  • TP to the petroleum sales guy who comes by our office ALL THE TIME and is freaking annoying as hell. No one wants to talk to you. I throw away all the "swag" you bring because it's crap. You're creepy, so stop trying to make random conversation. 
  • TP to our society and the idea that not wearing pants is abnormal. I don't wanna wear pants!!!!! Nothing fits and it all digs in or don't cover right or blah.

    I can edit on iPhone - little cogwheel in top R corner of your post should give you the option?

    Some days I can, some days I can't. Some days I can "love" things, some days I can't. Some days I can post attachments, etc, some days it's a no go. lol I've stopped trying to figure out why at this point.

    Let's just give a group TP to the bump app. I don't even question when it's acting all weird.  
    Omg yes. Sometimes I "don't have permission" to post or edit either. It's rather annoying 
  • TP to DH who called and told me he now has a sore throat and isn't feeling well.  He's also losing motivation with doing the repairs to the house.  

    We had this discussion when he said that it would take him at least two weeks.  I told him he couldn't constantly work 15+ hrs and only get three to four hours of sleep.  He promised he wouldn't do it, but guess what!  The loss of motivation is his depression.  He misses me, he misses DD and it's just time to come home.Of course something I mentioned this but heaven forbid I know anything about what I am saying.

  • TP to in-laws who need to mind their own damn business. If you didn't help make this baby, you get no say in medical decisons! 
    Hallelujah to that! My FIL is an ear/nose/throat doctor with mostly patients over 60 and yet he has opinions on literally every single medical issue in this pregnancy. UGH.

  • TP to everyone who keeps inviting me out to do things that are about an hour away from home. I'm 8 months pregnant and I just want to curl up on the couch because my BH are constant and terrible. Thank you for thinking of me and inviting me out, but I barely have enough motivation to get out of bed in the morning and go to work. I'll be there, but know that I will privately moan and groan because EVERYTHING HURTS.

    I need to figure out a bridal shower gift before Saturday, since I just got the invite in the mail yesterday.

  • TP to my boss who just doesn't seem to get it... No, you cannot put me in charge of a new project that has an April 1 deadline - because I'm trying to cram all the other projects in before I go on leave! I need less stress, not more! BAH

    Agreed.  MIL is a nurse practitioner so she knows everything.  She also hasn't given birth in 30 years and her kids turned out alright but their are some parenting issues.

    Sorry, but I am getting an epi and I am rooming in.  Things change.  Oh, I also don't plan on abandoning DD once DD2 gets here...I am not you.

  • TP - my body.  Nope, at 35 weeks I don't need bronchitis and a sinus infection.

    TP - my co-worker.  WhyTF do you care if the company spends money on nicer toilet paper.  Please stop leaving notes in the bathroom for the cleaning crew to use the sand paper stuff.  #thinkofthepregnantladywhohastopeeevery10minutes

    TP - my co-irker.  Dude, SHUT UP.  You do not need to shout when you are on the phone.

    TP - same co-irker.  Stop getting my interoffice mail.  I appreciate the gesture; however, I am, in fact, not broken - just pregnant and I actually NEED to get up and walk around.

  • TP to Amazon. Just spent almost $600 on the rest of our registry necessities after the 10% discount that was only applicable to four items.

    On the plus side I'm going to be getting my cloth diaper stash in the next couple weeks and we get lots of boxes!!! I love getting packages. It's like Christmas because I can pretend like I didn't pay for it myself! >.>

    Don't get me started. H and I share a Prime account (since, you know, we are married and share a household) but it originated as his account, so apparently I don't have ownership of it or something? Meanwhile, I "own" our registry (also his baby, he is also listed on it). Which means we only qualify for the 10% discount, and not the 15% discount that you get as a Prime member. Because you have to own both the Prime account AND the registry itself to get the 15%.

    I mean, WTF?

    Wait...WHAT!?! I guess DH "owns" the Prime account, but again we both get it. He already got our stroller on the registry he made for 15% off, we're waiting to use the one on our ACTUAL registry until we decide what to get...it keeps telling me I still have 15%...I REALLY don't want to be told otherwise?

    Dude, when your H is dying for the Uppababy Vista (seriously, he has an obsession), you want the extra 5% off!
  • TP goes to my insurance company who told me to take my kids to a specific dentist, and then decided that they don't actually cover that dentist and they're now trying to stick me with the $1,000 bill.  Now I get to file an appeal and pray they change their minds.  It's even noted on my account that I was told to use this guy, and they're still trying to back out.

    Those of you with the prime/not prime issues, your husband should be able to share his prime membership with you. Have him check his account settings!

    oh, it is shared just fine. We've never had a problem sharing it. You have to be the actual OWNER of the account. Not the added family member. Which seems completely ridiculous to me.
  • Ugh. This is totally whiny BUT I want to TP the McDonald's next to my work. I really wanted a root beer but for some reason they don't have root beer. Who doesn't carry RB?! Thats a frickin Anerican staple! It's practically in the constitution. Life, liberty, and free access to all the $1 root beer money can buy. WTF. 
  • TP goes out to my coworker, who is too much of a baby to actually DO HER JOB. I'm so sick and tired of adjusting things that she should have done in the first place... Her excuse? She thought that it wasn't procedure to adjust it, so she made more work for her coworkers. How about you LEARN THE PROCEDURE instead of spending your shift following another coworker around like a love sick puppy. It's embarrassing and makes you look desperate... It also makes the rest of us in the department despise you because you aren't getting anything done in a timely manner or correctly. I'm so glad someone else in our department already complained to our boss, our boss' boss, and our boss' boss' boss about her and that she's really not working out. I keep hoping I'll come back from maternity leave and she'll have been replaced with someone who will actually do their job instead of thinking every tiny thing could get her fired, so she just won't do it... I also found out today that they switched what department she was in originally because she wasn't working out there either. WHY SEND HER TO US THEN?! We need smart, competent people in this department--not someone who is too chicken to follow procedure.

    I only got 10% too because even though we have Prime, it's like Prime Student or something so I guess it doesn't count.

    Can you sign up for a free trial of Prime and get the 15% that way?

    I hope you get this overturned! I work for an insurance company and if the company works in any way, shape or form like the one I work for does, the people who answer calls have zero ability/authority to do anything so they tell you to submit the appeal. If there's documentation that they told you to go there then they should absolutely honor that and pay your claim! If you haven't sent the appeal yet ask for a recording and transcript of the call and all documentation surrounding the call in your appeal letter. Majority of plans are required by state law that the insurance carrier provide all that information to the member free of charge if it's requested.

    Yes. However I already signed up for a free trial and couldn't do it twice.

    I also didn't find the welcome box to be that great... I guess it's good for normal moms who aren't hell bent on doing things awkwardly with no bottles, sposie diapers, or sposie wipes, but I did appreciate the burts bees baby wash sample, and stretch mark serum. Not sure about the diaper cream since you can't use most of them with cloth diapers, and we'll see on the pacifier lol.
  • TP to my ex and DD's dad.  DD has been sick the past 2 days with an up and down fever.  No other symptoms, but I kept her home from school yesterday, which used one of my precious sick days AND I didn't make $75 working the after school program.  Fever still fluctuated last night, so I made the decision to keep her home today, like a good parent does.  Except that I called him and asked him to split today with him (especially since she is spending the night with him tonight anyways).  I needed to go to work because I have my students year-long portfolios due next week...it's their standardized tests and a SHIT TON of work.  He keeps making all these comments about how his work is busy too and he needs to be there because he is the only one who can fix things there.  NOT MY PROBLEM.  Our daughter is more important, and yes, I sound slightly hypocritical in essentially saying "tag you're it" but damnit...step up to the plate.  And don't start bitching about what to do tomorrow.  If the fever is up, you keep her home again.

  • TP to myself for not washing windows in September. Looking back, I don't care how bad that MS was, get off your butt and wash those windows so that it isn't hell this spring. My windows all look like crap and it's taking twice as long to wash all of them because of the amount of filth built up on them. 
  • TP to my dogs. 

    Last night we took them to the apartment dog park, even though I KNEW it was a bad idea. They eat the other dogs' shit piles while we're there, and then they get sick and puke it up later. Puked up poop is the most vile thing in the world. 

    I caught 2 of them eating something and I got so pissed off that I made us leave. DH thought I was insane. 

    Well, 5am this morning, I woke up to a shit storm in the middle of our hallway. One of our dogs got very sick, had diarrhea, and guess who had to clean it? ME! 

    Also, the stupid ass dog got shit on his tail, and tracked it all over the house. I hate dogs. 

    I was so livid that I woke DH up and made him clean the dog. Of course he wasn't bothered by it one bit. Wtf. How does he put up with that nonsense????

    Would you put up with your child shitting through his or her entire outfit and up out of the sides of the car seat, all over the back seat of your car? Of course, any sane person would. I feel the same way about my dogs. It's not like they get sick on purpose and getting mad at them when they don't understand why and they already feel crummy doesn't do any good.

    This reminds me of an overhead page that occurred a few years ago, but it was ingrained into my memory. Someone paged, "cunstodial, please come to the medical desk...."

    TP to work in general lately. I don't know what it is about my job lately these last few weeks but all of a sudden, other departments are acting like assholes and I keep having work thrown at me that I don't have time to start.

    Babies and dogs are two entirely different examples, IMO. If Loki would have puked up the squirrel head today in my house, I probably would have flipped too.
