WTF WED

WTF....to me. I worked 11-8 today so I had the whole morning to do stuff. By stuff I mean exercise. Since giving up spin I've been PLANNING to walk more or do prenatal yoga. Last night I swore I was going to do one or the other this morning before work since the weather is amazing today. I did neither. I suck. Instead, I cuddled my dog and started a registry on Amazon for the completion discount, since about half of their prices are better than Target. No exercise was performed, unless you count the massive upper body workout that takes place every time I try and get off the couch since my core no longer functions.

Edited for grammatical errors
That's pretty ridiculous! It's pretty unfair that you can only get that room if you choose an unmedicated birth instead it being an option to all on a you get it if you want and it's open basis. Maybe you can tell them you're going unmedicated...because what are the chances they'd tell you no you can't have an epidural if you change your mind halfway through labor? "Sorry sweetie, you said an unmedicated birth so you're just going to have to suck it up!" Unlikely. Or at least I don't think anyone who has ever said that to a pregnant lady has lived to talk about it.
We ordered our nursery set back in December like the day after Christmas. We ordered it in cherry. We put it on lay a way. We were told that it would take six weeks to arrive at the store. We have paid all but the last 20 dollars of it. We were planning on going and picking it up this weekend and putting it into the nursery.
Our neighbor works at Burlington Coat Factory in the Baby Depot department. She has been out of work since mid December with knee surgery.
So DH was messing with the car outside tonight and I was standing out there eating my supper talking to him when the neighbor comes walking across the yard. She wanted to let us know that today was her first day back and she had been looking at the special orders that occured while she was out. (not sure why they call them special orders since they have the furniture sitting out to look at. to me that is just ordering. nothing special about it). and she noticed that they had sent something to the store saying that the nursery set in cherry had been discontinued. She let us know that we'd have to pick another color and she told us what we could choose from. And that it would be another six weeks before it could get there. I told my neighbor that I was due in May and she said that she would even try to see if any of the other stores have any on hand before ordering.
First of all, a many gracious thank yous to our neighbor for going above and beyond and letting us know what was going on. She is NOT the cause for my wtf.
But seriously, wtf Burlington?!?!?! Were they not going to even call us and let us know? They have had over a month to do so. Secondly, does the manager of the store not have a clue about what is going on in her store? We had to talk to the manager to even do the layaway in the first place b/c the person on the register did not know how. You would think that the manager would know that, that color was discontinued.
I am so glad our neighbor came and told us that. I know for a fact that if we had went there on Saturday to pick it up and we were told that, I would have probably lost my shit and probably would have went all bitch fit on whoever was the unfortunate person to break the news.
Having worked retail in the past for several years, I usually try to keep my cool and be understanding, but there is absolutely zero excuse for this.

WTF actually to a corrupt system which allows people to starve and not have access to food.
And WTF to me for working myself up about it - I obviously feel guilty, but it's not up to me to take care of everyone - I do my part to help those in need in other ways.
I was trying to make a left turn onto a side street from a busy road two lanes in both directions (as were the three cars behind me) and I did what you're supposed to do: I signaled my intention to turn and waited for the traffic from the light at the intersection (1/2 block away) to back up so that everyone would stop and I could turn. Every other car played the game: the cars who stopped before the intersection pulled up as far as they could; the cars who stopped after the intersection left enough room for people to get through so they weren't blocking the intersection. Except for this one woman, who parked in the middle of the intersection, with a car length in front of her and a car length behind, just in the exact right spot to block everyone.
If hers hadn't been the only car in the way, or if she couldn't move her car, I'd have given up and gone the (very) long way round, because the cars lining up to turn behind me were getting close to blocking the intersection behind. But it was just her, and she had plenty of room. So I gave the friendliest honk I could, and indicated that she had space to move up. She freaks out, *backs up* her car so much that she almost hits the person behind her, and then blares her horn and flips me the bird! Not only that--after I turned, she started moving forward, darn near t-boning the person who was making the turn behind me!
I am still really mad about this and I can't figure out why. I think it's because I know that woman went home thinking that she was a good driver and that *I* was the problem, when it was she who almost singlehandedly caused a traffic jam and two accidents. INJUSTICE! But also, I *really* don't like loud noises (which is why DH does all the vacuuming), and her blaring her horn really rattled me and I was kind of skittish all night.

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!But ditto to PP. Talk to your doctor. Mine was extremely accommodating and made sure I got what I wanted out of my leave and not my employer before she filled everything out. I'm sure they've run into this before and will have a solution for you.
for example, I'm eligible for 60 days, but if my baby was born on their due date id only be taking about half that, so they allowed me to bank another 30 before my baby is due.
ive also heard good OB's will put you on "modified bed rest" if you need to get out of work before your baby comes
