I'm tired and want coffee but the brand of coffee we have in the house sucks. I hate it. My choices are drink crappy coffee or have no coffee. No-one wins.
If one more person asks me if they can come over to see the baby I might scream.
And seriously MIL, stop making excuses to come see the baby. I can see right through the "oh so and so gave me a gift for the baby and I need to drop it off" and the "I picked up some wipes at Costco, can I drop them off?" and translate it to "I want to come stare at the baby." You do not need to visit every day!!!

Called the pediatrician to make sure Colic Calm was ok to give LO. Missed their callback because we were trying to get a little more sleep...and their only message was to call them back. I called them back, and am now again waiting for their call. Phone tag while taking care of a newborn makes me ragey.
SIL why do you say you miss the kids and want to come see them but once we try to make plans you never want to do anything! Stop telling me you miss seeing the kids and want to come over then never do! It's annoying!
LO was awake all morning and fussy while we ran to whole foods. He was screaming in the car and falls asleep as soon as we get inside the house. I do a happy dance and he wakes screaming and hungry. I guess I'm just meant to sit in a chair and nurse all day.. at least I've got tv for my only adult interactions
Also, I laid down (chest down) in the bathtub today and hand expressed trying to get rid of it. Expressing milk under water is really frickin cool looking.
Duct is still clogged.
*RAGE*

DH took Friday night for me--equipped with two bottles of pumped BM. He then told me (Saturday) "Now I know how you feel." And took a nap for 3 hours in the afternoon. I wanted to bludgeon him. Still love him...just wanted to maim him a bit.
There's no good food in the house. My postpartum figure should be thankful... but I feel ragey about the serious lack of chocolate in my life.
Edited bc clearly I'm sleep deprived
DH wants to have sex way more often then me and gets mad when we can't. Sex doesn't feel good to me right now, I hope that changes, but I don't want it. We have two kids, a toddler and a newborn, you work nights. How the crap do you expect us to have sex in the middle of the day?
I got both kids to daycare today and commuted to work just to find out that they forgot I was coming back today and didn't have my account reactivated. I was so mad because I was ready to work and had to get everything ready for daycare today. So I ended up turning it into a me day. Still mad that they didn't have my shit ready though.
@ghostof5letters do you have a clarisonic or anything that has gentle vibration like that?
My clarisonic was a godsend for clogs last time. I just massaged over the area with it in a hot shower.
That's a great idea! I mean, I don't have a clarsonic, but I've got some vibrating options.

Blew a tire with just me and the baby in the car. Had to wait for OH to get to me to take the car to the garage/let me take his car to go out. I can change a tire myself but needed to drive further than the temp tire would allow so we switched cars. I'm not getting my car back til Wednesday so have to take my mother in law's car to go to the movie with DD1 tomorrow. I hate her car.
Some wench who was supposed to be picking up some clothes I sold on Craiglist is apparently blind. Meet at this place, my car looks like this. I got there early but 30 minutes later, I give up and leave then she calls DH who set it up to say she can't see me. Weird, I was there in an open space and the only car of that colour in the whole lot so not sure how that works. So I spent 25 minutes standing in a parking lot by the car and came home with the clothes/no money.
It's impossible to get bras in this country. I'd have more chance of finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn that poops rainbows than finding my size because I happen to be a ridiculously impossible size.
My milk supply still sucks...no matter how much I pump, nurse and take fenugreek and drink mothers milk tea I still only pump about 2 oz per session and when I nurse I have to supplement. I'm going to loose it soon!
I took LO for a walk so I could find an outfit for Friday night since DH and I are finally getting a night out, going to dinner in the city and staying overnight while my mom watches her. As soon as I stepped into the boutique, she started screaming her head off so I had to leave. I refuse to wear maternity clothes. I want to feel like a human not a post pregnancy mess for the night...well try again tomorrow.
Oh also we are going to a wedding in October and the expenses are getting out of hand. The bride is lovely, but totally out of touch with reality as far as money is concerned. I shit you not when I say that the least expensive hotel room option they have listed is over $200/ night. If this wasn't one of DHs besties it would not be happening. And no, not a destination wedding either.
@MSUDucks Is it in a downtown/popular touristy area? Or on a Friday or Saturday? In my area atleast, hotels tend to be way pricier on the weekend. Especially in a popular area. Sometimes booking.com tends to have better prices listed. I spent ONE night away after using booking.com at 4 star hotel and it was a little over $300. That was with tax. Originally, they were asking $500+.
And seriously MIL, stop making excuses to come see the baby. I can see right through the "oh so and so gave me a gift for the baby and I need to drop it off"
Mine does this exact thing too and it irritates me because it's so transparent. I want to tell her relatives to start sending gifts for our kids straight to us! Once I got one and the card had already been opened. That super irritated me and made me wonder if money had been sent with it.
That is so shady!!!
@NugsMom I seriously think there is a switch that goes off once their sons get married so that they go from sweet mother to weird and annoying MIL!! At least DH is on my side though--when she came by to drop something off today he told her DD and I were sleeping so that she wouldn't stay.

Yup, downtown Chicago, 4 seasons, on a Saturday. I mean, I get why those rooms are expensive, it's just a bit much to expect from guests I think. Because we have to take DD and I want to be where the reception is it'll be close to 400. I think I'm grouchy because I'm on mat leave and am trying to be cautious of spending.
Lol Oh damn. Yea, that'd be pricey. I'd be taking my ass home. Sorry it's so costly!
Dh stop taking tags off of new clothes that I have put aside to exchange! Lo has a 6 drawer dresser slam damn full of clothes that are his size and clean
