Monday Bitchfest

Let's here it ladies!

I just about lost it on my coworker when I walked into work this morning. I have a considerable bloat bump at 10 weeks which is making me look like I am about 4 months along. I have already told my work because there is no hiding it at this point. As I am walking into work this morning, one of the secretaries comes up to me, rubs my stomach, and says, "wow, you're getting massive already!" Guys, it took everything in me to not throat punch the chick.

Oh, man! You are a very strong woman to have been able to resist decking that lady out! How do you not know you do NOT tell a pregnant woman she is "massive"?! Not cool!

@sarawifenow I almost did that on Friday when a coworker came up to me and said "you're pregnant, aren't you" after I asked for some Tylenol but refused Aleve. I did a quick lie and told her that I had an allergic reaction and can't have it anymore. But seriously people, stop asking until we are ready to tell you.

My bitchfest goes to myself, since I stayed up until 11pm watching The Notebook (because I've only seen it 20 times) and now I'm freaking exhausted and have no patience to deal with people all day. I told DH this morning that I can't stay up that late anymore. He was nice enough not to say anything!

@sarawifenow Many people have no filter when it comes to pregnant women (or boundaries!). I think part of this is that they don't realize, or don't remember that every woman grows differently, and part of the problem is that they want to say something so they say something stereotypical and tactless. Really, pregnant women are more patient than people give us credit for.

Last time I got many "Look how big you're getting!" or "Wow, you're even bigger than last week!" These comments can be hurtful and I'm trying to prep myself for them mentally for this time. I try my best to take the well-meaning jabs as compliments. Last pregnancy, when I looked full term but still had over 2 months to go, I had a student exclaim, "When are you having your baby? You look like you're going to birth a toddler!" ...I teach 11th graders who really should know better. Eventually, I just started telling the really rude people, "Thank you. It's crazy, I know, but when you're pregnant you get bigger until you have the baby!"

Edited because I suck at words today

My generic Monday bitchfest is just because it's Monday. And I'd much rather be home, laying on the couch, binge watching season 4 of Scandal.

Its Monday. Nuff said

So we're moving across the country first, and then in another year to the UK. For this particular move I have to pack EVERYTHING because of the logistics of it all. I have been procrastinating packing for a couple of weeks now because I feel like utter crap, but now I have to get going because we only have two weeks left. We have a ton of stuff too.....*sighs.* I honestly still don't feel like doing crap especially since I have to eat a couple of bites of something every 15-20 mins to keep the nausea at bay, but can't eat a real meal all at once because I get sick. UGH. I.HATE.TODAY.

nsouplynn · October 2015

It's Monday and I work for someone that is a HUGE micro-mangaer. This is my current facial expression:

@sarawifenow that woman deserves all the throat punches. @kbrands7 is right - people have no filter. I had a few people literally ask me how many pounds I had gained when I was pregnant with DD. I would smile and say I wasn't sure. This time I'm going to just ask them how many pounds they've gained.

I used to always just give them some ridiculous number! "I've totes gained 200lbs.....and doc says it's all baby!"

JessicaB0627 · October 2015

DD apparently hates Mondays too. I had to deal with all kinds of drama from her about random stuff. She was screaming at me that SHE wanted to brush her teeth (at this point we were already extremely late) and all I could do was laugh. If I find out I'm having another girl I think I might cry. I'm over the drama, kid! You're 2.5 not 16!

Ha! Yes! Tucking that one away. It made it worse because my MIL is one that kept asking and she is OBSESSED with everyone's weight and really isn't at a healthy weight herself. I'm going to tell her I've gained 180 and that her next grandbaby is already training to be a sumo wrestler.

lest12 · October 2015

@mrstmoose - I stayed up late watching The Notebook too! I couldn't help it.

yogahh · October 2015

mrstmoose I feel asleep watching the Notebook last night too. My NHIE- watched it the whole way through! I always fall asleep during the "tell me I am a bird" part!! Someone needs to revoke my Girl Card.

aamm04 · October 2015

I got three hours of sleep and I am CRANKY.

Between the lack of sleep, and this back and forth between eating all the spicy food and puking, I need to go home and lock myself in a room.

mlangblom · October 2015

Sorry to all of you dealing with awful people that can't keep their mouths shut. Stop commenting on the size of women, anyone for that matter, pregnant or not. It's none of your business.

My bitch is that I had to get the kids of of the house this morning. I am not sure how all the daycare moms do it. We have a very atypical childcare situation that means I never have to have the kids up and dressed and out the door in the morning. Well this morning I had to get them to my mom's across the city and it was terrible. How does it take them 15 minutes to drink a sippie of milk? Not to mention they went in their pjs, because getting them dressed was not happening.

Kudos moms who can get their kids out of the house. You all deserve very large gold stars. =D>

saladflambe · October 2015

Weeeerk

JessicaB0627 · October 2015

@mlangblom that's hilarious! It would be a dream come true if I didn't have to get DD up and ready in the morning! I was late today because of her drama. I also have to be conscious of what she eats for breakfast. If I give her oatmeal I need to plan for her to take about 20 minutes to finish it.

mlangblom · October 2015

@JessicaB0627 I used to nanny and had to get a pre-schooler out the door. I guess I completely blocked that out. Plus with two of them they outnumber me, being outnumbered was my first mistake. This LO will really make interesting. Zone defense here we come!

vinerie · October 2015

My Bbs are huge and it's really a problem!! I think this is worse than the nausea!

thismakes4 · October 2015

It's Monday, the dh seemed to be working against me this morning. First dh spilled water all over the kitchen floor so I nearly fell down when I walked in there. He left to work without even putting a towel on it. And this was after I kissed him goodbye and he blew his coffee breath in my face thinking my gag face was hilarious (can't stand coffee right now). Also he didn't help DS do his homework this weekend and of course I realize as I'm getting his back pack ready so I'm scribbling like a kindergarten this morning telling my son that if his teacher asked I didn't do his homework :-?? So anyways I get all my kids ready and house locked up and had to search for the car seat my husband left somewhere on 4 acres (it was wet of course) so I dry it and get the kids all loaded and they seriously forget their backpacks.... Ugh.

nbgmom · October 2015

My bitch is that it has been raining for 2 weeks straight and my kids are losing their sh^t. Almost 5 and 2, both girls, and they are at each other's throats nonstop! So ready for it to clear up!

schicksal · October 2015

Mine complaint is that way too many people are out today so I'm stretched beyond thin. Days like this can't go by fast enough!

wsgjmw1 · October 2015

ready for my blump to be a bump. really over this all being a secret. my hormones are raging and mondays suck!

I have made it abundantly clear to everyone that my belly is off limits. I hope I am able to have the same discipline as you did. Baby or not - touching is not okay.

TheThornBird · October 2015

My future FIL is *extremely* obese- to the point where it has had dramatic, negative impacts on his and his family's lives. I want to feel bad for him, but he's made it clear to everyone he will not give up his unhealthy habits and does not care how it affects them. Well, now he is finally facing serious health problems, including possible organ failure and needs immediate surgery. Thinking that facing his own mortality may cause him to start taking his health seriously, my SO offered to buy him some exercise equipment and a gym membership. FIL's response?

"Instead could you just buy us a new TV?"

Not a TV he could watch while on a treadmill or exercise bike. Nope, a TV for the bedroom. SMH.

LadySamLady · October 2015

You guys I'm hottttttttttttttt. And by that I mean my office is stuffy and I'm on fire. I look like I ate a soccer ball.

baybeekay · October 2015

I'm flying home from a weekend in Atlanta with DH today (we went to the foo fighters concert. Yay!) and going through security I get a full pat down and all of my bags are searched and I'm questioned about my Dunkin donuts portable cell phone charger. SERIOUSLY?!?! It took me an hour to get through security all bc I am prepared to charge my cell phone.

UGHHHHHH!!!!

schicksal · October 2015

Ok actual complaining...

I work in an open area and there is scaffolding nearby. Today someone decided that it has to be moved so there are 4 guys with hammers banging on what are basically big pipes to take the thing apart and move it nearby. Lots of *BANG BANG BANG BANG* CLUNK as the pipe falls to the concrete floor. This is how we will be serenaded for the next half hour.

Who does that? I've seen that in movies and such, but I've never witnessed such behavior. I would lose my $h1t if someone did that to me!

Someone is repairing the copy machine, which is located just outside my office. BANG BANG BANG ... VACUUM NOISE...BANG BANG BANG. That is my afternoon serenade, so I feel you! I wish I had noise cancellling headphones right about now!

My two year old came down with the stomach flu. She is almost 27 months, and I know we have been so, so, so lucky to have gone this long without vomit in our lives, but why now?

WHY NOW?

LemmyRN · October 2015

Someone's gotta let all the men know!!!!

mollykhall · October 2015

I love my husband, but he just doesn't get it. This is our first and I'm EXHAUSTED. He's been great with helping around the house and cooking, but at least once a day he asks, "why are you so tired?"

I don't know, maybe because you knocked me up?

lionstigersbears · October 2015

My nose is on hyperdrive and DH still thinks it's funny to fart near me and see how long it takes me to notice. ALL OF THE RAGE, every single time, has not taught him his lesson.

nsouplynn · October 2015

@mollykhall My husband drives me crazy when he says that to me and says he doesn't get how I am always tired. (Because I sleep in, take naps and still go to bed early) Maybe because my body is sucking all my energy to make this baby. He should've remember my exhaustation from the first pregnancy!

kbrands7 · October 2015

I love my mom dearly and she does a wonderful job watching DS...except for naps. This is I think, the third workday on a row that I've come home to a toddler who didn't nap and falls asleep on me within a few minutes of picking him up.Now he'll want to sleep through dinner again and go to bed late. It throws off the entire evening routine. DH and I have tried suggestions and guidelines. DS does try to refuse naps sometimes but the latest he's ever down for DH or me is 1pm. Most days he's 11:00 like clockwork. I just don't get it.

Oh man, I feel ya. My neighbor came by the other day and I looked exhausted and she told dh... Man your wife looks so tired all the time. His response, "yeah I have no idea why she's tired. She's only 7 weeks pregnant." :-w I was mad. This is our fourth kid, you'd think he'd know by now how tired I am in the first trimester.

saraleigh2 · October 2015

I'm sick of feeling like crap!!! Surviving on crackers and pickles. Mood swings... I've told hubby a million times please clean up the kitchen -which he does, the promptly cooks a meal which I appreciate, but leaves all the dirty dishes to rot and smell again - no progress made!!!!! Still smells! Thanks for helping the morning sickness! X(
