7/13/15 Monday Bitchfest :)

before I forget, here it is!! I seriously loathe clothing companies that force you into PLUS size clothing!!! I am by no means a small girl, I have always been between a 12-18. I have a big butt! Now that I'm pregnant, I was already in an 18 2 months in!!! I thought pregger clothes would be different! I mean everyone is fat then right?!!! So why is it when I go to the maternity store I feel like a heel cuz all the clothes are size 12 and below!!! They have a SMALL "plus" size section which to them is like 14 and above (I think) but they either had HUGE or SMALL...no I between 
why is this? The world needs to recognize there are more "plus" size then skinny people in the world now! I know in healthy and I know I'm pregnant not fat, but damn at 4 months I'm thinking I'm not gonna be able to stay in these 18s much longer, and I don't want to embarrass myself going into a store ((( any suggestions for decently priced, not so small girl, maternity clothing?

The 'plural' is back on the main page when there are new comments. Is this site and/or app ever going to work?
I woke up at 4:30 AM with chills, the I'm-about-to-get-violently-ill kind. Was up for an hour with an upset stomach, and again this morning. No idea why.
That's it for now...but it's still early.
Heat Advisory for Caddo Parish, LA
Issued by The National Weather Service Shreveport, LA
Mon, Jul 13, 3:06 am CDTMine is that I'm currently on my babymoon and took these 2.5 weeks off of work but work won't stop calling me. They woke me up at 7 to ask me where the extra blood draw tubes were. Um, in the storeroom where they have always been?! And then just now two hours later called to tell me I had to resend in my patient reports I submitted before I left because the nursing students accidently deleted all of the files while trying to access them.
I'm being punked right?!
We had a really bad storm yesterday that caused lots of flash flooding. I work in insurance so I KNEW today would be a "claim" day and completely inundated with calls. I was right. My boss went out of town this past wkd and didn't remember to put on his calendar so I wasn't prepared for a lack of help in the office. We're expecting more severe weather today and are under flash flood warning thru Wed.
And, yesterday, neighbor finally decided it was time to cut down his really dead tree. Cheap homeowner didn't want to pay someone so he & a buddy are climbing up in it with chainsaw and no harnesses. They cut a large limb that took the power out to their home. At 11pm last night, the electric company was running new service to their house which meant I was without power & AC @ bedtime.
Needless to say, I am a bitchy pregnant woman today. Grrrrr
I'm a teacher. I teach kindergarten and bust my ass from the first week of August till the last week of June. I teach summer school through June for some extra money. I put in 10-12 hours a day and usually spend time at school on the weekends, plus I bring work home with me. It's a very demanding job.
I have July off. One blissful month. My DH asks me daily, so what are you going to do today? Why do I have to do anything at all?! I want to sit on my butt and read or watch TV. I'm on vacation! I'll do laundry, clean up, and have dinner on the table. Stop asking me what I'm going to do!!!! I'm going to relax and continue incubating our baby.
ETA: I bought jeans at Motherhood and had to get the 1X. They are kind of loose in the legs, but the XL was too tight. They don't go by number sizes there. BUT, they are my favorite jeans and I guess I had to get over the fact that they were "plus" size. Also, Target maternity pants are comfortable. I've seen 16s and 18s there. I have the same problem, depending on the pants, I've always been anywhere from a 12-18. It's my ass and I know it, haha.
I'll be fine. Thanks though.
The bathrooms at work have motion sensor lights that go out after 5 minutes of stillness. Well my poos these days take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. So half way threw the lights go out and every freaking time I have to waddle pants around the ankles out of the stall far enough to set off the lights. I just know one of these days someone is going to walk in on my little poo shuffle and it's going to be so embarrassing.
Have you thought of bringing a nerf gun into the bathroom with you? Maybe you can just stand up and shoot darts towards the sensor?
Also, I think the "Poo Shuffle" could be a pretty cool, new dance fad.
And yes, I'm well aware this is a "first world problem" but I've been stressing about a nursery fit for twins and have been itching to get started.
My bosses response "You really shouldn't have told me that"
Uhhhhh k? Who else should I have told?
@amw2133 the poo shuffle is my new greatest move. I'm no dancer but man you should see me waddle with my pants around my ankles!!
What a perfect day for this. Not only was the humidity 100% when I got to work (I work outside) but I had to put together a huge shelf. I'm pretty sure parts of it weighed more than I was supposed to lift but I got it done (about 4 hours later). I still have to add the prices and find the product that goes on the rest of it that nobody had any idea where it was.
On a more sad note my 8 week old puppy has a very bloated tummy and I'm hoping she'll make it. Prayers please.

I was totally looking for this thread earlier. I'm going to start by bitching about the fact that people can't spell in the subject line of their posts and it's driving my crazy to have to see them every damn day. Take the time to read through the post.
