WTF Wednesday

Wine and/or puppies for all!

My wtf is to random insomnia. Seriously...it took me 2 hours to fall asleep and then I woke up a zillion times. I'm taking a sleeping pill tonight.

@BlueFairy5‌ lol! My corgi sleeps on the bed and he always sneaks up next to me and snores in my ear. Usually I don't notice but last night I did.

This is a totally silly and actually sweet WTF, but here it is anyway...WTF to DH. We SWORE no gifts this year due to the expense of treatment, the new bed we bought, etc. Well, what came in the mail the other day but a present for me. I love it and it was totally sweet, but now I need to get him something and he's impossible to shop for! Why can't men understand when we say no gifts, we mean it?!

saysjess · December 2014

WTF to me and my lack of willpower! I've been trying to eat a little healthier, especially with Christmas right around the corner. Somehow I've decided that, even though we haven't even started our first IVF cycle yet, I'm pretty much going to gain all the weight so I might as well just start now. Super.

dancerspose · December 2014

@BlueFairy DH is the same way. He can never hold onto gifts until the actual day. So even though Chanukah doesn't start until next week, when it arrived, I got it.

@iputketchuponketchup normally I would totally agree, but I've been pushing this no gift one pretty hard since october because we spent so much on the mattress. But what's annoying is that if you're going to insist on giving me something than everytime I ask what you want you could give me a response other than "nothin."

I get it though, they're no mind readers even though we want them to be. I also think it wasn't about the gift as trying to do something nice for me since it's been a rough year. So I will shut up, say thank you, and happily accept

@theholmanherd - as @lemonliz said try melatonan. I was having terrible insomnia and when I took that I slept like a baby (and it's better for you than regular sleeping pills).

@theholmanherd - as @lemonliz said try melatonin. I was having terrible insomnia and when I took that I slept like a baby. And it's much better than taking regular sleeping pills!

pinkdoggie · December 2014

@shafwilson - haha! This is EXACTLY what we are going through...I was like your christmas present this year is going to be treatment and (hopefully) a baby. And what does he do? He buys me an xbox because I mentioned (casually) that I wished I could play Mortal Combat with him like we did when we were first dating. I mean, i'm happy but not happy!

WTF to the mother that dropped off her three year old with no coat and flip flops and then telling me "you have extra clothes for a reason" when I told her he simply cannot wear those clothes during this season. (I work at a preschool). Of course I was frustrated but I stayed polite, but THEN she went to my boss and told them I was "giving her attitude" and "judging her for not being able to afford certain things" for her child. This is a woman with a coach purse and an iphone. Smhhhh.

sunshine412 · December 2014

My WTF is going to my DH today. He started growing a beard in November. I tell him every day how much I dislike the beard. Now he's decided that he won't shave it off until I get pregnant. Seriously?

SND1231 · December 2014

My WTF goes to myself for waiting until today to study for my ASL final that is tonight at 6PM. I am tired, moody, and not in the mood to study at all. Or do the dishes or put away all the clean clothes. Can I just go back to bed?

wanderlust508 · December 2014

@sunshine412, as if we don't have enough stress with IF!

I would be so irritated if my hubby declared that the beard would stay until I got KU. I'm sure he doesn't mean it to be - but that would feel like a lot of pressure to me.

I hope DH is kidding about keeping the beard til you're pregnant! Otherwise I would probably tell my DH that IF is hard enough without having to look at his hideous beard every day

Oh, God! I am not sharing that tidbit with mine! He already loves his short beard and would only need the teensiest nudge to quit trimming!

Can I just WTF Kate Middleton? Does she have to be beautiful EVERY damn day? Can they just capture a photo of her in sweatpants every once in a while? Or how about with a messy ponytail?

(Sorry, she's on the newsfeeds/twitter-verse a lot this week being in the U.S. It's kind of driving me crazy).

Just think what a scandal it would be if she were seen that way! The Queen would kick her out of the royal family!

Mellyknu · December 2014

My WTF: I have bone issues- especially in my left hip. They tend to get more painful than usual when there is a weather system coming in or pretty much all winter. This winter is way worse than it's ever been and I've been trying to suck it up rather than calling my doc to get an MRI and see what's going on (IVF is expensive enough!). A couple days ago, a light went off in my head. Fertility drugs. I did some research that I never bothered to do before, because baby>everything, and found out that just about everything I've been on has side effects that mess with your bones. Wonderful. Just wonderful. But will I stop taking them? Yeah right! Baby>everything.

theholmanherd · December 2014

Yeah, I actually have a costco-sized bottle of melatonin LOL I will be taking some tonight since DH is out of town for work and I'm off tomorrow. Yay for a sleep party of one!

kushie77 · December 2014

WTF Pearson Testing Centers. I get it, I registered when I took my PN boards in 2006. But that was 8 years ago, before I was married and had a different name. I understand my name has changed, but can you please let me log in and update my account so that I can schedule my RN boards the second I get my authorization to test. I'm sorry I don't remember my login information from 2006. There's no need to investigate my account my maiden name is XX my married name is XX but my SSN has not changed!

Sewfie · December 2014

WTF to myself. I mean, the incident happened yesterday, but the evidence showed up this morning.

So, yesterday, I got all close to the mirror in the bathroom at work to fix my hair, stepped back and turned around to leave. And slammed my face into the paper towel dispenser. Seriously, who does that? So now I have a blue bruise that looks like half a mustache. And I don't have the right concealer to hide it. Awesome!

susykat77 · December 2014

Oh! I like this game.

1.Why is every station playing Daughtry! I don't want to listen to him!

2. WTF to my body! Get on board.

@iPutKetchupOnKetchup Seconded. I miss the slightly sarcastic-looking tooth-showing smiley. This one looks like of like an eager puppy or something.

I agree!!

BunnyBerry · December 2014

WT... to meanness. Mean people are such meanies and I wish they cared enough not to be mean. That is all.

@bluejoan Is there any way you can make a request to a supervisor to work with someone else, or to intervene and require her to stop? This is a hostile work environment. Would it be okay for a sales partner to share proud pictures of their brother in combat gear if it upset a coworker with PTSD or whose husband was lost in Afghanistan? I am so angry on your behalf. Your coworker is so self-centered it is sickening. I really hope she stops or you are able to get away from it somehow. You don't deserve that.

@sunshine412 Oh no, that is so wrong! Punishing you with a nasty beard because you aren't pregnant yet? I hope he makes a quick 180 on that one. (And I'd also follow it up with a shaving ban of my own....)

@buttmonkey34 Yay for AF! Giving that b**ch a pat on the back for once.

@pinkdoggie Ew, what a crazy mom!! Sounds like she just likes to get anything free she can get her hands on, even if her kid has to go out in the cold to get free clothes from daycare. I wish you were allowed to take her Coach bag as collatoral for kiddie snow pants or something....

@shafwilson MH is like that too. It's so frustrating when he tells other people what present I got for them.

@BunnyBerry and @rainbowbridge14 -I work for a small business so no HR to go to. All of my co workers (all 6 of them) know what I've been through, first with IF, DH's surgery, then with IVF and now the MC so it's just them being thoughtless. I'm working on an exit strategy to possibly coincide with our 2nd IVF cycle. I need the money right now (trying to save for IVF#2) and don't have the time to actively look for something better.

Fertiles really don't get why this is so hard. I haven't cried at work yet but some days the drive home is a wet one.

I'm really happy I have an appointment with my therapist tonight. I can talk it over with her and cry and then we can plan.

Oh BlueJoan, I am so sorry. It's good you have a therapist appointment.

I might even bring it up when everyone's together, like for a meeting or lunch hour, and say something like, "I need some outside input here. Although I have just experienced a miscarriage, so-and-so insists on sharing baby pictures during sales calls. It's an extremely painful reminder of the recent loss of my child, that I'm trying to come to terms with, and is creating a work environment which is harming my recovery. Is it reasonable to accommodate my bereavement at this time until I feel comfortable seeing baby pictures again?"

But I would only say something like that because at my workplace I could trust that everyone would be on my side. If I thought people would be talking about how I'm oversensitive or blame me for creating workplace conflict, I would perhaps prepare a very serious, clear statement like this and tell the coworker, then let her know that she absolutely must respect your grieving. I feel like using words such as "loss," "recovery," and "bereavement" might strike a chord with experiences that are more common and well-understood.

theholmanherd · December 2014

@BlueJoan‌ I'm sorry

that is just plain awful of her.

mshandlebar · December 2014

@Buttmonkey34 - Glad AF showed up!!

@sunshine412 - I have the opposite problem. MH just shaved off his beard, and I am having a hard time coping. He is regrowing it so now his face is all scratchy. And, while I love him dearly, he has a bit of a butt chin, and it weirds me out to see it exposed. I wouldn't be a huge fan of the no shave till pregnant thing, but guys must have some deep seated instinct that by the power of their beards they can make shit happen. MH vowed not to shave until he finished his dissertation. It took a year and a half, and by the end his beard was bigger than my head. Not cool.

@triathlete23 - I am so sorry about your vitamin D levels. That is really crummy.

WTF stress. Work has been ridiculous. We are in the midst of this huge marketing campaign, and it is making me want to bang my head into a wall. To top it off, I had to run a bajillion errands after work and got in a fight with MH about whether to make tofu scramble and pancakes or pasta for dinner (Are you kidding! Who the heck cares! Just feed me!). The only bright side to this would be that maybe AF is imminent and that is why I have the crazies.

sunshine412 · December 2014

@mshandlebar‌ Oh my... I don't think I could handle a year and a half's worth of beard growth! Not cool at all! I threaten to shave it in his sleep (which I would never actually do, but it's fun to joke about).
