I'm guessing some of you are on vacation this week but anyone have any post-holiday gripes to get off their chests?



After DS1, my periods were like clockwork every 28 days. No cramps, some moderate bleeding the first couple days maybe. This time they're ridiculously heavy and I get the worst cramps I've had in years. Ugh! I'm hoping they'll get better over time because this is no fun. I feel like my pre- birth control days.

    1. DD has some sort of gnarly diaper rash that won't go away, is drooling like crazy, won't nap, and is generally fussy today. :(

    2. I'm trying desperately to buy her a Jumperoo online with a visa gift card and it's not working. So frustrated!

    3. Despite gentle reminders that our kids have enough and don't need an excess amount of Christmas gifts, my ILs ignored us once again. It looks like a bomb went off in our house.

    4. DH really wants to make one last goodwill donation before the year is over (for tax purposes), which means I need to find the time to organize, purge, and declutter. It would help if we hadn't just received a zillion new toys/outfits. And if the baby didn't scream every time I put her down.

    5. My older two are chasing each other, screaming, and generally being obnoxious.

    All of these things are related... I'm a bitch today. OMG.

    I'm dreading my first PP period. Still haven't gotten it and who knows if it's because I'm BFing still or because of irregularity. A few months before I got my BFP, I hadn't had a period for 6 months and had to take Chasteberry to start my cycles again. And because it's herbal there is no testing really for taking it while BFing. Ugh.

    We were given a generous check for Christmas. I put some of it in checking on Saturday and was told because of the size it'd be on hold a couple days. No problem, makes sense. Had some bills scheduled for payment today so before shopping yesterday, I double checked the balance to be sure I'd be good (we like to keep checking tight to our needs and the majority of our cash in savings). Today I went to get gas and couldn't because of insufficient funds. Apparently they were holding about 60% of that check I deposited, but it wasn't clear in my balance vs available balance so when I looked yesterday it looked like I had more money available than I really did. It'll all be cleared up by tomorrow, but I barely made it to DD's 6 month check up where DH could give me cash for gas. I called to confirm my follow appointment with the foot doctor tomorrow since I hadn't received a reminder call. They told me the appointment had been cancelled by my doctor. This happened a month ago, but when I called to reschedule because of that, I was told I received the cancellation in error and my appointment wasn't cancelled. Now I'm waiting to hear back from the supervisor to see what happened/what they're going to do about it and they close in an hour. Debating just calling them back.

    DD1 has the flu. Fairly certain she's passed it on to her baby sister, because she doesn't understand that she needs to stay out of her face. It could just be teething. Only time will tell. I have an awful headache because AF is due any day now. And I've missed 2 days of work because of DD1's illness. Which means I'll probably be written up. Sometimes it's a struggle choosing between work and the kids.

    I've had to work from home/be with family so much that I got to spend extra time with DD. If spoiled me, and now I'm a little depressed that I'm back to the office again on a normal schedule. I hate pumping 10x more than I did before, too. Ugh. I figured getting through back to maternity leave was the worst I would have to deal with, but this is worse.

    Feel like I tore a muscle in my back this morning from carrying around LO.  It took tylenol and ibuprofen to dull the pain.  Ugh.  Maybe I just slept wrong on it, but it hurt like a SOB this morning when I picked up LO.

    I've only had 1 PP AF, but it was much longer than my previous cycles and was about as heavy as the bleeding just after having LO.  I hope they don't all stay like that!  I was pretty happy that AF stayed away for nearly 5 months, though.

    I'm also feeling overwhelmed. I've been sick for a month with a cold I can't shake. I'm up half the night with the twins, so I'm completely sleep deprived. We have 2 older boys that I allow to watch way too much tv, but I don't have the time or the energy to entertain them, so I just go around feeling guilty. I feel like I could literally work in the house non-stop all day every day and still not be caught up. And I go back to work teaching in 2 weeks (and I haven't done any planning and I'm fairly certain my brain has turned to mush, and therefore I have no business educating our future). So, getting up at 5:30 am to go to work after being up all night with the twins is going to be great. Plus, my work load around the house is staying the same, but now I'm adding work and hours of grading to it!! And I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't like me (though to be fair, I am a sickly sleep-deprived bitch these days, so can I really blame him?) Yay!! I feel like I'm rounding the corner to a nervous breakdown. Fun shit!! Just had to vent!!
