This was perfect timing because I have a confession:
I kind of want to punch H in the face. Yesterday he asked me about girl scout cookies. Today he orders said girl scout cookies. I ask him when we get them....February 8th. WTF?!?!?! YOU DON'T BRING UP SOMETHING DELICIOUS THAT I CAN'T GET FOR 17 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we are all very welcoming to new people that come into this group that haven't previously participated but FOR GOODNESS SAKE, if you aren't going to become involved in the group after your initial post, DON'T POST, effing GOOGLE IT. I think it's really selfish to come into an established community to ask ONE question that you were wondering about and then freaking disappear and half that time, they don't even thank people for taking the time to respond. WTF.

I just stopped reading the questions. If I don't recognize the poster, I skip it. I can't handle it anymore.
Last night I told my husband that I felt too exhausted to cook dinner and suggested pizza (thanks to the Italian vs Mexican thread). I wasn't actually too tired. I just didn't feel like cooking and wanted pizza and ice cream instead of the baked salmon and roasted cauliflower that I had planned to make.
1. I called DH a Twatwaffle last night. In the most loving way of course. He thought it was hilarious because he had never heard the term before.
2. I put the girls I'm babysitting on the couch with a movie playing to get them to stop bickering. I don't think I could ever be a full time nanny when I can't discipline other people's kids the way I would my own.
3. I am currently coloring and eating fruit snacks like a 4 year old.
I got in a semi fight with my husband last night. After dinner i had desert of salted caramel ice cream bars (2). Then I found out the last couple of nights while I was at work he ate his Ben and Jerry's ice cream. So, fair being fair, I ate some of mine. He told me he was upset because I had just spent all day worrying about gaining too much weight and wanting to do better on moderation. I agreed with him but couldn't let him know. So I acted really hurt and disappointed in my self and pulled a bunch of "I'm going to fail at this" and "I'm not strong enough" mind screw stuff. He apologized profusely and asked if he could bring me anything. Damn right you can.
Edited because I hate when I see errors just as a I hit post.
I signed my daughter and husband up to go to a daddy daughter dance tomorrow night, even though he didn't really want to take her. I'm planning on ordering pizza, getting a few movies from redbox, and eating candy and popcorn. It will be the first night I've had to myself in I don't even know how long. I should probably clean or work on getting the nursery set up, but I won't, and I'm not even sorry.
I feel bad, but I dropped my D off at my IL's yesterday for the weekend. Took today off. Wearing stretchy pants and eating cheese and pickles and watching teen mom. Sent my husband upstairs to watch his own show so I could watch mine in peace. All under the guise of "spending the weekend together". But I need me time first!!!
I have procrastinated all my shit all week and now today is a nightmare hellscape of work I can't possibly finish in time. But instead of doing it, here I am.
Picking up the dog poop is usually my job. We've got snow that's turned to ice where our pup usually goes so the dog poop is frozen into the ground. Guilted DH into helping me with it by crying and telling him I was too fragile to use a shovel and I was scared I would slip on the ice. I don't feel bad about it at all. (Insert evil laugh here)
Dh has been working from home all week and it's driving me crazy! I can't get any if my stuff done, he expects me to wait on him because "he's working", and the kids are all distracted. I'm acting like its great because he's loving it, but I really hate it.

Our local Home Depot sells Dung Beetles. I bought two big boxes of them and turned them lose in my backyard. They eat every last little morsel of my FOUR dogs poops!! I don't even mind having all the big gross beetles around if it means I never have to pick up another turd again!!
I love being treated like a delicate flower at home because I'm pregnant. At work (because my co-workers are facking idiots) I am the head honcho who always is responsible for everything! I go to all the meetings, clean up all the mistakes, make all the decisions. When I am done at work for the day I can't wait to be doted on and let off the hook for my laziness.
Stealing from UO-

Same! I have no shame asking my husband to do things because I'm just "soooo pregnant." He obliges. Anywhere else though, I'm Miss Independent. But hey, I have to carry this kid for 9 months and either push him out or have him cut out of me -- H can handle an extra sink full of dishes every now and then. It's only fair.
This is boring but when I'm at any sort of kids place-climbing gym or indoor play centre and there's a designated play area for younger kids-there are always a few older kids who play in the area and I want to kick them out. It's one TINY spot in the entire place that's for my toddler and kids her size. Get OUT!!! I track down the parents with my eyes and shoot death lasers at them.
I hate my sonographer because she won't let me look at the screen during ultrasounds. At the very end she let's me look for like literally 10 seconds and cuts the machine off. She just says, "Sorry, I'm selfish with my screen." Fack you, lady!
My confession is that because I've had to entertain my 3 yo in my mom's podiatrist's office for an hour and a half (so far), I'm ready to tell my dear, sweet mother she can use Call-A-Ride next time. She has a car, she's capable of driving. If she doesn't want to, she can call a damn cab. I don't think I will be able to continue being her chauffeur after the baby arrives. I'm happy to help normally, because she is always ready and willing to babysit, but it's lunchtime, we're hungry, this waiting room sucks, and I'm just done.

I would flip a shit @denny+lee, that's totally not cool! I'm glad my office has a projection of the screen on the wall so the sonographer can be as selfish as they want and I can see things the whole time!

Fuck that. At my last u/s which was my NT scan they sonographer obviously had to be looking at the screen to do all the measuring and what not but she gave me a mirror so I could look too. What a biotch.
@CourtJack thanks for the response! I will try to be mindful of that. Still trying to figure out how to use this community. I'm 28 and use a computer daily for work but for some reason am having a hard time navigating this. I blame it on pregnancy
@CourtJack, @Sgoldberg247, and @ahernandez16, it's total bullshit. We just had our A/S on Wednesday so we won't get to see our LO again and I was hoping to get a longer look :'( I just think if you are going to be in an office looking at babies, try to understand that people are incredibly excited to get a glimpse and that it's been something they've been looking forward to and don't be such a super bitch. She didn't tell us the size of the baby or anything and we didn't know to ask, either.

I did the same thing the past 2 Fridays! And we hardly ever do pizza. I was too tired, but also, pizza just sounded way better. Can we say cheese craving?
We decided to order in last night in advance of being stuck inside for 3 days with the snow. Papa Johns had a special where you could get a second large pizza for $0.50. So..... we have a LOT of pizza.
My FFFC is my latest foster dog. When we take in dogs we try really hard to make them the best dog they can possibly be, so they are appealing to more people at adoption events and get adopted faster. Well, this little pup has the biggest doe eyes I've ever seen and I have absolutely zero will power while pregnant it seems. She gets a bite of almost every single treat I make for myself, and I don't make her stay in her kennel all night long. **Big long sigh** She's going to be a nightmare to break of people food for her new owners, I just can't tell her no.
on the bright side, she knows all of the basic commands, so there is that.
My confession is that I'm stuck in the backseat of a truck (in an extremlly stiff and uncomfortable seat) on a long car ride. All because my DH has to drive and DIL insists he has to sit in front. And go with even though the trip has nothing to do with him. And he smokes cigarettes the whole time. Its frickin stupid and as soon as I say anything to my DH about my back hurting he will tell me I complain or bitch about everything and usually get him yelling about something.. .stupid stupid stupid.....
@denny+lee I would be super pissed!! Was the ultrasound in your OB's office? If so I would definitely complain about that because they should know. I get that the job of the ultrasound tech is to get all the measurements but they need to have enough people skills to function aka let you see your flippin baby!!!!
@sb588 you're much nicer than me because I would be complaining out loud (in front of both DH and DIL) about how bad the smoke is for the baby
We had our a/s today, we know what we are having but aren't telling anyone... I'm not really sure why, tbh. I think it is to avoid name drama.
I'll tell y'all, though! Team pink! We are so excited! We have two boys already and lost a girl last summer! I think H is still in shock lol. This is the first girl, she will have 7 male cousins/siblings

That sucks! Thankfully our office has a TV display mounted to the wall. Yay for a 40" TV screen.
ETA: I would call your office and demand a free second ultrasound especially if this was your only chance to see the baby. It's amazing what pitching a fit can do, and your birth is bringing a lot of money into their office.
I just farted at my desk. Tiny but loud enough for my surrounding cubicles to hear. Then desperately tried to make the same noise by running my pen and shoes on my chair. Didn't work, so now I'm hiding in the copy room.

Call the office, request (read: demand) another ultrasound and bring a shank with you. She'll learn to share. :-P
