I woke up to snow falling outside... In September. Enough said. Any of the other Alberta ladies have snow this morning??

I am SOOOOOOO jealous It's raining here, but I wish it was snow.

Don't be jealous. We get so little summer here. We have two seasons. Too hot and snow. I'd still like it to warm for a bit. This would be a pretty early winter and our summer was late (

Agreed. This summer was disgusting hot and humid and rainy and gross. And now winter is here. September is normally my favorite month of the year. Light jacket weather, leaves changing color, crisp fall air. NO SUCH LUCK!

Yes! This summer sucked. It was either raining or too hot. Now it's winter?!? No! I miss fall

After today I'm not too worried that they'll like her more. You never know though! I'm also not sure I'm coming back after mat leave. I like my job, but our head office is literally 5 minutes from my house and I currently drive 35 minutes to work. Ideally I'd like to be closer to LO.
Oh- and now my boss is taking new girl out for lunch. DH asked if he's trying to date her as he's trying to impress her so much. He's married with 3 kids so I'm thinking not. I'm still confused as to why he's suddenly decided to be such an attentive and appreciative boss though- she better not get used to it!

My bitch - They aren't hiring anyone to do my job while I'm out. Granted, it'll only be about 12 weeks, but still. They're distributing my job among my coworkers. I know they already have enough of their own work and I feel like they'll push my stuff aside and I'm going to come back to a cluster fuck.

I had to tell a student in my 8 AM class to quit spitting his chew in a bottle during class. That's a new one for me. I really thought that was a no brainier.

I also just realized that I don't know what other people call chew (chewing tobacco).

Lol, I went to very agriculturally minded university and was in the college of ag for undergrad. Saying no spitting chew in one of my classes would have been followed by 90% of the guys leaving, along with some of the girls. So gross. I honestly didn't even know what chew was when I moved there. Talk about culture shock!

I'm with you @CarrieAnne09‌ and @Maelara‌ ! I'm right in the capital and was not expecting snow yet. I was contemplating last week if I'd have to get maternity winter gear and thought "Nah, I'll layer for like a month and be fine." Obviously this won't be the case! I've lived in AB my whole life so I don't know what I was thinking. Looks like I'll be maternity coat and winter boots shopping. Of course my feet would stretch from pregnancy the year after I find perfect tall boots grrr.

I'm jealous of Alberta's snow! Here on the East Coast it is hot but it was 5 degrees this morning so I'm in pants and a long sleeved shirt.

My new sketchers memory foam shoes are giving me blisters on my ankles and baby toes.

I started hating 80% of my maternity tops because they make me look huge only to realize yeah, I'm the problem.

The paint is all chipped on my toenails and the thought of taking it off and re-applying makes me want to hurl.

I'm hungry.

Fucking Ray Rice. I'm from Baltimore, my family are hardcore ravens fans, season ticket owners, and my 10 year old son (who goes to every game with my dad) adores ray rice. He has a fat head of him and multiple jerseys. It's all coming down. I'm so disgusted.

@kristy774 they just announced that the Ravens terminated his contract... Still think it should be more...at least it's better than a 2 game freakin suspension

Now what about Goddell? There's no way the NFL didn't know about the rest of this video from the start. Shameful.

My FB news feed is crazy, everyone's arguing with one another. I don't FB argue so I'm not saying anything but it's very difficult. The people defending him make me BSC. I'm so glad they terminated his contract. It makes it a lot easier when I sit down with my 10 year old son tonight and explain to him what happened and I'm able to follow it up with "and now he no longer plays for the Ravens" instead of, "and he was suspended for a couple games."

I'm gone for a year and I'm the only full-time person who does my job so he kind of had to find someone. He was going to try and split it between two part-time people but soon realized that wouldn't work.

So now new girl keeps giving me stink eye every time I smile at her. WTF? I'm not sure what her deal is, but it better stop ASAP. I can tell my co-worker is not impressed. New girl's been sitting with her all morning and we've quickly come to realize that her qualifications were talked up a bit too much. It turns out she's not even a little bit trained in my job like we thought she was. Our impression was that she worked in the same type of office and that she's licensed the same way I am. She does have the license, but she never used it and was just the receptionist- nothing wrong with that, but I do a heck of a lot more than that. This should be interesting.

Hugs for Wicked22 - I'm sorry to hear about your loss. This has been a terrible year for dogs for some reason, I know at least 3 other people who have had to say goodbye to long-time companions in the past couple months.

I was getting so angry at some of the comments I was reading when they posted the video..saying he was only defending himself and she deserved it.. WTF she's like 5ft nothing and he's a freakin football player. Her little swat was nothing plus he spit on her before they even got in the elevator. Then just drag her body like that and drop it..there was no remorse whatsover. I wanted to reach through my computer and choke someone.

mander82 · September 2014

I work with idiots...........total idiots...........I have 245 emails that need addressed, and I have to go digging through my old emails to help someone else cover THEIR ass because they can't figure out how to do it on their own................work is making me angry today.................

I cannot wait til I can go home and have a beer after days like today.

I hate everyone today! I got a call from the doctor's office stating that they want to schedule me for 3 three hour glucose test. Why? What is the point? My numbers were awful and I have symptoms, so why go through that hell?? I see doc today at 4:30. Should I just tell her that i am not open to the three hour and that I want to just begin some sort of treatment? I am not a happy camper and I feel like an emotional wreck right now.

silverwings72 · September 2014

So, after reading about one of our Mama's loss I feel like a complete ass making a big deal out the minor details. This is nothing in comparison to what she is dealing with right now, I need to grow up. Ok, thanks for letting me rant, ladies.

mommymeg143 · September 2014

@silverwings72‌...don't feel bad. Your problems matter too. I can't imagine what she is going through and my heart breaks for her but you deserve your feels too!

As for your glucose test, I would do it. It's super boring but you can handle it, momma!! One of my friends tested over 200 on her 1 hour and went in for her 3 hour and passed. You may have just had a bad day the day of your 1 hour.

This. You're allowed to have your feelings even when worse things are happening. Don't deny yourself feeling your feelings. If the doctors think you have a chance of passing, go for it!!

silverwings72 · September 2014

Thanks guys. I hate this feeling of not knowing, it really triggers my anxiety. Going to jump in the shower then head over to the docs with an open mind. I hope to be composed by the time I sit down and speak with her. Wish me luck!!

Sarahbeth612 · September 2014

Hugs for those who need them. I hope things start looking up soon!

I went to the OB this morn after the pains I've had since last week wouldn't let up. Basically, baby boy is happy and healthy on my pubic bone pressing multiple nerves. So while I can't walk or function normally 90% of the time, I have to find a way for 10 more weeks. But, he is okay, and I'm reminding myself that is most important especially after reading what some of my fellow bumpies are going through!

Maelara · September 2014

My new phone just fell out of my pocket and the screen broke. It wasnt from very high up and the fall wasnt that bad. the crack is barely noticeable but I can't access anything on it. I just waited months for this new phone. I'm so done. I'm just done with today,

ARZamora1111 · September 2014

Indifferent bitching - everyone keeps telling me that I'm going to "pop" early. I really would prefer baby to stay in the full 40 weeks as it's easier in than out

Guess only time will tell and only Niko knows when he'll make his debut...

Irritated bitching - just received notice of an invite to a baby shower for a STM whose having the same sex baby as the first. Just peeves me, but to each their own.

Annoyed bitching - though I love feeling Niko move, I wish he would just kick and punch like a "normal" baby. Instead, he insists on constantly rolling over and dragging his elbows, butt, knees, head, what have you slowly across my tummy. Such a weird, semi-creepy, kinda uncomfortable feeling. Oh, and the knocking and clawing at my cervix...not cool Niko, not cool. Love you though!

Pregnancy symptom bitching - why does the no sleeping start in pregnancy? First time around, it started about 7.5-8 months; this time around 6 months! Average about 3 hours a night. Really think it's nature's way of getting you ready for newborn hours, though mine slept through the night from the get go even when we tried waking her up to feed every 2 hours.

absolutelymaybe · September 2014

@wicked22 - I am so sorry for your loss :-( RIP Buster.

@jan1214 - Wow, do you teach where I went to high school? Total redneckville. Sounds like something that happened there frequently.

@silverwings72 - Don't feel bad. Pregnancy is rough and just because someone out there has it worse doesn't mean you don't have a right to complain.

@Maelara - I've shattered a ridiculous number of phone screens from short distances. My favorite: We parked in a gravel lot to go hiking and, as I was bending over to get something out of my bag, I dropped my phone like 6 inches (no exaggeration), but it hit a piece of gravel just at the right angle and shattered. I have horrible luck!

mommymeg143 · September 2014

@silverwings72‌... Let us know how your appointment goes.

@Sarahbeth612‌ and @smboswell1‌...we learned a few positions in my birthing class to get baby re-situated off of your nerves. Get in the floor on your hands and knees and rock back and forth. This is supposed to move baby into another position. I've done it a few times and it's helped.

@Maelara... UGH. That is the worst!! What I don't understand is how a glass that does not shatter hasn't been discovered yet or why cell phone companies don't use it. Phone are so expensive, put some shatter proof glass on there people!!

Maelara · September 2014

Right? Why can't they be more durable?? I'm so pissed! My husband just ordered a new screen and it will be here next week at least. It's from a different place than last time, thankfully. I still have no phone for a week though

My feet flippin hurt! I'm sick of
It. I swear it feels like they are both sprained. It hurts to stand in the shower. Then I see a pin on Pinterest. How to look good while pregnant. She's wearing heels! I'm stuck in nikes and have to wear then all the time. Even inside the house. No shoes hurts just as bad! 10 more stinking weeks!!!!
