Let's hear it!

kaitm22 · January 2015

I think LO may have a cold. He is stuffed up and coughing, yet seems like his normal happy self, so I don't know what's going on.

I have a networking meeting tonight that I should go to because we are talking about doing your taxes for your business, but I really don't want to go. I joined the group before LO came along to grow my business, and now that I am not looking to grow anymore, but to actually decrease my workload, this group is a big freaking waste of my money, but I am obligated through May. =(

A lady I used to do a networking group with keeps asking me to help out with an upcoming bridal fair that I want nothing to do with. Don't ask people with babies to help with your crap!

LO just did an epic spit-up.

My period came back yesterday. It is just as bad, if not worse than post baby discharge.

This one is stupid and more of an irrational irritation but I have my recycle bin and trash bin set up a certain way near my desk. When our cleaning person empties it she swaps them around and moves them farther away from me. I don't understand why she cannot put them back where they are at.

The men I work with just don't understand why I need to pump 3 times a day. And their wives breastfed their children. Someone explain to me how this is difficult for them to understand.

arcarpe2 · January 2015

I finally got LO down for a nap and then we pass the one hour mark which I then started doing a happy dance. Five minutes later jack hammer drilling starts in the apartment above me. My child has never been more scared in his life.

I hate apartment living!

MC03 · January 2015

WTF boobs? I just don't understand you. Yesterday morning, after LO ate, I was able to pump 6 oz just from leftie.

Then this morning - to replace an entire feeding - I pump and only get 5oz? Usually I get at least 8, which I need in order to have enough milk to send to daycare tomorrow. Ugh. I love how easy breastfeeding has become lately, but I hate the stress of the pump.

LucyLorrai · January 2015

My WTF is my mother is driving me crazy. She and my stepdad decided to end their relationship 8 months ago (they were not married but together for 15 years and had no children together). I understand this has been difficult but please stop acting like a teenage girl by stalking his facebook and then getting upset that he has a new girlfriend and then complaining to me about it. Its been 8 months people are allowed to move on. I told her stop facebook stalking him because it may help her move on and now she doesn't want to talk to me. I am secretly happy for a few days of peace.

jenniferurs · January 2015

I apologize in advance, but...you asked.

1)

Dear mom's friend,

If you have a cough and think you might be coming down with something, then please take it upon yourself to NOT hold my daughter. She has now been refusing to sleep the last couple nights and has been a total fusspot all day long, and although I don't know if it's related, I'm going to blame you and your germs anyway.

2) Dear morning sickness...go F yourself.

3) I'd really like my mom to stop calling her boyfriend her boyfriend. Because really, she's more like a high end escort to him at this point. Sure, he flies her out to whichever country he happens to be working in at the time, but when push comes to shove, their relationship is a total farce. She broke her foot over the weekend and he refuses to come be here for her, so it all falls on my pregnant self, despite the fact that I'm nauseous, exhausted, and have an infant of my own to care for. Oh and my mom is about to have rotator cuff surgery once her foot heals and he refuses to come visit her during any of her recovery for that either.

High. End. Escort.

I'm pretty bitchy about the fact that i have zero sex drive.

This! Plus, if I don't swap them back first thing when I get in, my brain doesn't register they're swapped around so I throw banana peels and yogurt cups in the paper only recycle bin and then have to dig it out and throw it in the other one.

And also - dear family members, quit bringing up all the negatives about LO going to daycare. Quit overreacting and look at the good things that will come of it too. Ugh.

jamjoyful · January 2015

I have a terrible headache today. The one day I need to be happy and social.

kareik01 · January 2015

DH just went to the hospital because his lower leg is really infected, and apparently we waited too long because they're highly concerned about a blood infection.

The injury happened at work, but it's one of those where it seemed fine so he didn't fill out worker's comp papers, and after he bumped it again on the coffee table at home then it got real serious really quick. Ugh. So of course I googled blood infections and I'm about to die now from worry.

I hope everything is okay! Many thoughts for a speedy recovery!

jamjoyful · January 2015

Hope he is okay @kareik01‌!

tamarar5 · January 2015

Gah. I hate that our chiropractor doesn't open until 10am. So even if we have the very first appointments of the day, it still shoots an entire morning and I get absolutely NOTHING else done.

WTF, DH, why do we still only have one car!!!! Fix your freaking truck, or get me a new car. I'm sick of being stuck at home while you go to work, OR having to wake up three kids, lug them out to the car in the middle of the night while it is freaking cold out just to go pick you up. Tax Returns cannot get here fast enough this year!

WTF hospital, get your damn act together and send me bills, and stop sending my stuff to collections when I've never been billed. We are trying to sell our damn house and get a new one, so having sh!t pop up on our credit report really blows.

T&P that he is ok!

cdseno · January 2015

Classes started back today. My one professor never submitted her textbook information so there was nothing at the bookstore. We have major homework due for Sunday and I have no idea when I will receive my book. Way to drop the ball lady!

poofwok · January 2015

@kareik01‌ T&P's to your little guy! Hope he feels better soon.

TinkL0ver · January 2015

we moved at the end of october and I have been fighting since then to get Medi-Cal to switch to our new county. I got a letter that said E would be covered starting the 1st of January but haven't heard anything so I called them and they still haven't done everything and now I have to wait even longer. Gah.

On the plus side, SO finally got a job after almost 2 years of unemployment!!!

Dawn5481 · January 2015

Last I checked, we were all still women (no matter how bad these babies tried to tear out our vaginas). Can we all stop acting like getting our periods again is a crazy concept???? Why is being on the rag front page news???

jessicamunn · January 2015

My mother is law makes me crazy.. Like eye twitching, blood boiling, in need of an exorcism, kind of crazy

This is why I won't even open the period thread.

I haven't had a real period in 10 years thanks to BC, so for me right now having it back is a crazy concept. This is the bitchfest thread so I was just bitching about it.

Dawn5481 · January 2015

I've been struggling with not having the same last name as my baby from day one. Plus no one will stop asking me when I'm getting married. Plus I've realized I have to cancel my wedding that was rescheduled for september because we can't afford it anymore. So, yeah.

Early UO. I mean this in the nicest way possible......but I feel all the posts about weddings perpetuates the stereotype that all women should only care about getting married and having babies. I love that you had a great wedding....but new subject please. BTW I chose to opt out of the whole wedding thing so I never have been a big fan.

Well to be fair, there is also a career thread. But I am all for started some politics threads if anyone is interested.

I am sorry. What type of wedding were you planning for? Could you scale back a little so you can still do it?

Cute barn wedding. I think even if I scale back as much as possible we're still going to have to go to the courthouse instead

vk2204 · January 2015

@dawn5481 You could do the courthouse with just your family and then have a little gathering after, maybe? Or do a cake and punch reception? I hope it works out for you!

When I was getting married, someone told me that the wedding is for your guests and the honeymoon is for you. In my case, she was totally right. I was stressed and anxious all through our wedding. It felt like I was throwing a big party, and I'm not a big party type of person. Anyway, all of this to say that maybe you aren't missing out all that much. If you are wanting a wedding though, I hope you get it one day. And it's nobody's business why you have a different last name as your children. I know a couple ladies who didn't change their names because they were already published by the time they were married. I don't see how that is different than your case, and everyone should be respectful.

*steps off soapbox*

tinkerbell019 · January 2015

Adding to the wedding talk...This is my 2nd marriage & DHs 3rd (granted my first wedding was beautiful - I loved everything about it...even my husband at the time LOL). But my now DH and I did the court house wedding about 3 mo. before LO was born (actually we went on a Wednesday morning, went out to lunch, then to work LOL) & we had a big family/friends bbq that weekend. We had a great time celebrating our new beginnings, but at this point in our lives we're both very over wedding stuff, didn't even want to think about wedding details/planning. I'm considering doing a vow renewal on our summer vacation, but I'll likely be too lazy to plan it and just want to enjoy vacation!

Mom's friend was diagnosed with Influenza Type A today, and Brooke has a rising temperature (only 99.8 at this point though), a cough, a stuffy nose, wheezy breath when lying down, and has been extremely fussy.

If I were to give someone on here a name (say, mom's friend, for instance), would you be able to give me said person's address?

You know, for strictly informational purposes.

kareik01 · January 2015

Sorry to bring up a finished thread ladies, but wanted to update about DH for those that asked.

DH's leg seems to be fine. They gave him a tetanus booster shot and some very strong antibiotics. They said if it wasn't looking better by today to go back in right away to be admitted and put on IV and medication. He wacked it again last night as we were loading stuff up in the trailer for our move, so I was afraid it would get worse again. But it looks OK this morning for the most part...much better than 2 days ago anyway! For now I think we're in the clear, and thanks for the support!
