaire256...Aigneoiillo? just, what?? I can't.

I'd like to TP my co-worker, who not only freakin invaded my privacy by peering over my shoulder and examining my laptop screen (which had my RE office/patient portal up on it)...but who then proceeded to suck in air through her teeth and say, "ohhh, how's that going??" to which I replied, "it's going." Meaning, back off bitch.
She then winked and said "Waterlily, do you need me to carry a baby for you?? I mean, it's old, but it can hold. HAHAHAHHA!!!" then walked away.

IT'S OLD, BUT IT CAN HOLD. Put that in your IF tea and drink it, ladies.

BKBABY3 · August 2014

@Waterlily234: Wow. Just Wow. TP x 2.

shirleymaeby · August 2014

@waterlily234 - Seriously made my jaw drop just now. Holy balls this is some week for assholes huh?

LindseyM2012 · August 2014

@waterlily234 - Oh. My. Gosh. Just, oh my gosh! TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP

**Step-child mentioned**

My TPT goes to myself. I just HAD to take a Child & Adolescent Counseling class NOW? As I'm in the midst of adjusting to this diagnosis, testing and treatment planning? And because I am trying to avoid everything child related, including forgoing weekend trips to see my stepson (whom I ADORE, and who was very sad I didn't come with Daddy a couple weeks ago), this class is hard because I just don't want to do any of it. I'm avoiding all my readings and assignments until the last minute and scrambling to do a half-a**ed job in the end. I would have to take this class regardless, but maybe I should have thought a little bit and taken it in a few months. But who knows...it would affect me worse in a couple months. It upsets me because at one point I thought I would specialize in and focus my therapy practice on children and adolescents, but my heart just isn't in it. I wish I could just SUCK IT UP.

AnnaClaire256 · August 2014

@GinnyJones82‌ a boat does sweeten the pot for summertime! Color me jealous!!

@Waterlily234‌ oh nooooooooo! Wtf is wrong with that woman??? Bleh. That is one of the worst things people can say. Just because I can't get pregnant does mean I'm incapable of carrying one. Eff that crap! TP!!!

curve31 · August 2014

@triathlete23 I was a pin cushion today too. She tried twice before calling someone who knew what they were doing.

tweetyknicks · August 2014

@Waterlily234: Woulda lost it. B!tch.

@curve31 @triathlete23: I did that once. It took the (apparent) n00b three tries to hit blood. And I told him how to do it.

shirleymaeby · August 2014

So I didn't need a TP this week until today.

My best friend who is preg and my co-worker who is preg are acquaintances but hadn't seen each other in a few months. Today they ran into each other and BF told the co-worker that she is preg too. And the co-worker goes "Oh, that explains why kmdecoux's been in such a bad mood lately."

Seriously? Fuck her. I have been nothing but polite to her since she announced her BFP. I haven't asked about it at all because I honestly don't want to hear about it as I don't even like her that much anyway. Also, since she had MFI and got KU on IUI #5 you'd think she'd have a little more empathy when finding out that yet another person in my life is KU. But no...it's all about her and how I'm not excited enough for her. I am so full of rage right now it is taking all of my energy not to just walk over to her desk and tell her where to shove it. She doesn't even know what a bad mood looks like but she is about to find out. I haven't had a drink in 2 months and I am thinking today is the day to start drinking again. Heavily.

Thanks for letting me rant. Angry typing has helped get most of the ragey energy out.

ETA: Left out a word.
