My husband is a tornado. Everyday he comes home and just throws whatever he has anywhere and I am getting fed up with cleaning the same mess. Today I ventured into the basement to find that there are now paths to get around down there. I have cleaned the basement twice by myself and he keeps bringing shit home and leaving it everywhere- Sends my anxiety through the roof. I have asked him to clean up his mess several times and it just doesn't get done unless I do it.

My mom's basement is characterized by paths and her house by clutter. Growing up with that I have always been well organized and a clean freak. My husband's spent much of his childhood under his grams roof. She has a lot of stuff with no place to put it and no desire to get rid of it. Her apartment has 1 path from front to back. We have a large house to grow into and a designated place for everything but my husband just throws his shit everywhere. I could flip my shit on him today.

My dh was raised the same way. His parents house is a fucking nightmare. Every room is jammed full of furniture displaying random shit. Coffee tables and side tables have no room to even put a glass on. Luckily dh has finally come to my side once I helped him start appreciating the space that you get by throwing things away. Ugh I used to always clean up him messes bit I found if I gave him a spot to pile things on he will not let it get out of hand.

Today sucks so far. I am on my way to the court house to file against the asshat who rear ended me without insurance and totaled our only reliable car. I really didn't want to have to take it to court but he's made it very apparent that he won't settle before the baby comes.

OctoberStars · December 2014

I can't think about anything other than food today. I brought a healthy smoothie for lunch. Ha! I just ordered an Italian sub instead mmmmmmm!

keiranoelle · December 2014

Woke up at 10:30, napping by 12:30.

called off today and no shits were giving, I needed a whole day to lurk TB.

Edited because autocorrect is prude.

Ugh. I have been like this almost every day for a week. Sadly (for my future weight gain), eating makes my nausea go away. I think I am bored eating because I am so tired and unmotivated.

I keep having super realistic nightmares, an I really, really want Subway.

My daughter flushed her fisher price doctor's needle down the toilet last night so the plumber is at my house draining my bank account right now riiiiight before Christmas. AWESOME!

And also... someone at work just told me I'm showing already. WAHHHHH!! No I'm not. It's just that I switched over to maternity pants and that stretchy panel doesn't really do much to hold my bloat in. THANKS THOUGH... now I feel like a whale!

I told everyone at work because I'm a bartender and I don't particularly want to lift heavy boxes of liquor. One of the guys said "I can definitely tell.. Your hips are HUGE!"

Uh. Thanks.

dancingbelle · December 2014

I usually have oatmeal for breakfast, but I've cooked it every day this week and thrown it away after not eating it. DH suggested a smoothie, so I'm wondering if there are any prepared without having to blend it. Does that make sense?

**Although, now that I think about it, I may buy some of the prepackaged fruit and ask our culinary teacher if I can borrow the blender!

Yup.. He's such a sweetheart and I've known him for years as I worked with him at another restaurant years ago. He's from Mexico and sometimes the things he says don't translate well. I think he saw the look on my face and felt bad and quickly followed up with "but your face glow is beautiful!"

Hahaha

I'm off tomorrow! Just trying to make it through today!

You lucky girl! This week is moving at a glacial pace. This pregnancy so far feels like a countdown to a vacation. Oh brain you are going to be so disappointed at how un vacation like maternity leave will be! Why can't I just enjoy my sleeps now and stop wishing time would fly by!?

haha Could be worse I guess! I was walking in the lobby of my building with a very pregnant coworker the other day. She's due in February and I would obviously never say this to her, but she's huge! An older man who works in the building actually came up to her and said "How are the twins?!" His accent made it a little hard to understand so I was hoping she misheard him, but nope. Of COURSE not. I thought she was going to kill him... Remind me to avoid that man in a few months!

shelbutler · December 2014

I want to quit my job, like last tuesday.

It's getting out of control. We need another employee and they won't hire one. I'm doing the job of three with NO raise that I have asked for TWICE. C'mon July - I want to be home with my babes.

End of rant.

A huge pet peeve of mine is when guys wear shirts made of thin fabric and do not wear an undershirt underneath.

"No, coworker. I do not want to see your nipples all day!" It's happened every day this week and it's starting to get to me. lol

I showed my husband the pooping and wiping gif last night on the "I thought I was done" thread, and I thought he was going to die laughing.
He said, TB seems like a fun, awesome place. I think he wants to be KTFU now.

I don't think I am sad that I missed this thread.

@catahoulatte‌ No actual poop was involved. It was a funny gif from Parks and Recreation!

@amc2511 I am so glad you said that because I searched it and found said gif. Amazing.

SepiaMoon · December 2014

Both of my dogs were skunked last night when we were out for a walk. We rushed them home to clean them off. Tried hydrogen peroxide/baking soda/dish soap solution that the humane society had on there site... It did not entirely work. The smell is everywhere in our house and I will prob have to get the carpets cleaned. Ugh.

This morning I felt like I was going to puke when I was driving to work. I literally had a Tupperware in my lap and was heaving down the high way. I texted DH to tell him I felt like crap and he says "why don't you stay at home and clean up the house then?" Because 1) I'm already at work ding dong and 2) what part of "I'm gonna vomit" makes you think I want to clean up skunk spray. Lol... Men.

On the upside I have a half day off tomorrow and will start wearing my maternity pants as soon as my package arrives!

Does anyone feel sorry for me and want to tell me why my gif doesn't work? (This is from the UO thread)
ETA: I've been attempting Howard's are you kidding me gif, but alas I suck at it...Maybe later.

cause wherever you are getting that gif from doesn't allow it to be posted on other sites. You'll need to find the same gif but uploaded from someone else. Can I recommend tumblr?

I had been posting from my desktop at work and just ran to the break room. I will try again, thanks!

https://www.dole.com/Products/Smoothie-Shakers Just add juice and shake! They are good too!

Cool! Thank you! Any idea if they're sold in Kroger? (Not sure whereabouts you are from.)

I am really jealous of first time moms today. I just want to make a freaking 1 minute phone call to the bank without someone YELLING at me over and over asking who I am calling, and why, and what we are talking out. LEAVE ME ALONE. I will tell you when I am not currently trying to write down an accurate email address the person on the other end is telling me. I make a phone call approximately every 3 weeks because of this. I yelled. Not my finest moment, I am still mad. Every. Freaking. Time. Seriously he has radar for when any phone call starts.

Also, why does everything you have ever needed to ask me in life have to happen when I am in the bathroom. You ignore everything I say for 2 hours and then have immediate pertinent questions when I am pooping.

I need a cocktail.

And I am tired of my 2 year old taking a dump in her undies and saying "mommy I went poo poo".

Thursday vent day up in here.

Cleaning poop out of undies is the story of my life these days. I feel your pain...and disgust!

Oh I want this right meow!! They're in the frozen aisle and they're as easy as they sound??

How have I never seen these? They look awesome!

Oh wait, that's probably because DH goes to the grocery...

I SO need these!

I went off the grid yesterday afternoon and it was much needed.

OB appointment yesterday was boring and nothing excited happened. I was hoping it would make me get excited and happy, but alas, I bawled my eyes out when we got home. Still feeling pretty shitty mentally and will probably be lurking more than posting just until I can get into a better state of mind.

H is being really supportive, but I am at the point where I just need some space and time. The doctor said we can talk about it more at the next visit if I am still struggling, but I don't know that I would be willing to take anything. I am praying so hard that hearing the heartbeat will be the thing to snap me out of this funk. We go back on new years eve...

Typing this all out sounds horrible and I don't want you all to think I'm horrible, but I am glad that I feel comfortable enough to write it here. I don't feel comfortable telling my IRL friends about it right now and only talking to H about it is somewhat limiting.

Sorry for another Debbie Downer post. ( Love (most) all of you ladies!!!!!!!

Hugs, @JustinsLovo! I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but I'm glad that you feel comfortable opening up to us. We all need a safe place to vent, and pregnancy seems to come with a crazy mix of emotions. Have you considered seeing a counselor? That's always an option, especially if medication isn't something that you and/or your doctor would consider at this point.

OctoberStars · December 2014

I'm so sorry you're feeling down @JustinsLovo‌. Take all the time away from us that you need. I'm feeling kind of down myself. It's like the excitement of pregnancy had gone away and I just want to hibernate until I get good news. My u/s is the 19th so not super close. Fx you get exciting news on the 31st. Hugs!

@dancingbelle It looks like your link for the gif works! To gif on the computer, you click on the "Insert Image" icon (its a picture of a tree), paste the image link into the pop-up box, and click submit.

MrsC0409 · December 2014

HOLY.... COW. Remember that post I made on here earlier where I said my daughter flushed her toy down the toilet??? Three hours and $408 later our toilet is fixed... $408!! We literally FLUSHED $408 DOWN THE TOILET! I need a gallon of ice cream and a box of tissues STAT.

MrsC0409 · December 2014

@JustinsLovo I go through these times too... I think it's just the wild hormones. There's nothing wrong with you, but take the time away if you need it. I went through this with my daughter too and eventually it went away and I love her more than anything ever! I usually find that my mood goes with my symptoms. I'm much more excited about being pregnant when I feel at least halfway decent. If I don't feel good I just can't get excited and then I start asking myself what I've gotten myself into. I hope you feel better soon!

lifeisgood27 · December 2014

@JustinsLovo‌ oh man, I'm so sorry you're having these crazy down emotions. I hope you begin to feel better soon. A counselor, or maybe even talking to a close relative would help. Hormones being said, it's a possible reason, but doesn't make it any better. Creepy stranger hugs. Take it easy on yourself.

RWPhoenix · December 2014

@JustinsLovo I am sorry you are feeling down. Sending positive vibes and Internet hugs your way.

Why do we have to come into work the month of December? Don't people know that no one cares about work this month? I've been so bored out of my mind!!!!!!!!! It's getting really hard not to waste a sick or personal day

I know I need to save them.
