Today is my DH 30th bday. Background on this superman: It's been a huge year for him (great new job in public service, marriage, baby on the way). He's a fantastic guy, very loving and self-sacrificing and unfortunately obedient to a fault.)
My MIL called before 8:00am, not to wish him a happy birthday, but to yell at him for not leaving a message when he called to let her know that the package she sent had arrived. The package had tracking and he did try to call to thank you....so how the F is it worth it to get mad about today? It was just so ridiculous! She took him to task through the whole 5-10minute call then hung up and left it there.
He was upset so I gave him my present early to cheer him up and distract him, but in the back of my mind I'm gritting my teeth and just want to read her the riot act. I can't say anything Bc that would make him feel worse, but I really can't stand her.
sorry for co-opting the random thread.
I am up way too early this morning. DD was an absolute friggin' nightmare to get to sleep last night. I'm assuming it was somehow related to her reflux issues we've been dealing with because otherwise she's just completely insane. I had really been looking forward to some alone time with DH but by the time she was finally asleep and not acting like she was possessed by demons, I was just mopey and exhausted and sick of being touched. Then this morning she woke up at 6 am. Noooooooo baby. 200 mg of caffeine is not going to fix this.
@HBamama2B: Wow. I feel bad for your H. His mom sounds like a miserable troll. I hope she realizes how awful she treated him and apologizes. Also, hope you and H are able to happily celebrate his 30th today!
@Emztron500: Man, hope baby chills out and you get your alone time with the fella.
Me today? Work. I despise 6 day work weeks.
6 day work weeks are the worst! Uuuugh.
MIL knows it's his bday today, she mentioned it in the call and then went on about how hard it is and how much effort it takes to wrap the gifts and ship them and how ungrateful he is. This is ironic given that she and FIL often tell him his gifts for them are terrible and that they don't like / are returning whatever he/we spent time and money on. (They like really spendy stuff, which is fine in their budget range, we just can't always afford to go big at our income and have to get creative).
Their gifts today: their left over nespresso pods and two work shirts and a tie (both of which are the wrong size and almost identical to others they've given him). Do I secretly think it's a little bit low on effort for a big bday? Yes. But in my house, flat rule: we accept gifts graciously. So they won't be hearing anything but thank yous for the thought and generosity and I'll just spend all day making him feel special.
@emztron500 Hoping for a chance for you to relax today!
Im with you all... I hate 6 day work weeks. Even if Saturday's are my "short day", I still hate driving a half hour to work, only to work for an hour and a half.
(I know this one is way old!) but @fishwife799 I'd love to be apart of the labor buddies. Really hopeful for a non-crazy but I would love someone to be in contact with as we don't plan on telling family until labor is done and some time (an hour or so) has passed.
@HBamama2B - You sound like a great wife! I hope you and your H are able to enjoy his day together and forget about the butt heads.
My random for the day...I most definitely said to my H today "the bump girls talk about their Taco Bell or whatever all the time so don't scold me for picking up Wendy's!" And my Wendy's was delicious.
*now to read the thread @NicknShan posted way back 3 days ago...good thing I have nothing to do today but catch up on TB!
I had to start tossing out hints to where I made reservations for dinner and let him guess to get distract him again. At this rate I'm going straight Oprah with all my carefully planned surprises and am gonna run out before 6:00pm. If they contact us again, I'm turning his damn phone off.
(Disclaimer: I stayed home sick rather than going to my inlaws for the party...they have satellite so I could have seen them then. This day is a total fail!)

I was pretty adamant about not doing them because I would rather save and pay for newborn photos but now I'm super excited!

Kiss my a$$ heartburn.
Zulily just got me... again! I really need to chill out on the internet shopping and just be exited for all the packages that should be trickling in.
And, DH told me over the weekend that he wants LO's room to have airplanes in it, does anyone know where to find cute aviation decorations that don't scream "boy"??? Doesn't have to be pink, but I also don't want them super masculine.

Happy (?) Monday! I just watched the Super Bowl half time show - oh my. I loved it! I thought the whole thing was fantastic. And, Chris Martin is a babe.
ahha! that's funny! and it makes me love him more.
