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

(sigh)

Say something, people call for way less all the time. That's something that needs to be addressed with the quickness.

@griffers I would totally pack it up and return it, but I detest ungratefulness.

For my brother's 18th birthday I bought a dollar store Barbie (my family like to bday prank) and tucked $100 (visibly) into the box. My brother pulled of the wrapping, saw the Barbie, and threw the box at me cussing. I calmly picked it up and put it in my purse. Too bad for him. My mom later told him what was in the box, and he showed up at my door the next weekend with a 2-page apology letter and washed my car. And yes, I gave it back.

@griffers I am so sorry. YH should of be specific on what he wanted to use it for. He could of been a lot nicer about it. You could still keep it and use it for milestones and just stuff you want to record.

So... we primed walls tonight.. I'm just now laying in bed, callouses forming on my palms and cankles the size of tree trunks. I'm just a little miffed at how it went tonight. DH had me do the ceiling while he took the brush around the edges and corners and sockets. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the ceiling is the most physically demanding paint job in a room. Its uncomfortable looking up and hard on your arms/back. So halfway through the ceiling I mention to him that it's pretty much the hardest paint job in the room and DH responds with "the walls are pretty hard to do too". STFU. No. Just no. Not even close. Then I've also primed half the room before he hopped on the other roller and helped finish it. I'm feeling a bit like I may have overdid it. I'm flushed and swollen and just uncomfortable. Even though I had a mask on, I still felt like I was inhaling too many fumes. I told him that I feel like maybe I shouldn't paint. I feel like I overdid it and even with the mask was a little worried about fumes. He goes on to say that "oh those masks are really good so you're not breathing in straight fumes". I just looked away like

and he finally realized the way he sounded and finished with "oh but you dont have to honey, I'll do it".

I'm so fucking tired right now.

@MrsSinner402 - Sorry to hear. That sucks that he gave you the cieling to do. I would rest for the rest of the night and let YH realize what he said was really stupid.

Dude, not cool DH! My H is in the carpenters union and he agreed the ceiling is the most labor intensive to do.

I'm sorry you are feeling so shitty now. Take it easy, friend!

He just came home and has already made 2 videos for the baby and keeps talking about how cool it is. Guess I can let this one slide....

Oh and he is making me a PB and J.

@MrsSinner402. I felt that way after we painted the kitchen. It is hard not want to help to get things done but it is so easy to over do it. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Technically its not Monday anymore but whatever. I cant sleep and Im annoyed.

ALL day today I felt exhausted. I didnt do anything and I took naps when DD napped and I woke up feeling more tired.

Then SO got mad at me for no apparent reason and so I got pissed off that he was pissed off so I went to bed early. (Read: tossed and turned). Then DD woke up and wouldnt go back to sleep. So I spent almost two hours trying to get her back down with pretty much no help from SO. Until I gave up and let her cry. He went in 10 minutes after I came out and they both passed out.

So now that Im wide awake and bored, I started scrolling through Facebook. Someone who was my very best (only) friend up until very recently when she decided to stop speaking to me for whatever reason, has moved across country. She seems happy and liking where she is and Im happy for her but at the same time Im irrationally angry at her. Everytime I see a "oh my life is so great" post I just want to slam my laptop and toss it. Other friends have equally as exciting posts - new jobs, travel, general summer fun - and its the same reaction just a little less intense.

Honestly I think Im just jealous. Because while they're out doing things that normal people in their early 20's do, Im just here. Incubating a human while caring for another. I know its mostly my own fault but still. Stop rubbing it in my face! (Even though I know thats not their intent. Im just being sensitive.)

I finally have time to bitch... and its technically Tuesday :-<

Its 1:30 in the morning here and I'm finally going to lay down because DH needed help doing touch ups (he's been painting the nursery today) and taking down the tape. I'm tired...

But now I'm overly tired so I can't fall asleep
