It seems like a lot of us are having "a case of the Mondays", so I thought I'd throw this out there in addition to the randoms.. What's annoying you today?

pnwlover12 · August 2014

It would probably be easier for me to list the things not annoying me today.

Today was supposed to be our first day of homeschooling preschool. DS woke up really fussy and then fell back asleep...until 10am! I let him sleep because I wondered if he wasn't feeling well. He's always cheerful and playful when he wakes, usually around 7am. Well, as soon as he had eaten breakfast, he puked everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

Needless to say, we're not doing school today (not a big deal), but DS is grumpy about not being allowed to eat more than toast/crackers, and even though he is in and out of sleeping, every time he wakes up he's fussy and mad.

Ugh...sick toddlers and Mondays!!

My mom texted me on Friday while I was at work and told me she has to go home to Indiana because it is too much for her to be here and she needs to take care of some things. She came down here to help me out and she wanted to watch the baby when I go back to work after maternity leave. It was all her idea. She is leaving sometime this week. Supposedly she will be back before I go back to work, but I feel like I can't for sure rely on her for childcare. Now this late in the game I need to look at daycare options and have a back up plan, just in case.

Also, DH is still in Mexico. He will be back at the end of the month for two weeks, and then goes back to work until my maternity leave. I'm being a big baby, but I hate feeling like I'm doing this all alone. We have all of these important conversations to hold and decisions to make, and I get 5 minutes every day (if that) to talk to him. We can't do any childbirth classes, etc.

I either want to scream and cry or lay around and stuff my face with ice cream. Maybe all of it, simultaneously.

Aww, poor guy. And poor you! I hope he gets to feeling better soon and that you don't catch anything.

I don't want to take all 3 kids to my dr. appt. ::insert dramatic whine here:: Normally, I just leave the older 2 home, but after my appt today, we need to shop for school supplies. FI works, so I'll have to make a fool of myself in the motorized wheelchair. I guess at least I'll have the kids as helpers?

Also, I missed the FMLA requirement of 1 year by 1 day when I was put on bed rest. Seriously. So now HR is saying they won't honor it. This pisses me off, and I plan to argue it, but it's not like I need to worry about not having a job after my leave. CNAs are hard to come by around here. I'm one of only 3 that will work the 3-11 shift.

I'm so sorry you are dealing with so much, @apk! Is your mother staying with you, or did she get her own place? have you noticed tensions rising or anything, or is this completely out of the blue?

Also, I don't think you are acting like a "big baby"; I'm pretty sure I would be incredibly upset if I were in your position, and it's justified! Let yourself feel the emotions, and don't think you need to stifle them because you're "being a big baby". You're not!

>:D<

pnwlover12 · August 2014

I have a headache that keeps rotating from the left back side of my head to the right front. Rage!

TheOtherJacobsons · August 2014

Saw this article on FB today and send it to DH. It is about how this mom flipped out on her 8-year-old for being defiant. A part of me understood that there is a breaking point. Not condoning it, but knowing that at one point it could happen.

So DH says he thinks the lady is psycho and I thought she was kind of normal. We went on to discuss it further and at the end of it I was left kind of upset. Mostly because I now know that when this does happen to me, he will judge me.

bumpuser10309732 · August 2014

So DH is great, but lately I just want to punch him in the face. I have no idea why. He really irritates me with the dumbest shit. Sorry husband!! He married a crazy person.

Thank you! She had gotten a one year lease for an apartment and bought all new furniture. Today she is attempting to cancel everything.

I moved in with my dad and stepmom when I was 9 and didn't have a relationship with my mom until I was about 20. This was the first time really that we've had to bond and get close to each other. She has good intentions, but she rarely follows through with anything, and tends to buy things to make up for it.

I know she has some depression issues due to my stepdad's death two years ago. Before she came here, she barely left her house, ate, and lost a ton of weight. I know she is going through a lot and so I've been incredibly supportive of her going home, but I'm disappointed. I just feel like I get my hopes up, something doesn't work out, and then I feel like a little heartbroken 9 year old girl.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

Also, any time I post anything serious I feel so douchy (douchey?) with my obscene siggy pic haha.

ADH0906 · August 2014

I sleep hardly at all lately, DH has a horrible cold and woke us both up constantly, and I had to get up at 4:30. If I don't fall asleep at this job today it'll be a real life miracle.

I think this is normal and I'm sorry you feel like he will judge you. I think your thoughts are on point. Maybe once your LO gets older and he is involved in day to day struggles and parenting is hands on and not a thought, he will get it.

I don't have anything interesting to bitch about, just the same old stuff.

No way, you aren't failing anyone! You are doing exactly what you have to to keep baby safe in the ute.

pnwlover12 · August 2014

Ok, seriously?! 9 more weeks of being pregnant?!

MrMrsandBaby · August 2014

I'm just going to do a general bitch about people who say, "I'm not going to but I don't judge others who do" in relation to...well, basically anything! Why is it necessary to say you don't judge those who do something you won't? It is sort of the same as starting a sentence with "no offense, but..."

Just say no, you aren't going to do XYZ or that you are going to do XYZ and leave the "but I don't judge" out of it.

My husband an I are doing a major remodel/addition to our home. We started what was supposed to be a 20 week project in Jan. We were supposed to be moving in 9/5 after many delays and just found out they are delayed yet again. Now it is 9/25 when I will be 37 weeks pregnant. I am fighting them hard to move it up but we will see.

While that is an obvious bitchfest in itself, my bitch right now is people telling me not to stress out and that there is nothing I can do about it, etc. I know there is some truth in what they say but I need to nest, damn it. We have been living in my parents basement (30 miles from our house) for 8 months now and I am done. I haven't even had time to think about my LO until our house is done. I need some time to get settled and reflect and that is not going to happen.

I'm just over it and I wish people would just tell me that it sucks and not tell me "Don't stress". I don't think they appreciate how much harder this process has been when I have an overwhelming need to prepare a home for my baby.

AppleGrapeMSTK · August 2014

I was nominated to attend a town hall meeting to convince the community that our program is awesome (I work with felons, so people get really antsy about the facility being around). It's next Monday at 6:00pm, but I have to be there early to get a good spot/set up for my presentation, so it doesn't make sense to come home when my shift ends at 3:30pm. Next Monday is also DD's first day of 5th grade, and I will be gone the entire day from breakfast until bedtime. I feel like a bad mom.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

@saraheh2007 Vent away! I can't imagine living in a basement and feeling the pressure of having everything ready in time. Nesting has really been my saving grace. I'm not going to tell you not to stress, because it's gonna happen, but at least you will have a nice new house for LO to grow up in!

This! I am going thru a MAJOR home remodel/addition too! My husband is doing all the work as he's a carpenter but he can only work on the weekends. I'm having people tell me not to stress too but I feel the same way you do!! I'm starting to come to the realization that I'll be bringing home my first baby to a construction zone (we are living in one part of the house while the rest is being remodeled).

So here it is: that sucks you are going thru that! Hopefully the project doesn't get delayed any longer, hang in there!

lrobi13 · August 2014

@apk4. That has to be a huge stressor that you now can't trust that your mom will be back to care for lo when it is time. Hopefully you can line up a solid back-up plan and still continue to bond with your mom, even is it is long distance for some time.

Sounds like you ladies are trying.

@emerald27: sorry that DS is so sick, that has to be hard especially when you we excited to start something new today.

@crawford411: I hope your cervix starts behaving. That has to be super stressful. It is not fair when you seems to follow the rules and your body isn't listening. Hang in there!

Firemanswife11 · August 2014

Had a [most awkward] shower this morning at work. Don't get me wrong - I am SUPER thankful for what I did receive (a pack and play), BUT it was AWKWARD as hell. I don't really like ummmm 99 percent of the people I work with and I am pretty sure most of them don't like me either ... it's a personality thing ... I like to get my work done and everyone else is lazy. Anyway, like half of everyone didn't even contribute to the gift and the ones who didn't took the attention onto themselves by saying rude shit, making fun of the size of my piece of cake, pregnancy, pregnant women, etc. And they also ate half the cake and drank half the punch ... which, whatever.

Anyway, one of the girls who didn't contribute in any way (but who still came to the shower, ate cake and punch and made a scene) tried to buy me lunch today...ha.

Again, I'm thankful. I didn't ask for a thing and I am happy that some of my coworkers wanted to help celebrate a new life. But damn, awkward!

bumpuser10309732 · August 2014

@Firemanswife11 Awkward...at least you got cake out of it?

[Deleted User] · August 2014

@Firemanswife11 People are so rude!

I almost started my day by telling off the guy in Starbucks who saw me walk in and automatically said, "decaf?", and when I said "No, 1/2 caff.", proceeded to tell me that he will be putting in more decaf than caf. I lectured him on the data regarding caffeine consumption in 3rd trimester, along with the permitted amounts and the amount I would actually be consuming.

He told me I was still getting more decaf.

Did you tell him he'd be getting a throat punch?

I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding Aug. 30th. The bride is fairly mellow about everything, but just dealing with the normal wedding stuff and being a bridesmaid at 34 weeks pregnant in August makes me crabby. And I haven't been able to alter my dress yet because my belly size has been changing over the last couple weeks. I'm planning on doing it myself, but now I'm getting nervous and stressed about it.

pnwlover12 · August 2014

The little neighbor kid is annoying the shit out of me. They're playing with a sprinkler or something and he is just having fun...but he is so freaking loud. Laughing and screaming at the top of his lungs and I can hear it through our closed windows. I'm a dick for being annoyed at a 6 yr old's joy.

This!!! I think the baristas at my local SB know better.

May be a UO to save for later, but my FB wall was littered with videos of my friends participating in the ALS Ice Dump Challenge thing. I'm all for raising awareness and money for a good cause, but dumping ice water on your person during a really serious drought really irritates me. Just donate the cash instead of trying to post the next viral video and encouraging your friends to do the same. And if you are going to do it, at least stand in a vegetable garden so something is watered!

It should be good, but different ... here's the promo...

Green Pig Bistro serves what may be more obscure cuts of meat in their finest form - food that is hearty, not heavy; sustainable and with proper technique above all.

The restaurant utilizes the entire product, head to tail, in dishes that are approachable, solid and basic, yet premium - classic rustic French cooking - with a decidedly American push and with reasonable prices.

Communal chef’s table made of repurposed barn wood with metal and stone base; wall coverings made of pages from cook and culinary books; antique knife and kitchen utensil collections.

Atmosphere sounds really cool! Using the entire animal from head to tail... That could be cool or scary.

WTAF?! That is so not his job, as an SB employee I would get in so much trouble for pulling a stunt like that.

Definitely call the store manager and get some free drinks out of it.

Sockgnome78 · August 2014

I normally am not a real bitchy person. But H text me earlier today and asked how I was feeling. I thought he was checking up on me from yesterday. So I text him back saying okay but tired. (What pregnant women isn't?) He text me back that he woke up with a scratchy throat. I told him to go to the doctor if he needed to and that I did not want it. I have been doing good with no colds or any sickness for a while now. I am 28 weeks tomorrow and don't want to be sick at all for my 3rd tri. I have not heard back from him. Oh joys.

golfingdarwinfish · August 2014

I should say something, but I always feel bad if someone gets reprimanded. Even if they deserve it, like in this situation.

(sigh)

cmac6186 · August 2014

Really annoyed with a coworker who is about 4 weeks more pregnant than me using it as an excuse as to why she sucks at her job. Then she has the nerve to request a better position and even is complaining to upper management about it. When she doesn't get the assignments she wants she says it's because we are all against her and don't like her. Um no, you have had multiple chances to prove yourself and have screwed up each one! And she has like 1/4 of the responsibilities I do and complains about how stressful it is to do whatever it is she actually gets around to doing. Bitch please. Suck it up. Do your job.

griffers · August 2014

I have a bitch about my husband tonight. He asked for a nice camcorder for his birthday which is at the end of the month. I assumed he meant to film the baby. We are going on a mini vaca this weekend and I thought he might want to use it so I gave it to him today. I was all excited about the one I picked because it has baby mode that helps you record baby's milestones. I even went to a local camera shop and asked for advice before choosing one.
The first thing he says when he sees it is "does it have night vision?". Um, no, because he never told me he wanted that. And I know why he wants that, because literally like once a year he goes ghost hunting. Mind you, he is not part of the team, they just ask people they know if they'd like to join so their cost of renting a place for the night will be lower. Then he handed me the video that came with it and said "here so you can learn to use it and show me". He did the same thing with the little quick set up paper. Then when he was leaving to go hangout with friends he asked what was wrong and when I said he seemed disappointed, instead of saying something nice he said "oh I just wanted to use it for ghost hunting too".

It's like, ugh why do I bother spending all this time and money that I don't have getting him something nice. I feel like every time I think he's gonna be all excited and it isn't the right thing.
