Randoms!!

stephcarter · September 2014

Last night I ate a bunch of almonds- for dinner. I didn't have time to eat an actual meal since i had a high maintenance baby and a ton of work to do.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

My stomach hurts so bad.

i personally don't think its a big deal. i'm guessing they create the accounts for everyone so that they are there to use later. either that or it makes their record keeping easier. i know SD's school uses an online grading system that the teachers can update and the parents have access too. Maybe its like that, but each account needs an email address so they create one for each student to be consistent? firstname.lastname@domain.com kind of thing?

stephcarter · September 2014

its an email address. its not like its a public account that anyone can access. and i'm guessing your 4 and 6 year old won't be sending and receiving suspicious emails anytime soon. i think he's going to have to get over it because it sounds like most schools are moving towards online systems. i personally like it, because i can check SD's grades and homework assignments right away online. maybe i'm naive, but i dont see it causing any issues.

I agree it's pretty typical in a lot of schools, ours included.
Plus, if you think it's NBD, and your H is the one with his panties in a bunch about it, tell him to call. Then he can address the school directly with his concerns. He shouldn't be giving you a hard time.

My period finally showed up this morning and I feel so blah. I just ate leftover mashed potatoes for a late morning snack. Fantastic...

ETA: Ice cream too

"I wanna kiss your eyeball"

Totally random. She cracks me up.

CnAnA · September 2014

I am discontent. Very very long story short, I feel like I bend over backwards doing whatever I can to help other people. When i ask a favor of someone, I make sure I make it as easy and painless as possible for that person. But the one time I ask a favor of someone that requires the most minor amount of effort, I get denied and now an already stressful situation is made even more so because heaven forbid someone do something to help me out.

StefanieM522 · September 2014

Hugs @cnana I had a friend who would never help me but I was the first person she called whenever she needed help! It sucked! I no longer talk to her but I feel your pain. I would help you if I was closer!

scrumpfy · September 2014

I'm sleepy. C woke up at 5. I went and told her it was still night time and time for sleeps. I went back to bed and she sang songs and played with her stuffed puppies for an hour, then went back to sleep until almost 8. Weird kid. She was in a super good mood though, so maybe pre sunrise puppy sing alongs are a great way to start the day.

StefanieM522 · September 2014

Only two more days alone in the office and then everyone is back and I wont have to work so hard. So excited. Already on my second cup of coffee this morning as I am lagging big time today!

CnAnA · September 2014

Lord almighty my kid is pushing aalllllllll the buttons today. Whining, screaming no in my face, laughing while doing exactly what I told her not to do. I know it's my tension rubbing off on her, but it's not helping me to be the kind and loving parent I try to be.

Pumping in my pumps today at work. They put me in a storage closet to pump, even though there is an empty office available....but that's for engineers and, you know, important people.

I've been back at work now for two and a half weeks, and I'm so miserable I could cry. I'm seriously considering quitting and being a SAHM if I don't get this new job, even though I'm not thrilled about stepping out of the job market in a small town. But...I'm so sad all the time.

CnAnA · September 2014

Is that even legal? To stuff you in a closet?

It's legal as far as I can tell. All an employer is required to provide you is a space with a reasonable expectation of privacy that is not a bathroom. The closet with a locked door is infinitely better than what my boss originally suggested -- either the studio (yes, the room with all the cameras and video equipment) or a partitioned section of the conference room, where people would be able to HEAR me pumping and actually could see through the partition where it meets.

When I was pumping with Henry, I had my own office. It was great. But then they kicked me out of it because a man needed it.

Ziegeficker · September 2014

On the plus side, I do feel fabulous in my fancy skirt. I never thought my body shape could pull off a pencil skirt, but I think it looks good! I'm new at dressing in business attire, as you might remember from my post a while back.

CnAnA · September 2014

Wooooow. Douche to the extreme! Sounds awful.

I'm sorry you work with jackholes.

Me too. But thanks for commiserating with me. I feel better when other people call my boss a douche, haha!

Your boss is a Douche with a capital D! I'm sorry you are so sad at work but you look fabulous! Fingers crossed you get the new job so you can leave!

@Ziegeficker‌ I hope this doesn't sound too creepy but you are hot. That outfit is great. I am going to try and find something like it.

Sometimes, your kid throws up on the way to Bible Study, but you don't figure out why they are hollering and carrying on until you are in the parking lot ready to unbuckle them. So, yeah.

And then she poops in the tub when you are trying to clean up the vomit.

On a related note, how do I clean said vomit out of car seat straps/webbing? The seat cover was very easy to remove and is already washed and hang drying. I just don't know what to do about the straps.

I'm so sorry! I hate cleaning the carseat after throw up. For the straps on my car seat I can remove the straps (with lots of swearing and threats of throwing the whole seat away) and then I soak them in Oxy clean and a little dish soap in the sink and then rinse them out and hang to dry.

CnAnA · September 2014

Check your manual @BrooketheCat‌. Different manufacturers recommend different ways.

scrumpfy · September 2014

@Ziegeficker‌ , I hope you find a new job soon, working for a not-douche. And your skirt is pretty.

Aw, you're too kind

I got this entire outfit from the Loft actually...I got the pencil skirt because it was allegedly made for "curves," though I have no idea what that even means. But I love it!

Thank you everyone for the commiseration. Seriously. I need it so much.

chricast · September 2014

@Ziegeficker‌ you look great, you boss is a DOUCHEBAG and I'm running to loft to buy the outfit. I bought 2 pencils skirts a couple weeks ago and they make me feel very sexy.

CnAnA · September 2014

You know what? Fuck this entire fucking week. I am so very done. I am mentally exhausted and I really dont know how much more I've got.

chricast · September 2014

I think I have to clone myself 3 times in order to get done all the crap I need to do before the beginning of November when the state comes to do their survey at work. UGH.

Sillygirl85 · September 2014

I'm at 7 days past ovulation and spotting. I guess it's going to be at least another year before conceiving number 2. I need to be okay with this, but today I'm just not.

StefanieM522 · September 2014

@stephcarter‌ how's your LO today?

Not so great. Clingy. Moody. I've found that ibuprofen definitely works better for her than the acetaminophen. She just wants to snuggle all day, except for the hour when the ibuprofen is completely kicked in. At that point she wants to run me in circles.

She won't eat, that always stresses me out.

I'm taking sick leave tomorrow. I thought about attempting to work from home again but I just can't.

Thanks for asking

Sillygirl85 · September 2014

@stephcarter I hope B feels better soon!

@mambonumber5 and @stefaniem522 Thanks.

A college classmate whom I'm friends with on Facebook has a son and a daughter the same ages as mine (like within weeks). She had #3 today and even though I'm not quite ready yet, jealousy hit. My DH said hell no as he is 99% done. He says he's 100% but I'm unwilling to say we are done yet. I always imagined having three.... And I still want three... Most days.

stephcarter · September 2014

@BeaF12‌ she's actually been drinking a ton of water and juice

At 5:45 she decided it's time to wake up. Blah

Rachelilly23 · September 2014

@stephcarter‌ We'll just have to make sure you get a big ol' drink tonight!

Want a personalized experience?

Thursday!
