My bitchfest: I dropped one of my dogs off for surgery, and I was doing okay until I came home without her and my other two dogs lost their shit. Now I can't stop crying because my little boy dog is wandering the house wimpering pitifully and my other female is making this weird whine/purr noise that she does whenever she is distressed. I know that seeing my dog all patched up and drugged this afternoon will just make me feel worse. Hormones are awful.
My pregnant @$$ just hauled our Christmas tree to the curb only to get dirty looks from the neighbor who was loading his into the back of his SUV (probably to recycle as they were talking about that in the Facebook group). F off nosey neighbor. I'm only recycling if they pick it up from my curb for free. Sorry not sorry.
Yesterday was husband's birthday and for the past nearly 10 years, I've always gone out of my way to make something spectacular happen. He never acted like he appreciated what I did and said I didn't need to do anything special. This year, I had zero energy or time to do something big so I got him awesome gifts and told him to lead the way for whatever he wanted to do. We ended up going to breakfast and then staying home all day. At the end of the night, he starts complaining that he wanted to do something. Come on, bro! I am no mind reader and it's YOUR damn birthday. If you want to do something, DO IT. Gah, you'd think he was 13 instead of 35.

Also, to aid in keeping the garbage taste out of my mouth, I've been chewing spearmint gum. It works like a charm for about an hour and then, I have a gagging fit and I HAVE to spit it out IMMEDIATELY. What the actual fuck?

Omg, I didn't know anyone else was having the 'garbage mouth' problem! I don't feel so weird now. I've been using Altoids or Lifesavers. I noticed if I chew gum for too long I get a bit gaggy too.
I'm at work today clearly not working because out of the 11 attorneys I work with only TWO are actually here. AND, I keep throwing up. But, not actual food or anything that I've eaten. Just stomach fluids that taste like acid. Awesome! Happy Monday ladies!
Mommy to an angel baby and a sweet little girl Earth side.
My MIL has cancer. (This is just the background. Not what I'm bitching about...) Anyway, we have to share my oldest kids with my ex. So he had the first half of winter break. We have the second. Which means we didn't pick them up until the afternoon on Christmas day. So several weeks ago, we decided we would be pushing our celebration back by one day. See Star Was Christmas day and do all the normal christmas morning stuff on the 26th. Since literally zero of our family members bothered to call or text about other plans at all during the entire month of December, this seems pretty safe, right? Well at freaking 10pm on Christmas day (or should I say night? ) my husband's little sister starts texting "As many of you know we're doing pictures for mom and dad tomorrow." Um... the fuck no we aren't. And proceeds to talk about being there by 10am (there is more than an hour away, btw) and a dress code. So apparently we have to SHOP before this? For all my kids?? No. Just no. The texting keeps going until well after midnight as she keeps changing plans and moves the time to 1pm or something. And keeps sending my husband messages about how he should drop everything because "this could be our last Christmas with mom" etc. So we don't sleep well. We proceed with our own plans. She texts later that we suck. I call her out on how crazy inconsiderate it was of her to send us plans AFTER bedtime on Christmas like that and expect us to be able to drop all of our own stuff, shop, ready three kids, drive an hour out of our way, and she didnt even bother to ask if we would HAVE the kids for these pictures. But if she's really been planning this, why were we such an after thought? She could have given way more notice. And I said her guilt trip was fucked up because she isn't the only person losing her mother. Making her brother feel like crap isn't cool. So she called me a twat and told me never to speak to her again. Bye Felicia.
@ButterMyBiscuit and @Nerdchild -- I also have garbage mouth, aka The Taste. Gum helps, but I only chew it briefly, while it's super flavorful. Last night I was googling it and found an article that suggested eating pickles. It totally works. It removes the taste instead of just masking it the way gum seems to.

MotherOfDucks your SIL needs to reel it the F in. Seriously.
My bitching is just because of my emotional rollercoaster my hormones have been giving me this week. As some of you read, my sister's LO is in nicu after being born with meconium aspiration on the 23rd. My sister still can't hold her or feed her yet. Thankfully she's already off her oscillator and sedation and the breathing tube is out, but it still is so sad.
Today I have my NT scan and I'm so nervous. I haven't "felt" pregnant in a couple weeks, and combined with my sadness with my sister it just made me miss my parents. My father passed 3 years ago and my mom had a massive stroke, so I don't have them to lean on. I woke up this morning at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep.
@dolewhipper The NICU is rough at first. It gets easier. But I'm hoping your sister doesn't have time to get used to it because things go so quickly and her baby is home in no time. I suggest you buy yourself a treat when you're out for your scan. You deserve it. And a nap....
@CarrieandRoy Pickles actually make a lot of sense. My husband drinks whiskey rocks with a pickleback and I know from past experience that the pickle juice can cut the whiskey burn.
Eta: pickles/pickles juice have electrolytes and are great for hangovers/stomach flu.
@dolewhipperSending good thoughts your way to you and your sister and her LO. Prayers you get to see your healthy baby today and put that part of your mind at ease. Stress from other parts of our lives can make us temporarily forget what's going on with our bodies at times - maybe you just haven't felt pregnant the past couple of weeks because you've been so preoccupied with everything else going on to notice as much!
I'm at work today clearly not working because out of the 11 attorneys I work with only TWO are actually here. AND, I keep throwing up. But, not actual food or anything that I've eaten. Just stomach fluids that taste like acid. Awesome! Happy Monday ladies!
Update: I finally threw up real food! It came out of my nose! WTF
Mommy to an angel baby and a sweet little girl Earth side.
@Nerdchild hope you doggy comes home soon and is showered with love.
@dolewhipper I am glad to hear that your sister's little one is making improvements! Hopefully they are out of the NICU soon and your sister can love all over that baby.
My bitch for today is that DH's crazy stalker ex-gf/child's mother is threatening to show up at his work again to make a scene and follow him home (we have intentionally concealed our address, since she does things like this). And we carpooled today.
I don't need her drama... I kind of wish she would just hurry up and do something really stupid so she can go to jail.
My DH is driving me insane!!! He owns his own business and I'm a SAHM. He's been on vacation last week and this week. It was fine all up until last night. I seriously need him to go back to work!!!!!!!!!
@erin7264 You mean cops won't consider her stalking your husband at his place of work and following him home to his pregnant wife criminal? Call me crazy, but I just looked at the .380 on my nightstand and rubbed it affectionately.
My friend that I have had for 18 years is making horrible horrible life choices and expecting me to act enthusiasticly about them, like over the moon happy for her. I feel terrible that I can't be. Like how stupid can you be? And she's constantly on about herself. Ugh. I am over people.
Anyone else giggle when someone uses the word twat? I was in a stab-y mood because of the GSD post, but that word just put the biggest grin on my face. @MotherOfDucks your SIL sounds like a real douchecanoe.
@thebigoaktree She's the baby. She doesn't have kids or a husband. She lived at home until like 2 months ago even though she's 25. She is acting like it is just her whose mommy is sick. (She just got diagnosed btw... she's super healthy still. Not that we take it for granted, but pictures could have waited a day or 7 IMO) She is just being as selfish as you'd expect from any hipster kid, I guess. The worst thing is, I remember last year. My oldest child is sick. Like... this will probably be the thing that kills her early kinda sick. Or rather, the immunosuppressants and some rogue infection. Anyway... last winter, she had a real rough cough for several months. But we took her down to my In-Laws anyway for Christmas. And when she started coughing so hard she was choking, I ran to her. And then hovered a little all night just in case. And I heard my SIL mutter to her parents about how "she is just coughing" and that I was over reacting. Not even kind of understanding.
Thank you so much @Nerdchild@blissylissy86@Y0urm0m@soberkfell and @MotherOfDucks her LO is progressing so well we hope she's out after the 7 days of antibiotics (which would be wednesday). I want to go visit them in a few weeks to pinch her little chubby cheeks.
& I actually just threw up out of nowhere, so there's the feel pregnant I wanted! Ugh.

As far as I'm concerned, I've told him to give her our address. I have a GSD and a border collie that is batshit crazy (and very vocal about it). She wouldn't make it past the front door. We have various weapons in the house as well, but the boys are the first on scene. Our county is vast and understaffed and response times are slow, but I'd be happy to call the cops on her while videoing the whole incident.
This will only be the second time she's shown up at his work - the first was a few weeks ago, he thinks she was intoxicated and managed to convince her to leave without a scene. He changed jobs a few months ago and it took her that long to find out where he moved to. I've never met her, she doesn't even know what town we live in, or that we are married or pregnant. I can't wait to see what kind of drama ensues when she finds out, I'm sure it will have to involve the cops.
I have encouraged him to call the cops, have his boss call the cops, to see about getting a restraining order, etc. I can't force him though, and I know he's in a tough spot wanting to see his kid.

Sounds like someone needed to be spanked as a child. My DH's sister is like that, whined because everyone but her wanted to do secret Santa because she would have only gotten one gift under the tree, you are 26 years old, time to grow up.
another snowstorm. Another power outage. Another camp out in front of MIL's fireplace. And she still doesn't know I'm pregnant. Electric company says it could take TWO MF-ING weeks to get everyone back on.
I work in an office where the few people on the front end take stacked lunches to ensure we have coverage in case of a robbery. Well, we are short today (Duuuhhhh it's the Monday after Christmas) and the receptionist plans an appointment for her nails RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LUNCH. I usually go at 11, and now i have to go at 2 and I'm starving. She does this all the time and never gives anyone any notice to plan accordingly
ETA: And then when she comes back she asks me: Samantha, why haven't you been to lunch yet? I about lost it.
Okay mine is part bitch part question. I am so freaking tired of the hip pain once I lay down at night! I mean pull it together body or it's going to be a real long 9 months...
Two:can I sit in the hot tub for even just a few minutes ? I'm 13 weeks the idea of a nice hot bubble water with jets sounds amazing to this messed up flesh suit. And my bathtub sucks!
@TattoosandLace 2 freaking weeks? Oh hell no they better get that ish fixed in a few days!

I'd respond with because you decided your nails were more important than me eating.
I am in the waiting room of my NT appointment and there is a lady with her baby daddy. They are essentially acting like teenagers tickling each other and giggling. Excuse me, can you please take your Tom foolery somewhere else? You are annoying me.
@Lindsayleigh1989 It's mostly about not raising your body temperature too much, I think. A minute or two probably won't hurt. Unfortunately, I bet staying in long enough to really help is a no-no. You can also try turning the temp down (if it is your hot tub) or just taking a bath with Epsom salts... Epsom salts have the added benefit if magnesium being great for pregnancy.
