Twatwaffle Tuesday 11/17

Didn't see one started........ So here ya go! Let's hear them!

The twatwaffle in my life today just happens to be a little bit of everything. Twatfwaffles are coming out of the woodwork today from all directions so it's hard to pick just one event/situation. So I'll leave it at that.

This is from yesterday, but it is still pissing me off. So there was an unfortunate situation at work on Friday where there was a communication breakdown and now we have an upset parent. Honestly, I did my due diligence and more, calling the parent, emailing the teacher, and of course documenting a report. I really couldn't have done more (and after consulting with my nurse leader, she agrees that I went above and beyond given the information that was presented to me). But, of course, because there is an angry parent, someone's head needs to roll and it will be a cold day in hell when our principal admits that maybe one of her precious teachers dropped the ball so of course who gets shat upon? Well, the poor, overworked, pregnant school nurse of course! GAHHHHH!

And just now, literally just now as the children are getting dismissed, two little students come to my office with vague complaints and are reassured they are going to be just fine. Then they announce that their teacher informed them that I would be walking them to their after school program...at the other building about a 10 min walk from the main building. Pardon me? Ummm, no. I have work to do here, in my office, as the nurse, in the nurse's office. Granted I am bumping right now, but I am also finishing my daily visit log, compiling data from my BMI screenings today, waiting for a call back from an MD referral for a homeless student since our school physician is technically the PCP, and inputting new student immunization records. So, no, I can not walk these two littles to their after school program, as much as I would love to. I am contracted until 3pm and I have to pick up my son from daycare at 3:15pm. So, if I am wandering around with these children, how am I supposed to get everything done and get out in the next 20 min? Again, I say, GAHHHHHHHH!

Twatwaffle is definitely my male coworker who came up to me while I was eating my lunch with a friend (I had a snack two hours earlier), and shouted "You are eating again?!".

His wife is pregnant and I honestly feel so sorry for her.

DH. Four days ago I woke up and just didn't feel pg. It feels instinctual. I also have a fear that something is just wrong with the baby. I felt that way the last appt even though we heard the HB. I told DH about this yesterday and he suggested I call our nurse friend (doc was closed yesterday). She said I should call the doctor. So I called today and asked if it was normal for me to feel this way. She said no not really and my doc was in surgery but she's going to make sure to talk to him today and call me by the end of the day with instructions. I go to the doctor on Friday and told the nurse I can just wait to come in then but she said the doc may want me to go get hooked up at the hospital just to check. I called DH to tell him all this and he said "DW (Dear Wife aka my name)!!! Why don't you just go to his office bc that's what you're wanting to do anyways?! You are determined to not wait until Friday and I know that's the reason!" WTF dude?! Where did supportive DH go?? I told the nurse I could wait until Friday but just was tired of driving myself up the wall and wanted to know if there is something I could do or if she could just give me a peace of mind by telling me this is a normal feeling.

Work wins again. Just got an email that we will have visitors/clients touring at our facility tomorrow so we have to dress up... Business casual with our work polo shirts (we have a pretty laid back dress code normally - jeans, flip flops, and t-shirts are perfectly acceptable attire since we're software developers).

I should note... Of course my dress pants and khakis no longer fit and neither does my work shirt. Tomorrow should be interesting as everyone doesn't know yet at work. Guess they will tomorrow.

Twatwaffle is my ulcerative colitis. I haven't had a flare up in years but it has reared its ugly head recently. I'm also sort of a twatwaffle because my first instinct was to ignore it and suffer in silence. I finally got the courage to tell H about it today and with his encouragement, I emailed my OB about it. I'm nervous it will get worse. I'm nervous about not having a GI doctor right now, and what kind of testing I may have to do with a new one. It's really frustrating and painful and gross. I always try my best to put on a happy face and hide any flaws or weakness, so I was not even going to mention it here but then I realized you ladies have been so supportive and wonderful I need not be afraid. If I can't talk about it on this anonymous internet forum, I'm screwed.

This is a medical condition, not a weakness!! I'm sorry you're going through that. I have a GI condition that is really painful too and I'm very afraid it's going to rear it's ugly head while I can't take anything to combat it. So I kinda get it. Just let it out here...we've already talked about vomit and poop and (literally) everything in between

Someone get this girl a dancing skeleton gif STAT!!

My twatwaffle for every week of all eternity is my supervisor. He is a tool and seems to be determined to make my pregnancy as difficult as possible, EVEN THOUGH he knows that I in general don't need the stress and specifically can't afford it after having 2 losses just this year.

If I could just kick him in the nuts it would make me feel so much better. Instead, there is an even bigger jerk that is our union representative, so I'm just gonna sick him on my boss.

P.S. It pays to have a big jerk in your life but ONLY when they're on your side *insert devilish grin* (I hope my kid is a better person than me LOL).

@LadySamLady Girl, you have nothing to be shy about! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Good for you for telling your H and OB so you can come up with a plan.

My headaches/ health the past 2 days are a huge twatwaffle. Yesterday I became so hot all of a sudden I decided to take my temp. As I head for the bathroom I almost black out. Vision was going so I dropped down to the ground so I wouldn't pass out and hit the tile floor. Once my vision came back I took my temp and it was 99+ so a low grade fever. Then later in the day I got a migraine so bad I couldn't do anything. Luckily it went away after a few hours. But today I had another headache as I was heading into work but thankfully that one didn't turn into a migraine. Idk whats going on but it needs to stop ASAP.

I'm late to the party, but I have two TWs today.

1. My immune system: I've practically been pregnant for a full year now (5 weeks between our loss and this pregnancy isn't a lot) and I haven't been really sick in like 10 years. On Thursday I got a sinus infection and then that moved to my chest and I ended up in the ER on Saturday because I couldn't breathe. It turns out I have bronchitis. Luckily, the antibiotics started working fairly quick and I was able to get back to work today.

2. My coworker who is leaving for maternity leave on 12/1. Apparently, nothing is her job anymore and she has forgotten how to do everything. I understand pregnancy brain and having "senioritis," but seriously!? Don't lie about knowing how to do something. Do your damn job until you aren't there anymore. I'm not here to pick up your pieces and cover your ass everyday! I'm so tired of her attitude and honestly kind of hope she doesn't come back to work.
