TW Tuesday

I've been waffling (get it??) over launching this based on the content of the past 2 days, but it IS Tuesday so.....go.
Re: TW Tuesday
And finally TB mobile gets an award for telling me every 35 seconds that my draft has been saved. It's irritating to have to stop and X out of that helpful little reminder constantly. I've had to do it twice already in this paragraph alone. Seriously, it's like the microsoft paperclip....
@Aguinna82
I forgot how much that little paperclip used to anger me!
TB can be a twatwaffle, but it's been keeping me entertained while I'm stuck sick in the house. Tonight DH and I watched movies and I showed DH all of TB dramz and we had some good chuckles. He was like OH SNAP WTF IS THIS TERRIBLE PLACE!? And I was like yo this is where I come to look up stuff about cramps and exercise and get decorating ideas. He was like WHO ARE YOU?
My pants are a twatwaffle. My regular jeans won't button anymore.

My router. It's so frustratingly random and just shuts down my wifi on my phone every so often, leading me to run up my data use without even realizing it.
Also, night shift. I love that by working nights (almost 8 years now) that I am able to spend more time with my kids and participate in activities, as well as the hefty shift differential, however I hate that when I have days off after a long stretch of work, I am up all night and then a zombie all day.

I refuse to buy new shoes or a winter coat this pregnancy, so looks like Ill be cold, and shoving my feet into shoes that don't fit.
That really is horrible. I am lucky my insurance is good, or else I wouldn't be able to afford more than one kid just due to the medical bills. Hope you can work something out!
Not to derail, but has anyone had success with warm lemon-water to reduce swelling this late in pregnancy? I drank it 1st trimester to combat bloating and I'm wondering if it'll work now with other types of swelling.
I haven't heard of it, but worth a shot. If it doesn't reduce the swelling, atleast you will GLOW from all the water!
Anyway, my Twatwaffle today (why does my phone insist "Twatwaffle" is capital?) is my garage door opener. Since its cold and windy out I attempted to put the garage door down to keep the snow out of the garage and the cold out of the kitchen. After 3 failed attempts (it goes completely down and pops back up on its own), I have cleaned the area around the door and sensor and it still won't go down. And of course, I'm too short to do it the old fashioned way
Plus WI winter in full force. Negative temperature and icy driveways and parking lots. Not looking forward to taking my son to his 18 month check up this morning.
Also--whoever stole my plunger!!! Very long story, but DS was naked in the bathroom as I was trying to get his bath ready and peed all over the floor...and then fell in it. So I got a bunch of toilet paper to wipe it up and then clogged the toilet. And our plunger is gone. Disappeared. Who takes a plunger??
Edit: Haha...TV...I meant TB.
My 2 year old son can't be a TW so I will have to go with MH. Apparently, last night he referred to my son's diaper as "underpants". NBD, right? Well, cut to this morning when I am getting him ready for daycare and just toss his diaper in the trash. And then the meltdown to end all meltdowns! He freaked out, screaming "My undapants in the trash!!!!" and then attempted to fish them out. I stopped him and explained that diapers go in the trash, but he was gone. Flailing, kicking, wailing, the whole nine yards. I somehow managed to get him dressed and directed him to the stairs, placating him by giving him a clean diaper to hold. He then stood at the top of the stairs screaming "UNDAPANTS!" while waving the clean diaper like some sort of battle cry. We attempted to go downstairs which led to further sobs of "Renzo do it!" but when I would let him walk down, he would freak out and cry for "Uppies!" Finally, I just scooped him up and brought him downstairs to wails and sobs. He grabbed a bag of tropical dried fruit and started munching on "fwoot snacks" so I just let him while I made tea and tried to pull myself together. I got us both packed and bundled for the car ride (even remembering the almond milk for daycare that I forgot yesterday) and it looked like smooth sailing. Once at daycare, he erupted again, this time in wails of "Mama do it! Mama go to daycare! Renzo go home. Renzo doesn't fit in daycare." I tried to calm him and got him to walk in on his own. But he would not relinquish his bag of dried fruit and they were strangely adamant about him not bringing it in. The daycare worker tore the bag from his vice-like grip and I got out of there as quickly as I could. I am almost relieved to be at work TBH. But maybe I spoke too soon...
ETA: I have no idea how I plan to blame this all on MH, but clearly from my 1st sentence, that is my stance. It is all his fault. Ahhh, reason reigns supreme in our household as you can see!
It was so hard not to bust out laughing during the whole "undapants" saga. I didn't want to make him more upset by hurting his feelings and it was clearly something he was quite passionate about, but it really was fairly hilarious.
want a waffle every week!!
Not sure why reading this made me think of something... but my dad has this old, old friend he used to work with who used to swear by putting his feet in bread bags (as insulation) to keep them warm and dry.... mind you this man was not homeless and did own shoes! Just had a lot of LOONEY things he did!.. and I mean a lot. Guess you could always resort to good ol' bread bags!
Especially after the day I had yesterday at work. Yesterday a first grader came to school and told 2 other kids about how she heard her mom and dad having sex. Guess who's responsible for making phone calls home to those 3 families.... this chick. There are very few things as awkward as calling a parent and telling them.... hey your kid can hear you and your husband.
